Some Of The Sketchyness I've Been Up To: Volume 2

Ugggghhh! I've been so busy with school the past couple of weeks that I've barely had time to draw for fun. Anyway, here are some of the crappy scribblings from my sketchbook from the past couple weeks.

Manatee!!!

Besides all the animation I've been doing, I'm also working on designing the poster for Off The Wall, and coming up with designs for my website and business card. More on that later though.

A Blackbird For Mr. Robbins

Another page of scribblin's from my intro to poetry class. Today we were going over the poem "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" by Wallace Stevens and discussing the ways the poem uses metaphor.

I sure did learn a lot this week in class. For instance, did you know that very few foxes come out of eggs? Neither did I. Enjoy!

Scribblin' On Class Notes #1

So you are probably wondering what I have been up to, at least that is what I assume since you are seeing this message. The answer is actually quite boring: school. Yup, told ya so. Anyways, to make this post less boring, I've decided to show you exactly what it is I have been learning in class via my class notes.

My intro to poetry class is twice a week for some reason, so I got lots of notes for that.

Unfortunately, this poem is not actually about a skunk.

Here is a page from my animal behavior class.



These are from my animation classes. Strangely I don't scribble as much during these.




Hope this was enjoyable!

JUICE!

Why I love Chicago

I have been feeling a little depressed lately, so yesterday I decided to go for a walk along the lakefront. I have not really walked around the city in a while because of the snow and cold weather. So, I have been cooped up in the apartment for the past couple weeks. Walking was so refreshing. Going for walks is really one of my favorite things to do and this particular walk reminded me why I love Chicago.

NUDIE PEOPLES!

In The Year 2000

Today I was rejected by Teach for America. It was a bit of a disappointment, but it is not the end of the world. Teach for America is something I really wanted to experience, but it is extremely competitive and I am not sure that an English tutoring animation student was what they were looking for. So what now? I have one semester left of school, and then I graduate with a film degree. My last few months of school will be spent really developing my portfolio and making connections. Ideally, I would like to get a job doing concept work or storyboards for live action film or animation, but I would also still like to teach and/or tutor. I would love to teach or tutor full time and then do freelance on the side.

I guess we will see what the future has in store for me.

Until then, enjoy the sketches of my new do, and a random penguin.
I'll most likely look more like this one, because I'm too lazy to do my hair.

Toot!

Hair

So, today I cut my hair. It was completely spontaneous, but I was ready for something new. My hair has been really long for as long as I can remember. I have only cut my hair once in my entire life: I was in high school and I only cut it to my shoulders. Today, I cut it all off, well, most of it. I cut about 13 inches off and donated it to Locks of Love. Here are some before pictures.

Here is the 13 inches of wonderfulness that I am donating.

And this is what's left.

This is the last drawing of me with my long fluffy hair. New drawing will come soon.
