A Summer Aquatic

So every so often, in the past 3 weeks or so, I had this train of thought find its way into my head:

"I should update my blog. Right after I fill out this paper work. Right after I come back from work. Right after I procrastinate on facebook. Right after I..."

Etc., etc.

But then I realized that I don't really have anything to update! Well, at least in physical art form, with the exception of door tags I made for my summer transfer students (who are wonderful and awesome):



(Marker, colored pencil, micron, gouache. Super multimedia, goodness.)

Originally I hoping to give an original drawing to each of my residents, but that plan quickly went out the window when I was informed that my number of students had doubled to what it originally was, and there was no possible way to make twice as many door tags in a span of 12 hours (at least when considering getting a full night's rest). To Kinko's, away!

Now that things are sort of settling down, I'm hoping to get started on epic plans of epic proportions: comics, paintings, doodles -- oh my!

ALSO: Started my internship at Clambake Animation Studio, which is superb! A little different than what I was expecting. Definitely glad I'm doing illustration like work (as of right now a bit o' character design, which is something right up my alley of interest), but soon I'll be delving into, I think, some sort of animation work, in addition to some things for Adult Swim...

(Insert ooh's and ahh's here.)

And here's another thing: Toy Story 3? If I hadn't held myself together, I would have cried. No, I would have SOBBED. Basically it was wonderful in every way possible, and brings me to my current song obsessions:

But right now it's bed time: I've been running on 4-5 hours of sleep a night for a consecutive few days. You'd think RISD would have made me immune to sleep deprivation...
