Good Morning

I hear birds outside today

They remind me of home. From Spring through Summer I would always wake up to hear birds chirping outside my window, with this beautiful kinda sunlight coming through my two windows (both of my brothers only have one window in their rooms).

What a beautiful way to tell a story- and a great way to combine art and technology

M&M


Character Designs for a show me and my buddy daveo are working on.... I hope to post much much more about this idea soon and/or create its very own blog to throw everything up on. Episode 1 has already been created and an animatic is soon to follow this summer :)!

Seth Mcfarlane is a hero of mine for everything he has worked on, created, and achieved- one day I will have done what he has done and more

Acting

"Generality is the death of communication" - Dan Bright

Dan is a great teacher and I couldn't agree more.
I wanted to share my favorite we've played in his class that have been a ton of fun and help create unique scenarios everyone can relate to:
1. good news, bad news
in a large group of people, each person alternates describing the imaginary 'good' news or 'bad' news of a situation by expanding on what the previous person says
2. interruptions
a person is doing something when another comes up and is supposed to 'interrupt'- not in the typical loud and obnoxious way however, this works best when these two people have conflicting interests and don't intentionally try to interrupt one another
3. alliances
in a group of 4, given a situation 3 will align themselves while 1 is outcasted; the outcasted does not fight it, but instead tries to get the others join him

This book, The Chrysalids, I feel expands on this thought in a different light- and its a great book :). It explores what it would be like if our thoughts could communicate directly so we could understand each others emotions exactly instead of filtering them through language.

How to Draw Your Dragon


So I just had a wonderful weekend in Miami, (listen here for what reminds me of there), but now its time to get back to work...

Here is an illustration I did as a dummy page for this children's book. I hope the author likes my page and picks me to illustrate the rest of her book :)

Mind Maps
