My friend Molly participated in last weekend's Polar Plunge. Her team was Zombie/Star Wars themed, so I felt obliged to illustrate my take on the subject matter.
Drawn on the iPad with Sketchbook Pro.

And the Surfer goes to...
The Oscars are so competitive these days, there really ought to be an award for runner-up. Silver usually denotes second place, so how about a Silver Surfer in lieu of a Golden Oscar?
Why Meryl Streep would ever get second place, I have no idea.
o days....Oscar night! Viva La Luna!

A card for my friend who is spending her birthday in Disneyland. Remember, Ms. Poppins had penguins long before Mr. Popper ever did!

Ooh La La Luna!
I can't believe I'm showing a short clip of a short film ahead of time, but I'm so proud to have worked on this one. My chunk of shots begins juuuust after this clip cuts. So you'll just have to check out Brave to see my bit!

Happy Valentine's Day!
It's no use being anti-Valentine's Day. Cupid's out there, and he'll get you when you least suspect it.

Butt-Touchdown
Last night in class, we analyzed Ahmad Bradshaw's game-winning butt touchdown. I love the sharp angle as he put on the breaks just before the endzone, juxtaposed with the almost absurd squat-and-tilt backward. These are the sort of contrasting poses that make for great animation.
As I mentioned last week, my co-teacher Paul and I are also instituting a new tradition of students bringing deserts for the class. Here's Fiona with the first animation class dessert: dried mangoes.
Fiona was kind enough to bring a box for every row. We're definitely keeping this tradition going (though I discovered it's a bit more difficult to teach with your mouth full)!

Han Rolo
My brother, Andy, and I were more excited about the Star Wars VW commercial than the Superbowl, so we brought Star Wars-themed snacks to our friend's Superbowl party.
"Luke, we're gonna have company!"
We used Think Geek's Han-in-Carbonite ice trays and hired mercenaries to keep strict supervision over the molding process.
"Put Captain Rolo in the Chocolate Mold."
Aside from being delicious, the molds also look fairly authentic. Here's a Han Rolo next to an actual vinyl Han-in-Carbonite. By the end of the process, Andy and I felt like regular Dartha Stewarts!
"Who you callin' crunchy lookin'?"
Warning: if you eat too many, you may begin to suffer from hibernation sickness and temporary blindness.

"Adam and Dog" Wins!
Congrats to Minkyu Lee and all my fellow crew (such as the beautiful Jen Hager and Heidi Gilbert, pictured with Minkyu below) for Adam and Dog's win in
the Best Animated Short subject of the Annie Awards!
I've worked on a lot of films, and I'm not sure I've seen a filmmaker put more heart and soul into a picture. If you get a chance, go see this film!
