It’s been a while, I know, but sometimes I have a love/hate relationship with technology that prevents me from posting more often. So, what is this post about? Basically it’s just to let you know that now all my films are available for viewing online. Just check out the vodpod widget on the sidebar and click on a thumbnail. A window will pop up and you can see it right here, without having to necessarily go to youtube. Cool, eh? Now, “Her Lion’s Jump” and my Animation Reel are up on Vimeo too here http://vimeo.com/reggaenights. So that’s the love part.
It’s been a few months since his passing, and Yoshinori Kanada’s animation still influences me greatly. It’s a pity that I only really found out about his work in the last few years, but it obviously reached my sight and mind many years ago without my full awareness. But I guess art works in this transcendental way in which we tend to experience an artist’s work sometimes vicariously through another, or it just happens to exist in the world sometimes lasting generations, so ingrained in our culture, that it surpasses its original purpose. To many, Kanada’s animation is just that, and I’m very happy to have learned about his work, and I continuously keep searching for it.
Here are some sketches and pieces that I did this past summer but never found a good reason to post them.
Hipster Tennis – she’s so ironic… she doesn’t even use a racket – inspired by my brother and sister-in-law’s shenanigans.
Yup, it’s Fall! More exciting posts to come soon including some character designs for “Hockey, Love, & GUTS!” and the occasional painting here and there. But for now, you can enjoy the new header above (and below, hehe.)

Since the film is out, I think I can put these here. So please enjoy this update to my portfolio page by clicking on the image below.

PS: (Of course, if anyone has a problem with having these here, just let me know and I’ll take them down.)
