We’ll see! I got a contract to do a couple of iPhone apps for kids so now I just have to to….you know……learn how! I went out and bought a shinny new 27 inch iMac and an ipod touch with their money so in a month from now someone will very unhappy if I’m not up to it.
I have been peer pressured into a digital painting contest. I’ve never done a digital painting before so its gonna be real bad. The good news is that the sketch can be really rough cause you paint over it. Brace yourself for…… this thing.
I went to the Comic-Con in July. It was my first one. I did go to Wonder-Con which was fun but nothing compared to Comic-Con. I was in SoCal for 2 weeks on vacation. I stayed at Disneyland for a week and went to the San Diego zoo while I was there. I figured (back in May,) that since I was going to be down there anyway I would go to the Con too. It was hands down the best part of the trip. I’m going for all 4 days next year!
I will also be wearing a long sleeved shirt because there are a lot of fat sweaty nerds that bump into with their B.O. laden glandular problems. Not COOL. Comic-Con 2010 needs a Purell booth.
I got to meet John K. the creator of Ren and Stimpy.
I don't think I would want a picture with any other celeb.
He did this drawing for me. Awesome!
I hung it above my animation desk to remind me I'm not that good.
Here are some more photos from the best day of my year.
Not a big Trek fan but the new movie was cool and I couldn't resist doing the Kirk lean.
Everyone got a free 15 foot statue but I accidentaly left mine by the pretzel cart. Damn their salty goodness!
Oh and the Twilight movie sucked ass. So lets hope they don’t make the trip next year.
I mentioned in my last post that it was a long story and here it is…..
There was point in college for me (and I’m sure for a lot of people,) where after having gone against the recommendations of professors, I took several higher level classes at once. At the time you feel it will be worth it in the end, and for most of the semester it seems that way. But then, at the end of the semester you get these massive final projects. Now individually, each project is big but doable. Collectively though, they become an insurmountable behemoth seemingly fabricated to kill you. So naturally I put them off as long as possible because…..well, that’s what I do. Until then there comes a week where this horrifying cascade of project due dates comes streaming at you one after another.
Thus began a four day stretch where sleeping was just not gonna happen. On the 4th day I had to make an animation with the robot I created for 3D modeling class the day before. As I said before I did not have too much time due to other classes so I started it the night before it was due. Not smart at all. I stayed up all night making a half-assed rig that was little more than parenting a few parts together. Then after I “finished” (if you can call it that,) the animation I rendered it in pieces so I could sleep on the floor next to the computer for 20 to40 minute intervals before starting the next render. It was terrible and the work one turns out in that condition is atrocious. It’s a hard way to learn a lesson. In fact, I’m not sure what the lesson is or if I even learned it. I do remember sleeping for almost 18 hours straight when I got home after class that day.
Anyway, I turned it in and got a B+. (Either because of the shear charisma I bring to a class or just out of pity. )
Click to see the awesomely bad animation!
It seems like the worst title for a first post but I’m doing it anyway. Its not really my first post ever its just the first on the Flannel Rabbit. I figure if I start a brand new blog then maybe I will take it seriously enough to update on a regular basis. No promises though.
