An appealing and unappealing bear.  Enter witty comment here.

Scribble

In the middle of an assignment, I did this quick scribble of a picture of my dad and I that I have on the wall in front of me.

Mary Mary Quite Contrary

How does your garden grow?

I like The Secret Garden, the countryside, a big mysterious house, adventures in pajamas, rainboots, gloomy cold weather, McGonagall.

Mary is always so serious and angry looking, but I would be too if other kids taunted me when no one came to pick me up after my parents died in an earthquake in India.  Kids are so mean.  Yes, her parents just died, let's throw nursery rhymes at her.

Tiffany would like to add: "kids are so mean, yeaaaaahhh.  play with that crooked spined mean boy.  PLAY WITH HIM."

Another Layout

Another layout from Layout class.

I'm sticking with a film idea finally, rough storyboards and designs are in the making!

I haven't posted in so long because I keep telling myself I can update once I change my blog layout, still haven't done it yet so I'm updating anyways.

Oh!  My friend accidentally found us an amazing pumpkin patch.  I got some more ideas to add to my film.

Layout

Layout homework for this week.  Two characters, one with a start and ending pose.

 It scanned weird at the top.  Getting back into watercolors after a summer without them.

red light... GREEN LIGHT!

School, is in session.

I've been working on a header, I'm changing my layout, and I wasn't allowing myself to post until I had all of that together.  But here I am.

I have two doodles to offer in preparation of bigger and better things.  Sleepy guy right here is gonna lead to bigger and better things.

Oh life...

I haven't posted anything or have drawn this much this summer.  My dad passed away on July 10th, 2010, very, completely, unexpectedly.  One minute he was here, the next, he was gone.  Gee I love commas huh.

He was an amazing guy, and I will talk about him for the rest of my life.  He completely backed up my dreams and career wishes.  My dreams became his dreams.  And he didn't question it when I wanted to get into the field of animation, of all things.  No one in my family is an artist, I always talk about how they must've picked up the wrong baby from the hospital.  The support I received and still receive today is astounding because I know there there are people out there who don't get supported to chase their dreams.  He went so far to help me get to my dream school, CalArts.  He was there the moment I got the call saying that I was accepted, and he was a part of my first year.

He sadly isn't continuing his journey, but I will take him wherever I go.  In my decisions, in the quirks and habits that I've gained from him, in the looks that I have from him, in the lessons that he's taught me, the knowledge that you only need to act like an adult when needed, and especially all those sayings he would always be shooting off;  "Lighten up Francis!"  "Negative Nancy"  "Because Willy likes cheescake."

He was the biggest kid that I knew and he had the biggest heart, he was fearless, he was from Ohio, and he the best dad I could've ever dreamed of having.

Expect frequent updates, I mean it this time.  Doodles and artwork will be posted.

Look to the skies folks for my film idea this year.
