Haven't scanned anything lately, (or posted, for that matter) so sorry!

NYC was amazing!!

Tonight was also a blast: I got to visit SCAD-Atlanta with Karl and Joe, and we showed Bryan's Get Got and several amazing films from the International Animation Day event that we had back in November at Relapse Theatre. Joe talked about ASIFA-Atlanta and Karl talked about the Animation Workshop, and thankfully I didn't have to talk, just hand the projectionist the DVD :)

Haha, Ski Jumping Pairs was a big hit as always.

I might post more info and some pictures...

In the meantime, check out these two awesome short films my friends did (William Tucker helped with the blood in "I Stand Alone"!):

I Stand Alone

Jump Rope with Gutz!

Posts on hold again 'cause I'm on a trip! I'm in Vermont right now on the company ski trip, and tomorrow I'm headed to NYC! Eeee!

Sorry for no new posts for a bit!

I did this doodle in my small sketchbook on 11/11/06, while waiting for PBaRt to start at The Five Spot. It was a blast!!! I had a piece in the show and I met a bunch of cool artists, not to mention hanging with my pals Blake, Tak, Robert and others. It was so fun!!

The light was sort of poor where I was sitting when I drew this, so I made some lines overlap unintentionally.

Anyway, for some reason people seem to like this drawing in particular when flipping through this book, so maybe you'll like it too :)

No Internet at home for now, but posts will resume when I fix it.

Thanks for your patience :)

Blind drawing I did of a classmate when I took "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" at Emory. That is, I drew this without looking at the paper :)

I've got a couple more drawings from this class that I kinda like, although I thought I had more blind drawings (I like them the best because they look so weird).

Elizabeth happened to find this when I was showing her an old sketchbook of life drawings, isn't that nice?

Hi! Sorry for not posting for a little while! I'll try to post more often again. My friend Elizabeth left me some comments which reminded me that I have this blog :)

Here's a drawing I found in a notebook in a box that I hadn't looked through in a while, so I'm not sure how old it is exactly. It's before I started putting dates on my drawings.


Tonight I'll be headed to an art show at the 11:11 Teahouse, it'll be lots of fun! The Teahouse is at 753 Edgewood Ave.

Here are three drawings from different nights of the ASIFA-Atlanta figure drawing class :) I don't show these to people very often but I showed my good friend William tonight and he liked them, so I'm sharing them with you :)


Ten or fifteen minute pose. I don't remember why I didn't draw her mouth, probably 'cause I couldn't get it to look right!

This is one of my favorites. I had been looking at Jert's drawings recently (which I love!!) and decided for this pose to just relax and not worry so much about proportion and technique etc. It felt really good to draw like that.

And this was a short pose from tonight.

Doodle from August:
Attempt at a self portrait a while ago (I promise I'm not this mean looking in real life!):


Hmm. Examining the statistics for this page, very few people actually read this. So, thank you for visiting, you are one of a small, elite group!! :)

Wow! My friend Jason did this a while back and I saw it for the first time today. Our friend Derick told me about it... holy smoke. I'm just so flattered, awww!!! :)

There are a lot of things I love about this. How big he made my eyes and how things float around, haha!

The audio is from an interview with John K on a radio show. I got up the guts to call in, even though I was WAY nervous- this was before I worked as a DJ for WVFS, so I had no experience being on the air. Anyway I still have the whole interview at http://fluidtoons.com/JohnKInt.mp3 but Jason found it somewhere else!

I believe it's from 2003, when the Adult Party Cartoon episodes were airing. During that time I was also briefly on the MOTLOS forum, where I heard about the radio show, and I mention this forum very quickly as one of the first things I say here.

Wow! I'm not sure how to thank Jason, I'm just so flattered :)

I did this drawing after going to a very inspiring art show / solstice party at Teahouse 11:11. My Italian friend who is really amazing, Albino, had his sketchbooks out and his paintings up, and I was amazed. This drawing is influenced by an amazing cowboy face I saw in one of his sketchbooks.

Here's a drawing from October- my favorite format to work in, sharpie on 8.5x11 :) Hopefully I'll get better at pencil with practice, and a friend of mine suggested trying charcoal on newsprint for figure drawing (ASIFA-Atlanta's weekly figure drawing starts again this Thursday, woo!!).

Two sketches:I like the duck here (hence the little arrow). Trying to learn to draw with more construction.

And this is a skeleton and a horse :)

Thanks for looking!

Happy New Year! :D

This is one of the first drawings I did on my crappy little tablet PC. Hope you like it! :)

More old drawings! :)

I was no Ava (she's amazing!) but here's a drawing I did for my dad's 35th birthday when I was like four:



And here's another drawing, I think from early high school probably:

Here's another old drawing that hangs around at my parents' house:


I did this using the GIMP years ago (at least five or six years ago I think). At the time I was getting really excited about what I could do with drawing directly into the computer using the mouse! Unfortunately a lot of these got lost. I still have the hard drives, however, so perhaps I can recover them someday :)

So I'm home in Tallahassee for a little while for Christmas. I borrowed my dad's digital camera and took some bad pictures of two of my drawings which hang in the hallway here:


I don't remember when exactly I did this one, but it was years ago... Also, the lines are blue in real life, but the camera blackified them somehow. It's a bit bigger than 8.5x11" which is why I couldn't scan it.



This one's really old! I think I did this in first grade (or possibly right before). It's poster-sized.


Hope you like them! :)

After hanging out with my pal Karl today (he gave me a Moleskine!!), I was inpsired to try animating on paper. I only did eleven frames, but man, it was really, really fun to draw on actual paper, and have a tiny stack of it with real drawings on each sheet!! I can really see why people love doing it like this so much...

Here are two frames:





Test Animation on Paper

Here's a piece I did for the Mint Pin-up Show! I scanned it before I cut it into four cards.

The ASIFA-Atlanta holiday party was a blast!! :D

I got to meet Lee Crowe who animated in LA for 20 years- she worked on "Cool World" and a bunch of other films, holy smoke! She is super nice too. She likes my drawings!! That made me really, really happy.

Ward showed some really amazing old animation from UPA and Oskar Fischinger. Then I got to show my friend Bryan's animation "Get Got" (viewable online here) which I loooooooooove!!!! He also built the website for Animation Attack, a fest we're planning to have in July. Call for entries coming soon hopefully!

Then Joe Peery's band the Floating Coats played! Everybody seemed to love it :)

A bunch of my friends were there- people I adore so much! Charles Judson from CinemATL was there of course, and my good friend Robert, through whom I met Bryan in the first place (and lots of other people). Another very good buddy of mine, Karl, was also there (he is in charge of the Animation Workshop that meets monthly!!). Felix drew me and various other people. Joe K from Primal handled signing up new members. I also had the pleasure of seeing my pals Sean Corey Adams and Joanna Davidovich, although I didn't get to hang with them as much as I wanted!

I'm sure I'm forgetting several people I love a lot (Jeffrey and Ashtree!!) but it was really fun :)

Yay for ASIFA!

At Lee's recommendation, I'm probably going to join ASIFA-Hollywood. I never thought about it since I don't live there of course, but apparently they send you movies sometimes.

Ah yes! I forgot to mention in my last post, tomorrow night (well, technically tonight since it's now 1:04 AM haha) is the ASIFA-Atlanta holiday party!! Here's what Vella sent out about it, and I'm putting together a DVD of some of the highlights from International Animation Day that'll be shown:

Please come out and join us for our ASIFA Holiday party. Everyone is welcome and it’s free to get in!!

All current members that re-new their memberships will receive two free drink tickets!
