Wow I haven't posted in a looonngg time. Last semester kept me extremely busy. There were points where I didn't know right from left my mind was so scattered. I will start off with talking about kung fu panda! I was skeptical about this at first from a few things I have seen, but I just saw this clip and made me change my mind completely. I even went out and ordered the art of kung fu panda book which by the way is probably the best art of book I have seen. They did an amazing job with it. characterdesign.blogspot.com talked about it on their website and posted a video that showed some really amazing pictures from the book. So check out the link to the clip. It is pure awsomeness!!! really. I am hoping that dreamworks really hit it home with this one. They made a character you can empathise with and most importantly... Care about him.



Also if you care check out the article on what characterdesign.blogspot.com had to say on the art of book.

Last thing I want to mention before I talk about ringling is... Check out the new podcast with ken duncan at animationpodcast.com. James Baxter also has three interviews on their that are pure gold. If anyone is seriously interested in becoming a good animator than what he has to is invaluable. I have listened to them three times. I think thats it for now.

Well I am an official senior at ringling now! It was definately an amazing year for me. I was very blessed and noticed I matured greatly as an artist as well as a person. Here is a link to my lipsync. I know its been awhile since I have posted anything but better late than never! It definately is not finished. I plan on working it A LOT more over the summer. Anyways here it is.

I have started diligently trying to work on my thesis. It has been a battle for every second I get to wrok on it because my mother has kept me pretty busy with her own side projects on top of helping out with the office eeek a 24 hour business that never stops. But I have managed to get a good start. Here are some pics.











So thats all for now. I am going to be posting some more soon enough and definately progress on me thesis!!!!
