NYC pics

The trip was incredible. Long story short, if I didn't already have plans to move there after college, I sure do now.

Now normally, I'd fill as much of this scrollbox as I could with every good picture I took in the city, but because this is an art blog (or at least it tries to be, god bless it), I'll post the still fairly large amount of photos I consider to be "artsy" (i.e. cool buildings, graffiti, or just decent shots). A few of these are actually from the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit, which I narrowly avoided getting kicked out of after they were taken.

Note: if you end up looking at every single one of these pictures, please get off the computer and get some sun.

This one was just for me.

Crooked Teeth

To celebrate the trip to New York City tomorrow, I took a few lines from Death Cab's "Crooked Teeth" and came up with this. The lines are:

'cause at night, the sun in the trees
made the skyline look like crooked teeth
in the mouth of a man who was devouring us both.



P.S. The Guggenheim is putting on an exhibit of over 200 of Frank Lloyd Wright's original sketches, designs, and models. If flash (or any, rather) photography is allowed, I'll definetely be bringing home pictures. That is, if I don't get so excited that they throw me out.

Red Flowers

I felt a little anxious to draw today, so I took imagination out of the equation and just drew flowers. Not all that inventive, but I don't think it's that bad.

Boo! Cell phone monster.

Monster-ola?
Kill-ocera?
Deathberry?

I could do this all day.
This is dedicated to everyone who's cell has ever grown tentacles and bit off a finger.

The Escape

What's new:

• (what I think is) much better set design.
• a plot with a little more meaning.
• a catchy British tune.

I'm sorry to say that this may be my last short for a while. What I'll be posting on here from now on will be more on the non-animated side.

Now sit back, relax, and (hopefully) enjoy.

The Escape takes place in a city, or world, rather, whose political, economic, and environmental problems share a few similarities with those of our own world (haha maybe I'm trying to make a statement). Set to "Australia" by The Shins, in this short, a young cubicle worker (nameless) figures out that getting away from this polluted, corrupted world is easier than it looks. For him, something as simple as love can provide the escape.

Watch Your Mouth/ Old Sketches

Frighteningly enough, this guys face (right) was pictured in my head for a day before I figured I might as well put it on paper. Whimsical, pointless, and much more cartoony than what'd I'd normally do, this is called Watch Your Mouth.




Also, I just recently took a gander into the first few pages of my sketchbook, so as a bonus, I'll post a few old sketches as well.
