I'm excited to announce the details for a group show I'm currently organizing. The loose theme of the show revolves around morning ritual and routine. Around 20 amazing artists from around the country (and beyond) will be featured! The show is opening at The New City Studio, the morning of Oct. 31st, and will include art, coffee, and a cereal bar!

animation chronicles

So I just compiled about 97% of all of the animations I've created this year. I don't know why all of a sudden I'm really into cell animation, but I'm enjoying it! I think since I don't have a wood shop at the moment, this fulfills my need to create something. 

Here's one of my earliest ones, but still a favorites:

Sky Sammy

I just finished my first short film! It's super short, less than a minute long. Its not really a film either, more like some moving illustrations with some sound effects added...But I'm happy with it!

There are always things I could tweak or add, but I took this one as far as I wanted to go with it. I know I could do so much more in After Effects, but I've decided to learn as much in photoshop as I can for now, then maybe later, dive into AE. I'm learning as I go, so things like the tomato sliding out in the end was a big deal for me. 

I learned a lot from this tutorial by an amazing animator named Alex Grigg. I just recently found out about him, I was became an instant fan after watching his short, Fantom Limb, it's so good! The rest of his work is just as great and wonderful.
