Unicorns

As opposed to the last post and on an extreme lighter note, today I spent some free time remembering the animations I used to be obsessed with in the past. Not only do they have most of the clips of them on YouTube BUT, the subject matter in some of these cartoons were kind of dark and depressing. You would think movies about Unicorns and magical things would be uplifting but some of them are actually quite scary. I am questioning whether or not my parents actually realized this or not. Anyhow, I can still see how these beautiful animated films actually still influence me today so below are some clips from 4 of my favorite childhood animated films:


My Little Pony "Escape from Midnight Castle"


The Last Unicorn


Unico


The Brave Little Toaster

Enjoy :)

Entitled to a Break

So I am taking a small break from my second thesis piece which is almost finished. I'll probably end up posting it tomorrow because I am starting to get dry eyes from staring at my computer for so long. Let me say, I am in love with my WACOM tablet. It does wonders with shading and so does my Pantone color selector kit. So far I found a company that can make editions of my files for the show in the springtime. So I will have these HUGE screenprints of my work hanging up. All 16x24. I would say that is a pretty decent size. Any larger than that would kill my wallet.

Anyhow, school has been pretty non-stressful and actually enjoyable for once. Last year I feel like I had way more assignments. I am so happy I have the free time to actually delve into my most important work which is my thesis.

2 down, 5 to go! My goal is to finish 1 per week. Next week I am going to send a finished one out to get editions done to test and see how it will end up looking.

NEW: Senior Thesis

So here is my 99% complete first thesis piece. I changed my theme to addictions within society. This one is about drug addictions. There will be text on top, but I haven't figured out what to say about it yet so be patient. There will be another finished piece up this week at some point. Stay tuned for a gross out on plastic surgery!!!

New Vimobots

Here are two new Vimobot designs for round two of the Mimoco contest. I doubt I will win again, but you never know!

FANTASTIC!

Sorry, I Have Been So Busy...

So this school year so far has been so busy! Lots of projects and lots of stuff to be taken care of. I'll be posting more often as projects begin to become finished. What I can post though, is a finished side project for my senior thesis class. We had to illustrate a guilty pleasure. Mine? Xbox 360. I can't stop playing it and I feel like a huge nerd because it sucks the time of my day out from under me.



The color is slightly off. I will soon either get my screen calibrated or buy pantone color charts to help me out better.

More posts to come as I have two more finished Mimobots from my toy design class and my first finished thesis piece. (My thesis has changed so disregard the first couple sketches from my last post).

Senior Thesis Outlines

So here are some outlines for the start of my senior thesis. Rock and roll.







More comming soon...

Acid Bile Disgusting

I have been up all night since yesterday at 11 AM. What is wrong with me? I am NEVER having coffee from Aroma again. My hands having been shakey and my stomach has been in knots for hours. It is now almost 7am and I have school in 2 hours. This is when I start to realize I have a sleeping disorder or I need to really shake my caffine addiction.

So I found out that my toy design will be released in early 2008. So keep an eye out for it.

This blog should start to become filled with images in the next 2-3 weeks so that should make this more interesting for people who just want to look and not bother reading any text.

Not only are his illustrations cool, he is also super nice in person. I went to a book signing 2 years ago at the Animazing Gallery down in SoHo. His illustrated book of Edgar Allen Poe and Moster Museum is well worth buying or just checking out.

Well, I am off to shower, grab a vegan muffin and green tea around the corner, and get to class without passing out in the middle of the street.
