oh, hey there

long time no see!

it's starting to wind down over here, [thank blargh], and all of my animations are... DONE. 
so... here they are! the fruit of my labors:

this one's for my digital animation techniques class, it wasn't so difficult, but the late assignment date was a bit stressful.

this one i've been working on for literally all semester. ga-a-ah.

stop-motion. dear god. it won't even load. 
 
it really DID almost kill me. kill me dead.

moving into the new apartment on sa-a-a-aturday, i cannot wait for my sister to see it. 
actually, i can't wait to start putting up posters and art and things... our place is gonna be awesomepossum!

keep it real

mayhem

i'm in panic mode and it is absolute pandemonium over here. 
also, they changed the blogger page. dang.

anyway, here's a quick gouache thingie that i made in between finals, apartment hunting, and being curled in the fetal position:

wish me luck, 
i really need it right now.

an odyssey

today was an odd day.

my friend and her girlfriend and i were late to a performance this afternoon because we had to find a sandwich shop for this homeless fellow, and the-e-en we got lost.

it was totally awesome.

now it is positively pouring outside and i love it. 
also, mad men is on in two hours- ooooooh!

"i," said the owl "with my spade and trowel, i'll dig his grave"

went to a concert this weekend.

kind of pushed, kind of bent

i've been listening to some hardcore Yeah Yeah Yeahs for the past couple of days. Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Regina Spektor. 

anyway, STILL stressing about everything. whatever. 

here's some of the things that i've been working on:

this little Keith Haring kind of guy is a quick animation that i whipped up for my digital class. he's gonna be fully shaded and colored and about a second longer. i'm debating what he should do after he shouts his heart out.

and then i've been sketching. here's a page of drawings i did about the past couple of days.

so overwhelmed. i feel like just sitting on the floor and staring at the walls.

these are the fruits of... what, 6 weeks of labor? golly i am so boffed for this class. 
[the finished thing is supposed to be about 45 seconds, the required minimum is 20 seconds.]

and, of course, the finished version will have more than just the dialogue.


kinda just gotta throw the spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks, you know?
