Grinner Gif

I am going to make so many gifs, with the powers that are Flash.

Attempting to Learn Me Some Flash

It's coming along.  The first puppet I tried to make was just a simple remake of Yaga's cabin, but I really messed up that file while trying to figure out flash.  Tried these guys out for size, made some more mistakes, learned some more, got some great help and I'm well on my way to being comfortable with flash.

Right now I'm working on another character puppet and a lipsync to go along with it, so I just keep working away. (:

Flip Boom Doodle

Toonboom is giving away their kids animation program right now, for free, till the end of Jan and I thought I would give it a quick whirl.

Go here: http://www.toonboom.com/doodle/ to grab it!

Obviously it's not a very advanced tool but fun to play with.

It's a new year

Hope everyone had a fun time ringing in the New Year. It is now 2012, as crazy as it sounds. 2011 passed in a ferver of excitement and deadlines. I did more reading in the past year than I had since I think grade school, and I feel better for it. (: I just started reading A Feast for Crows today, and I cannot wait to read more later tonight. (AFFC being the fourth book in A Song of Ice and Fire aka A Game of Thrones for you tv viewers)

Alsoooo, yes!  This is my 100th blog posting. It seems like such an astronomical number when I think about all the entries that had to be made, but I suppose my updating every day in November sketch-a-thon really helped P:

I like where this little character sketch is going.. she looks like she would be amazing to animate. Trying to learn flash... I find it irritating for the most part. B:

I sew sometimes.

This year I thought it would be cute if I could make a something a little personal for everyone on my gift giving list.

I found this amazing fabric when I was out shopping with a friend awhile ago and knew it was 'the one'

Thus, many technology socks were born. Useful for ipods or phones or even loose change. It was fun pulling out the sewing machine again.  So fun that I decided to keep it going.

Mr.Grinner with Mr.Grinner

Bagheera likes Mr.Grinner and technology socks.

Bagheera had a good Christmas too.

Mr. Grinner was given to Jessica, who wrote the story Dead Men, where Mr.Grinner originates from! I do miss him though.. he sat on my desk for so long, I may just have to make another one so I can have one (:

I hope everyone is having a safe and happy holidays, as well as a happy New Year!

Cirque Du Soleil: Quidam sketches

I had the pleasure of going to see Quidam Cirque Du Soleil show in Toronto yesterday. My first Cirque show! To state it simply, it was superb. So many times during the performance I just wanted to yell "STOP! Hold that pose!" so I could sketch it. These are just some memory sketches, no more than 3 mins per sketch I'd say. Was fun going back through the characters and reliving the acts in my head. I can't wait to see another Cirque Show :D

Is Nightmare Before Christmas a Christmas or Halloween movie?

Yes.

 

Hope everyone has an excellent and safe holiday!
