Here’s a sneak preview of a massive post that’s about to come which explains what I’ve been doing for most of the summer while looking for work and trying not to get too bogged down with unemployment… So, let me just gather my thoughts and sketches a bit more so I can provide a pleasurable read for you, dear internet readers.
This is technically my second year film at UCLA Animation, but I really consider it my first film. My actual first film was much more an experiment than a full film, so “The Fox and The Baby” really feels to me like a first film, with all it’s mistakes and successes. I finished it in 2004 and it took me about 11 months (from August of 2003 to June of 2004) from a complete blank page to a finished film. So, yeah, there it is. Enjoy!

There are far too many things to talk about, and I’m still unsure as to whether to put them in such a public manner as this blog. So, this sketch is a summary of how I’ve been feeling lately. Interpret it as you may, that way I won’t get in trouble and embarass myself. Well, maybe I’ll edit this post if I feel like explaining myself…

Not quite, but these were images that stuck with me in the last week or so. Actually, they weren’t on the same day or have anything to do with the other. The juxtaposition was obviously intentional, even though the chronology of these sketches does coincide with their order of posting. Maybe this was like flipping channels in my head and deciding what I wanted to watch… commercial free of course.
This character keeps coming and going in my sketching. I’m sure there’s a story to her, just don’t know which yet. I find the balance between writing and drawing pretty tough when it comes to story telling and am often frustrated at one or the other. This time her head is a little too big for my tastes, but I really only noticed that after writing this full post. Well, either way, I’m not ashamed to show it.
