Where can I get more time?

Instead of doing what I am actually supposed to be doing this week... I played around with Illustrator some more:

in a way I guess it's good because I need more practice, but on the other hand there is a ton of stuff I need to take care of. Specifically I need to work on 1) actual school work and 2) comics...

In other news, I'm going to be heading out to the Joliet Historical Museum tomorrow.

My lovely friend Harvey (who was my model for the snow white project) is an intern in their collections department and will be sorting through a menacing pile of old wedding dresses.

Obviously I'll be there for emotional support.

I'll try and grab a few photos of things to post here.

See you on Thursday.

Animation how I miss thee

What? a post from me not about myself or featuring my "art"?
NO FREAKING WAY! YOU'RE KIDDING RIGHT?

No, I'm not, shut up and check out these awesome animations:

The Oscar Nominated "The Secret of Kells"

I cannot wait to see it!

Also check out "Kirikou and the Sorceress" (Kirikou et la sorcière):


Watching things like this really makes me want to get back to my light table!

Daww...

This is possibly the cutest thing I've made in order to practice using Illustrator:

I'm actually quite surprised how easy illustrator is to work with once you are initially acquainted. I think my biggest problem was that I've never really used hot keys... with photoshop you don't really need to.

With Illustrator hot keys are essential.

Also I'm making the move to Tuesday and Thursday postings official!

Oh, I didn't see you there...

hey ya'll here's some pictures of me...

lounging...

I really have nothing to say.

go about your business.

**** Actually I *do* have something to say... my awesome friend Nina needs you to go vote on her patch together design here

so do it already

That Kind of Tuesday

After all the craziness of last week I seem to have stressed myself enough to be showing the beginnings of a cold... I am currently trying to drown it in medicine and tea... here is your tuesday sketch update:

Super quick photoshop self portrait! long live photoshop month!

some hideous glasses I drew to illustrate how much I hate ugly glasses.

Seriously they look like pedophile glasses. stop it.

I need to make more time for art... *sigh*

Snow White

more of that Snow White business

Yet Another Monster

This one is more sloth like...

I don't know what my obsession with monsters is... I can only blame Holly Black for so much.

Also... I've seen my future... and it looks something like this.

dang.

Right....

Friday posts seem to be suffering the most with the way my current schedule works...

maybe if I move them to thursday I'd actually do them?

because I'm procrastinating, here's a look at what I'm working on:

it's for my "digital illustration" class... which oddly has very little to do with illustration...

the class should be renamed "advanced digital manipulations and layouts" or something.

as you can see the theme for my photos is Snow White, I used my lovely friend harvey to play all the parts...

I have a lot of work to do yet... like 6 more pages or so... ugh

Ordinary or anything but...

Sorry for the lack of friday post. I ran away to Minnesota and completely forgot about my obligations to this blog. (well not entirely, I did remember, but I was halfway through Wisconsin by then)

here, have an owl monster for your troubles:

I think I might make March "Photoshop Month" because I need to get back in the swing of it.
