Animation

I've been a fan of animation for as long as I can remember. It's actually one of the subjects I would like to get into with my art. Yesterday I went to watch Coraline and it was great. The storyline could of been a little better I guess, but the slow stop animation was really cool. I'm a huge fan of dark art ex: Tim Burton stuff. I am currently working on my own stop motion animation can't wait to post it up and see what everyone thinks. For now here are a couple of videos I find interesting! One of them is called the Muto Wall by an artist name BLU and the other is called Minilogue/hitchhikers choice by Kristofer Strom

Old school..

Some old school pen and ink fine line art on a handkerchief I did back in the 11th grade.. It's titled "Crazy Dream" it's actually larger than what it appears; some of it was cut off I didn't take a great picture.  Handkerchief or "Pano Arte" is a Chicano/ Latino art form that originated in the Southwest prisons in the 1940's or 50's. I have a large collection myself =)

Here's a few links about it..

SAIC Guest Speaker

Well I got my portfolio reviewed by Greyson Hong from SAIC. Over all he said it was
"Strong and the talent was definitely there," but I should focus more on where I'm trying to go with my art; what the emphasis of it is? Hmm, I guess to me I know what it means personaly but i'm not stressing it enough in my work for others to understand.. So looks like I have a busy schedule ahead of me; need to develop my voice on it even more for others to apprehend the man behind the art.. El Artista..

Painting is fun!!

Today I had a fun time in my Painting I class. I was never much of a painter until I started doing so in Color theory with Professor Leonard. I mainly focus on dry media like graphite, charcoal, pen and ink etc, but I'm really getting into painting, it's really fun!!! Here's one example of an achromatic study from Color Theory, something from my imagination, I love illustration.. Haven't gotten a chance to finish it though. = {
