More Photo Fun

I have clearly been having a lotta fun with my new camera/ photos! 

I went at the pictures with two different approaches-- one graphic and one more painterly/abstract. I really can't get over oddly shaped canvases, triangles make me feel like a hipster, circles make me feel classy, and I haven't played with squares to much so I can't say how they make me feel exactly... point is I'll be playing with them all :)

I'm finally putting my camera to good use now! 

I'll be playing a lot with image framing- like circles and squares and triangles [oh my!]

they are so much more interesting then a rectangle. 

more to come this summer! 

Family Tree

Hey so I animated my family tree for my anthropology class, using the correct anthropological- symbols (triangle for males, circle for females, red/women, blue/men, etc.). 

The file is pretty big, but I uploaded it to my google drive so it can be downloaded here:

but if you don't want to download it, here are some stills for it: 

Not my most exciting animation, and if I have more time I'd like to go back and purty it up but this is it for now. 

BeatPlate

This style frame was created in under an hour!! (speed styleframe-ing)

Brief from Laika:

"The BeatPlate poses the question: What if composing music was as simple as adding different foods to
a plate?"

Bear

An illustration that didn't end up working out for a concept of mine, but had a lot of fun doing it.
