Blurred

So this week has just been a giant blur.. so much going on and certain projects draining me of all of the creativity..

So it started off on monday by getting email from J saying there was a few grants available through MTV for a one minute animation.. All good and well but it had to be sent off by thursday so we had 3 days to put together a script, storyboards and a proposal

The story had to reflect our country, culture and how the world views us.. and interwoven into this had to be a reflection of technology and communication in the world around us.. So the story was pretty much done in the first night

(Bearing in mind we both have highly creative jobs and doing a 8hr day and then doing a another of 6-8hrs of highly creative work and then having 3-4 hrs sleep before starting it all again was pretty fuking draining emotionally and physically.. BUT AWESOME FUN.. )

So after 4-5 redraws on the storyboards and writing the proposal it was already to be posted.. and I sure was ready for a drink last night!

Me & J have worked on a few small animations in the past but this was probaly the best work we have come up to date.. I reallt surprised myself with how awesome the storyboards looked!

I will try post a few pages of it when I get around to scanning them

so... fingers crossed!

development of a wheke

This shows the development of a wheke aka. octopus.. he is a part of a story that I am working on.. I have shared any drawings lately so here you go..

It took just over and hour to go from concept drawings to a final image, NB. the shading is built up of flat colour so it tranfers across programs smoother

HAPPY FRIDAY!

One Million Dollars $$$

One Million Dollars - Soup Kitchen

Its a bit more upbeat and just as infectious than their previous 'Energy State' its a solid summer album with its fusion of soul-jazz perfect for those lazy summer afternoons by the pool.. my favourite is Walk Away

ATTENTION..

Hot black asphalt makes my feets hurty and burnt!!

that is all...

New Years 06

This about sums up New years.. a bit of a blur..
Its never a good thing when think you are sweet but then when you see the pics.. and oh no you weren't.. It was a good night not as crazy as past years, the rain i believe is to blame.
We spent the 4 days running up to New Years as warm-ups..

-only just survived-

A Blister in the sun... that's right a blister.

yep... its been awhile since I last posted.
It has been a mad 3 weeks, I spent most of it chilling at the beach although the weather was unseasonably cold it was great none-the-less.. many a beverage was consumed and a tales told..

I am slowly easing myself back into work, yesterday actually nearly killed me.
I spent the hour of our staff meeting trying to keep my eyes open, much to the amusement of my collegues.. But today I am on fire.. I am actually achieving something productive and keeping my eyes open..

Its another cracker day today and the sun is calling me outside...

I hope everyone had a magic break and feel all refreshed :)

-off to play in the sun-

All you need is love...

This honestly one of the albums of the year its absolutely incredible!

Well I kinda haven't started christmas shopping really yet, its like I don't think there is enough pressure or something.. I have less than 36 hours before I need to make my way home and in that 36 hours I have alot to do... like

*Do my Christmas shopping.... presents and groceries

*Washing some clothes

*Working (pretending to anyway)

*Joining the Christmas festivities..
BBQ tonight, Breakfast and lunch dates tommorrow and tommorrow night is "piss-mas" at the flat before we all take off.. which means we get drunk exchange presents and sing christmas carols very loudly

peace out x
good luck with shopping

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Yep.. its that time of the week again.. the end..
Its been a long and eventful week and to be honest I am glad it is nearly over. These photo's where taken a couple of weekends ago on the way to Catherines farewell.. Bye Catherine she flies out tonight to live in the UK..
