Best Trip EVER

I just went on the best trip of my life. It was "Backstage Magic" with Adventures by Disney. We went to Hollywood then the Disney area. I will post further later with more details and some photos.

It was a boost I definitely needed. Lesson learned: Dreams do come true, you just have to believe.

Never Give Up

"Never give up." -Mike Walling


This is from the last crit of the year, and it really resonated with me tonight. Please keep checking back for various art updates. I will have sketches and animation tests up throughout the summer.

Class 2 - Week 12 Update

So it comes to an end. It was a long and tiring process, yet in a way it flew by pretty fast. I will be taking a leave of absence this summer to help recharge, recover, and focus on home stuff. Before I say what is going on here is the latest:

New class, new title card:



My new showreel, and of course I want to tweak everything:




My dog Webby may be getting some more treatments for the cancer on her pelvis. Radiation that happened in Oct helped it shrink 60-80% and it made the weird sliver that made it inoperable disappear. We may do a hemipelvectomy which takes half the pelvis and a leg. Between full time work, the dog, other issues, and AM I am about to collapse. Hopefully I will be ready for my trip to CA for Hollywood/Disneyland next week and that will give me a boost.

Keep checking back here for things I will be creating during the summer, that will most likely include sketches, animation exercises, and I may even try my hand at 11 Second Club.

Class 2 - Week 11 Update

Wow, last animation assignment week, here it is:



As usual I feel that it isn't complete, but I may tweak it more over the summer or just plow through other exercises.

Class 2 - Week 10 Update

It has been splined! Jump and prep still need work:

Class 2 - Week 9 Update

Sorry this is late. I had done more blocking to this and had started splining and thought I would wait until I had more splined to post here. Well that didn't work out. So here is the additional blocking I did for the week, next post will have a complete spline:
