home for the holidays

well, the semester ended. now i'm just [im]patiently waiting to repackage my things and run back into the open arms of chicago. this is my first time being away from college and not having a job, so there's not a whole lot for me to do other than just... read, watch movies, and draw. i'm not gonna complain to terribly much, though, because those are my three favorite things to do.


here are some of the things that i've done over break:

here's a  sketch of my beautiful friend miss sabrina. [she is an adult film superstar.]

and here is me. trying to draw in the style of titmouse, and probably failing a lot. wow, that's awkward.

anyway, i guess that's all for now. i don't have my very own scanner at home, so it's a bit tough to get my doodles on the computer.

all the best and happy holidays,

no time for anything but ugly doodles.

almost there.

happy belated birthday, walt!

so, yesterday was walt disney's 110th birthday. 
it was also my first final, and boy golly, was it a toughie! still, i'm glad that it's done with and out of the way. now i can focus on the important classes... like animation! 

... or like the thesis paper on the golden age of disney that i should probably be hacking at right now... 

stay beautiful,

the fruits of my labors. 
here is the finished and fully sounded animatic for my story boarding and concept art class.
from cradle to grave it took like... idunno, four weeks to fully make? not including the first pass of the story board.  i hope the internet is somewhat impressed with it! 


i might go back and fix it up eventually, but for now this is what i will be submitting as my final piece. 


there's a light at the end of the tunnel. i can see it. i just hope it's the sun and not an oncoming train.
