Waiting on renders silliness. I joke that my boyfriend is like a golden retriever puppy.

The Wolfman- Trailer 2

The second trailer for The Wolfman with Anthony Hopkins, Benicio Del Toro, and Emily Blunt is out. The shot around 1:20 where the old guy with long white hair & a hat gets tackled was one of the ones I worked on. I'm so excited to see this project come out- it was very different then anything I've worked on before. It looks great!

Hooray! This has been a long time coming and now with Alvin2 wrapping up it was time to clear away my old student website & update everything. Please go check it out! I'll be posting my reel there sometime around next month & then updating it in December as Aliens in the Attic & Night at the Museum 2 come out on DVD, respectively.

YouTube Updates

My senior thesis "Threads" is now on YouTube in HD quality.

Still more important stuff coming very soon.

It's That Time Again...

...Overtime Time!
My various artistic pursuits have been put on hold to light everyone's favorite singing, dancing, fuzzy, rodent trio. So cute...

A quick few from this month's gypsy-themed Downtown Figure Drawing Salon:

Family Values

Back home to Indiana for a short visit & flipped through the old family photo albums with my grandpa. These old pictures are so beautiful. Will our great, great grandchildren look at our digital photo files someday and think the same thing?

The Cicada Club

In Downtown Los Angeles there is this swanky little place called The Cicada Club where on Sundays they have an amazing swing/lounge/blues band. Everyone gets dressed to the nines vintage style & goes to dance and have a drink. I'm working on learning to swing dance... it's coming slowly as both my feet seem content to stay earth-bound for the rest of my life.

Venice Beach Afternoon

Biked from Culver City to Venice Beach last weekend & spent some time hangin' around (har har) on the playground equipment down the beach from the Santa Monica Pier.

Summertime in the City

60th birthday present for Mike Rodal, my high school art teacher who taught me that contrary to popular belief, you can in fact make a living as an artist (but not by ditching math class)! Happy birthday Mr. Rodal!

Sorry so little blog activity.. been doing a lot of this:

SLO Weekend

Headed North to San Luis Obispo for a much needed break from the city and a weekend filled with friends, wine, marshmallows, climbing, camping, stargazing, and hiking.

So do you want the good news or the bad news first? Bad news? Okay... bad news is that I did almost no drawing to speak of during my trip. I found myself so incredibly busy enjoying Bavaria & Tuscany that I simply just didn't think to take out my sketchbook much. I'm disappointed in myself, but I do have a large number of pictures that I'm sorting through that I'll be sharing soon! (I promise that I'll edit down the thousand-some that I took to an album of choice shots!)

So good news is that I went to the Late Night Drawing Salon downtown on Friday with a couple of friends so I have a couple of sketches to share from that- hooray! Theme was '70's Sci-Fi'.

Wow

To make a long story short, Marc, a friend of mine's stepdad is Ron Clements; co-director of The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules, and the upcoming The Frog Princess. Marc invited my friend George & I to go to dinner with his family and to go see UP at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood (Which was an experience in itself- they put on quite a show before the movie has even started!). I sheepishly lugged along my Art of Hercules book & asked Ron to sign it & he offered to take it into work with him to get all the animators from the movie & his co-director John Musker to sign it as well.

I'm so excited- it's defiinitely one of the coolest things I own. Ron was so incredibley nice & humble- a great guy. It was definitely an honor to meet him & talk to him. Disney movies were such a big part of my life when I was a kid as well as after I decided I wanted to be an animator- these guys were my childhood idols!

Thank you so much Ron & Marc!

Adieu

Germany trip begins beautifully.
See you soon!

Recent crappy drawing efforts have necessitated strategic use of band stickers.
