Thanks VIDF for another annual 3 weeks of free life drawing! They turned out kinda coffee shop sketchy cuz I drew them in my sketchbook instead of the usual newsprint pad. I loved how I could just walk over, from the studio to the sessions, during my lunch hour this year :)

I don't know what the fad is with this sewing plush toy thing so one weekend in January I sewed some of the characters from the show I've been animating. They turned out pretty not bad and now they sit together at the studio.

I went to a play last week and I sat beside this old couple who must have (must of?) had an argument before they arrived. I couldn't figure out what the old lady was bickering about, but wow, was she uber bitter. She didn't take her jacket off the entire night and kept her purse clenched and on her lap the whole time too. I keep making up stories of what it could have been about. Here's a sample of her remarks, but I couldn't make sense of it.

They paved a highway right through my grandma's farm in Japan. There's also a new shinkansen line in the background.

This is supposedly a fire hydrant cover, which warns drivers not to park here.

Been freelancing for a fashion designer. Here's the cover for her look book. We can't show you any of the designs inside though, because they're confidential until the fashion show :)

writing from Paris...

Today begins the second week of summer school here at Gobelins. There are 36 of us, representing (and misrepresenting) 16 different countries. Thus far, it has been an amazing experience, being taught by fantastic teachers and being surrounded by fellow animators that remind me of my classmates back home. From the first day here, we all got along instantly, just like the first day we had at Cap. Even though we are from all parts of the world, it was almost surreal to see us all flipping paper and scribbling with colerase, in pretty much the same way.

Gobelins, Paris, animation, and awesome classmates. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Except that I wish you were all here :)

I couldn't find my car the other day because it was a symbol and the comp was set to the wrong single frame so it wasn't showing up in the lot. Then I woke up. I have finally dreamt in Flash.
