Wow, i haven't posted here in months! It's already 2009!!!


Well, i lied about my last post. i really didn't stop drawing. i'm drawing more than ever now. My friend started a production company & he's working on a cartoon show pitch for which i'm on board for as an animator/character designer/concept artist. Also, i'm interning at two incredible animation studios, and on top of that i'm trying to finish a thesis film. My right hand went numb two nights ago from drawing (this happened around 5 am, no i didn't sleep) so i started doing animation roughs with my left hand. It was actually super fun. Anyway, so much has happened since May! Here's what happened in a stream of consciousness paragraph:

June, hospital, psychiatric ward, anti-depressants, move back to Jersey, in a relationship status, internship, work, trip to the Philippines, off the happy pills, THESIS, more internships, more THESIS, ex-boyfriends, single status, move back to New York!, party,party,party, get another internship (2 more), teaching job, work, intern, school, work, intern, school, meet new boyfriend<3 loooove liiife oh & MORE WORK ON THESIS FILM.

i would post some work from that film, but FLASH isn't working on this computer. Oh well, i'll be back blogspot. For now, here's a life drawing or two from October...

020.

3 min. 7-10 minute drawings from some weeks ago.

019.

It's 20 degrees outside right now, & my heater exploded & continues to spew brown liquid. This makes me sad. Sad & cold. My tears..turning..into...icicles. i wonder if breathing airborne pathogens consisting of paint debris & urine-smelling mold will cause early lung failure. Probably. & now i'm eating cereal. It's making me colder. Warm cereal should be invented for occasions such as this. Wait, i think that already exists. & i think it's called porridge &/or oatmeal. ...nevermind.

018.

5 min.



a set from November




2 min.


2 done in 10 min.


all in 20 ...


i've noticed lately that for some reason the longer the poses are, the worse my drawings get. workin' on fixing that.

015.

Lit. notes & sleepy classmates probably bored by Gregor Samsa.

014.

Some of October's drawings from the underground. When i was doing the blue one in pencil, a guy sitting next to me watched for a while, until he decided to let the woman across from me know that i was sketchin' her. It was kind of a weird encounter considering the woman didn't care to see the picture at all, & i can't say i did either, but the guy was so hyped about it. We all looked at each other for a minute with awkward smiles, until the train stopped at Union Square, where we all got off & proceeded to remain strangers.

013.

some of September's 7 minute poses

012.

... some subway sketches of September

010.

Summer's gone, although today in New York city the high will be 88 degrees, & October is less than a week away. i'm living in Brooklyn for the time being, so sketches from the subway rides to the city are building up. For now, i'll put up some old drawings from this past spring, to compare to my recent ones i'll post later on.

006.

i haven't had a lot of time to draw in my spare time due to copious amounts of reading for humanities classes, & After FX'ing, & unnecessary Flash work i gave myself. Urgahheeh. Also, the short film is due in a month or two & that's gonna take up a lot of time, so this blog might be neglected for the time being.

Lately, i've been on this kick drawing straight ahead with sharpies & brush pens, & i'm positive it's making me draw worse, but i'm addicted & won't stop 'coz it's so fun.

7 minutes, & watercolored later

004.

Progress? September - January figure studies.
Oldest are above (10 minutes), with the most recent one i did today at the right, (5 minutes) & yesterday's (7 min.) at the bottom.

001.

so i'm workin' on getting better at this life drawing deally. 7 minutes each.
