Good Friday
Good Friday...
I have not posted in a while. It has been an hectic month. I had oral surgery to remove some heavily impacted wisdom teeth that put me out of "evening work" condition for a couple weeks. Also, Powerhouse is working on a very large project with some tight deadlines that has required a lot of overtime. When I have time outside of work I usually hit the gym or a Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, Boxing or other class to release some steam. Since this blog is mainly about projects that I work on outside of the day job, and there has not been a lot of "outside of the day job"...there has not been a lot to say.
It looks like things are winding down though, and there are some exciting things in the works for Captain Capitalism and other projects too...
- Naked Lunch
One of my resolutions this year was to try to start a figure drawing class just for animators, here in Austin. I have been talking with the folks at Artseen Alliance, next to Spider House Coffee and trying to work it all out, and I think it is about to become a reality. Figure drawing in Austin has been difficult to come by. There are a lot of artists so classes fill up fast, and then concentrate on long-poses for rendered drawing and paintings. Animators need gestures and short poses. It looks like the class will start up at the end of May. If you are in the Austin area and interested in animation, coffe, and drawing the human form... shoot me an e-mail. To give credit, I learned about the venue at the last Dr. Sketchy...which if you like figure drawing you should definately check out. I had a lot of fun, but was suprised how incredibly rusty I have become. You can never get enough figure drawing.
-Captain Capitalism sculptures
Tomorrow night I am meeting with Mike Petryszak, live and in person. Mike is the artist currently working on my Captain Capitalism bank/resin/vinyl figurine that I hope to sell through an ad on the end of the next cartoon. He is supposed to bring the lastest sculpt. I will post some pictures.
-Culture Clubbing
I need to bite the bullet and get back to work on this short. I write things that are too long. Maybe it is the unrequited undergraduate English major in me, or that I want to make 7 minute shorts like my heroes. I would like to release this one by the end of May. There has not been a lot of movement on this, this month, so I have a lot of work to do. I need to start writing 1-2 minute pieces.
-Political Cartoonists, (who do also do animation), Super Friends
I have been talking to another animator who does editorial cartoon type animation, and great work. We are discussing finding a few other animators who do politically based work and starting a youtube channel through a larger distributor. I think this would be a blast, and we started talking as a recommendation from all around mensch, Aaron Simpson, guru of Cold-Hard Flash.
-G.O.D. and Hamlet
I continue to dabble with a 7-minute version of Hamlet short and a short that is VERY loosely based on Bruce Lee's Game of Death. These projects let me be a little more arty. Like a stinkin hippie. I will post some developmental work from them some day soon.
Hope everyone has a good Easter.
