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*
