My Days visiting Friends

Visiting some super friends in SoMa and when they're all out to work...

                                                                           Were you expecting me to have crazy parties using their place while they're away at their work? 

C'mon. I'm a very respectful guest :) 
*Not that what's in the story truly happened either - mostly fiction*

Little Flame

Film study

No Country for Old Men (2007) 

Felt like this scene was shown good times in classes. Maybe only twice in reality.

Written, Directed and Edited by the Coen brothers.

In an Alleyway

 To avoid any further weird ideas, here's my inspiration: small chat with MJM. Thanks, Mike!

Awesome Allison!

Yesterday at work...

(That very confused feeling when you were trying to get into reality and believing that the person in front of you was really the Allison who already moved out from LA last year)

 

With that fact of her ability appearing from across the country, seriously, I think Allison Craig is an awesome ninja besides being a fantastic artist/animator and person. She taught me a bunch of Flash tricks and animating stuff at work last summer and a couple years before as well. How super nice, right? Didn't stop there.

This below happened one Monday morning in Summer 2012...

For real! Cupcake Ninja! who delivered the best cupcake ever!! 

Full disclosure: I've never been keen on those from the fancy cupcake shop down the street from the studio so Allison's home-baked cupcake totally was the best. 

Being a super cool person herself, Allison has bunch of super cool animation and adorable art stuff on her blog. Definitely check it out!

And this was my brainstorming/thumbnailing "sheet":

 

Skull Yetis!

Skull Yetis!! Obviously inspired by Skull Monkeys created by Doug Tennapel. My sister and I played that game long time ago on PS1 and we absolutely loved it! The cinematics had great humor and awesome stop-mo animation and look. I got Tennapel to draw an original in my sketchbook at the latest CTN-X.. just because it was my childhood.

I also had my Spring 2013 Story Portfolio up online. 

Adventure in the Himalayas

Tikasaurus was so last year! This Spring's drawing subject is Wereyeti! I had fun drawing these and I hope I can have my own adventure at the Himalayas or any snowy mountain one day!

The idea of wereyeti, that I included in this story instead of a regular yeti, was inspired by Eric Fortune. By the way, Eric only paints absolutely amazingly gorgeous paintings and if you haven't seen them yet, do yourself a favor to check them out.
