why are all the "next blogs" in french..trashy french...like pug dog appreciation sites...all of them.
and why can't I easily scale down my little movie and post it up.
and why I am wasting time writing to myself.

the sequences
I totally forgot about another series of images I had exhibited in a "Drawing & Animation" touring exhibition - starting at Gympie Regional Gallery - last March (more than a year ago)
I mean where did this year GO????
The title was actually "DNA" - a sense of the fact that Drawing is the foundation of all Art, and of course Animation...no matter what kind of fanciness a computer can do these days.
I also gave an artists talk about the exhibition, and about my own practice.
I like doing that stuff
I've been working steadily away on this thing...the more work I do on it, the more I love it...and the more I hate my day job
Promise myself to do No More Whinging
as I now have links to some excellent motivational blogs like 'Zen Habits' (the business of being a creative writer - close enough to what i do), who had a great little (quite a ot of pages actually) booklet called "Un-Procrastination".
Now if I could get around to actually Reading it, it might help :_)
anyway,
a couple of pics from the "9 months in One minute" sequence - where i also screened the updated intro animation line test....

some new concept art images
More scenes underway...
I've found that developing a decent 'concept art' image helps me to get going on things.. feels like i have something more concrete to start me animating - not the least because it's a slightly better drawing than the scratchy 'blue pencil' lines in the animatics.
It took around one day per image to complete these...at this rate...the film will be done in around the year 2024, given i have so little time to devote to it.
Having said that, the thrill of seeing them printed (on high quality rag paper), with the intesnity of the colours and simplicity of the lines was such a joy and spurred me to continue...keep this struggle going!
These were exhibited in Poland last November (and continue as a touring exhibition) - I went to Wroclaw ('vratslav') for the Opening...
It was AMAZING
more to come
