Artivive initial play

Oh boy, do I like this app. I like that it makes my regular notebook into a magic moving and singing notebook. Here are three things I threw together so fast. So, luckily, I had this video ready to go and the three iterations were perfect for layering fun. Tomorrow after LoFi printing I amContinue reading “Artivive initial play”

Ludwig is reading to Drake im going to be sick

Made a reel for Instagram last night inspired by one I saw. Not much to say about this one but I did push some boundaries – namely – I created a false handheld camera shake by making more art than necessary and screen recording a short two frame animation of me zooming in on itContinue reading “Ludwig is reading to Drake im going to be sick”

Eyo how the fuck does Quentin Blake do this

I translated an image I’ve had in my head to ink and paper, and as someone who is absolutely anal about expression, I found it VERY unforgiving but VERY fun. I like the sketches as much as the final. This is a difficult one. I have a lot of thoughts about it and am pulledContinue reading “Eyo how the fuck does Quentin Blake do this”

The Talent Show Committee

Played with effects and spacing and overlays to create a scene. Really enjoying my simple, expressive, doodly style and not feeling bad about it. Who could that be in the right there?… They look awfully cocky. EDIT. I took the pose and worked it up into something that looks good, for proving that I canContinue reading “The Talent Show Committee”

Talent Show!

In-universe, I’ve recently let myself think about the big Christmas Talent Show that the university is holding. Mitzi is in the University Campus cafe/canteen when a group of seven or eight people sit down at a big table next to her. She eavesdrops and it becomes apparent that they’re this year’s Talent Show committee. SheContinue reading “Talent Show!”

Drake on the Docks – Play

ORIGINALLY I was going to talk about the work and then show it, but I have talked for a long time, so watch it now and then read. After the crit yesterday I was inspired to go and markmake. Read on, because this is probably the most interesting work I’ve made in a while. I’veContinue reading “Drake on the Docks – Play”

Work Play Work – Crit

I thought the crit was really interesting. I thought it lacked criticism and discussion somewhat, and could really have done with more structure and thought given to how much time each student was allocated. Because just like each crit in first year, the first few students get to talk for about twenty minutes each withContinue reading “Work Play Work – Crit”

Pottery classes!

I have to mention in passing that my Wednesday afternoons are currently pottery classes. I’m learning at Gagliano pottery and the classes were a 21st birthday present. I’ve always loved the physicality and functionality of mugs, and making 3D things out of clay. The physical skill and process is pleasant, although I still want toContinue reading “Pottery classes!”

Yes, the horrors are indescribable,

But you’ve got to serve. This meme suits Mitzi down to a T. Drawing something nice and simple and fun has reminded me that I can actually still draw.

Lo-Fi Printmaking: Monoprints

Below, in no particular order, are the drawing exercises we completed (blind drawing and partial peek drawing) and the monoprints that were inspired by the lines and shapes within them.
