A character I modeled and surfaced as a means to train myself in Autodesk Softimage while I was an intern at the wonderful Janimation in Dallas, Texas.

I designed him too! Check out my process!!

Old Sketches

This collection of sketches comes from many of my portable sketchbooks I've kept in my purse over the years! The trees were drawn at my summer job before I began work on my thesis film at Ringling.

Hooray!

Crochet- Frida Kahlo

More Crocheted stuff! I wanted to make something that would look like a famous person. Frida Kahlo just happens to be one of my mommy's favorite artists, so I made her a random gift. She liked it. ^_^

Currently making another for me! Not Frida though, one of my favorite persons ... i'd tell you his name but what's in a name? ;)

The Apartment- Lipsync

Hi kids! ^_^

Did not post for a while as I became very busy with a internship in Dallas at Janimation that just wrapped up. It was amazing.

Anyway, this was a practice lipsync animation to a piece of dialogue from one of my favorite films "The Apartment". It features the voices of the always fabulous Jack Lemmon and Fred MacMurray.

Crocheted Stuff!

I can crochet now!

Just looky what I've been making for people:

Will try doing a caricature of a famous person next in plushie form. Should be awesome.

Dante Alighieri

Now, it is time to feature one of my other favorite figures of classic literature, Dante. Poet whom penned the Divine Comedy, with the hit single Inferno.

Many beautiful philosophical thoughts are presented in his journey through Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. One is that the greatest sin, as Dante sees it, is deceit and betrayal, as to partake in this is to deny respect for your fellow man's humanity, and that this is the most corrosive to civilization. Might have had something to do with the fact that he was writing in exile, but still makes sense.

And if your an artist, these are his thoughts to you:

"Art, as far as it is able, follows nature, as a pupil imitates his master; thus your art must be, as it were, God's grandchild."

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone's holidays were fabulous and a very merry 2012 to everyone!

Wish I could have sent my holiday cards out to everyone, but I ran out really really fast! O_o Next year I hope to order much much more. Thought I'd share the front with everyone though! Enjoy!
