Forget it all and just go.

Chronic HP Disease

Just a preview for what the infection has done to me. I guess be expecting it as soon as it is finished? Not much else :)

LiveStream!

Please feel free to stop in! I am going to try and doodle something up every night at eleven pm.

Here is my current portfolio on livestream: All of ONE drawing! Just finished, nothing great. Just playing around. :)

Ben Maltz Gallery Featuring MAKE:CRAFT

The Ben Maltz Gallery at OTIS opened their MAKE:CRAFT gallery exhibition today at 4pm. Wait...but it's only 12:40pm right now...so...how?

That's right. Yours truly got a sneak peek. ;) And how? Well, it wasn't hard. It's called meandering around the grounds looking into the gallery windows while looking particularly saddened that it says "Closed." Happens that one of the gallery Curators was present and so decided to let me in for a closer look. Oh man, I lucked out! I got to see everything, experience (more on this later) everything and try it all out before anyone else was present. Which of course meant not having to shuffle through the opening ceremony and tons of bodies.

So onto the actual work. I took a few snap-shots of the work on display (I hope that this won't get me into trouble...) and will reflect on a few pieces there. All in all it was a beautiful display of crafting skills. Some were more conventional than others, some were simply mind-blowing and a few left you feeling a bit like a kid in a candy store. By this of course I am referring to Eddo Sterns 'DarkGame' which is being held at the gallery exhibit now. It was...fascinating.

Anyways, here a few images, obviously not all of the pieces, ( as I encourage all to go see it if given the chance. Well worth it and its FREE :D ) enjoy!

Otis Art Post #1

Artwork for my Perspectives in New Tech Class:

These are thumbnails done purely for entertainment of an assignment, I think I spent a total of three minutes on each. Haha, Can't you tell? The real Assignments will be uploaded as soon as they are returned. :)

These two are my pseudo editorial frames from 'The Red Death', just as the ghoul in question begins to turn and leave from his highness' presence.

Artwork from Drawings Animals for Films:

Here is artwork uploading from some of my sketch archives for my Animal Drawing course with Gary Geraths. I thoroughly enjoy this class, more so than any other class thus far. I really look forward to seeing what I can learn here, and Gary is a splendid teacher and individual. Very animated haha.

Anyways, the first three are from an assignment in where he asked us for a werewolf of our choice. Naturally, this was a Work in Progress and as such represents much of the humanistic traits as well.

Second, are some drawings done from observation of Skeletons at the Page Museum Tar Pitts. Very different and new to me, and I apologize for my lack of understanding the animal. I am working hard to ensure I improve. :)

And just a little something I doodled while watching Triumph of the Nerds Pt. 2 in Concepts and Issues today...

Art Post #1

In this post I will be uploading some images I did prior to my work at OTIS. The next entry will include works from the previous 3 weeks at OTIS college of Art and Design.

Before I get into uploading and all that glory--I got an email this morning from Harry Mott, the Department Chair of Digital Media, asking me to come see him about my animation goals. Huh, interesting right? Turns out he read my blog with the help of one of OTIS' search engines. Cat's out of the bag ladies and gents! They see everything! Haha, well I didn't mind, sure as hell got me into his office to see him. After talking to him for a short while about what I wanted to do, what I want to do, and where I will be doing it--he is going to be emailing me some contact information on a few graduates as well as contacts in general of heading up the industry for 2D animation. I'm happy to see that he is willing to work with me in terms of what I want.

I really enjoy OTIS, and I know the school has a lot to offer me in terms of preparation and what to expect to find out there in the workforce. I know that is one of the key advantages to this school. But I want what I want, and I will work as hard as it calls for to get there.

Also? I bought some materials to start brushing up on my Figure Drawing skills to prepare to form another portfolio should I need one. And its just in general a good idea to make sure I have keen and clean skills in anatomy.

So First off---Here are a few pieces I did while waiting mindlessly for school to stat. Nothing spectacular, I promise. :)
