KIrby's Sock Complete!

It's finally finished. I'm at a loss for words about the project. It's time for the work to speak for itself.

300th Post

I was looking at my blogger dashboard and realized this is my official 300th post. That sounds like a lot of blogging to me. When I first started out I was not into the idea of blogging at all. I just thought it would be a good way for folks to keep up with me on my cross country trip. Now, it's still a great way for folks to keep up, not just with my cycling adventures, but also with my "artistic" and life endeavors as well. Anyway back to the post:

WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING INSTEAD OF WORKING ON KIRBY:

Kirby is at a stand still for whatever reason, mostly mental for me, I guess. So, I've come up with other projects to fill my free time. Here's one, I just finished this illustration for Community Cycling Center. They're a local not for profit bicycle shop, that not only has a great helpful staff, but also a ton of outreach programs for youth, people of low income, and the bike novice looking for knowledge. The illustration is 4' x 2' and will be used for a teaching tool in the shop. Allie wrote out all the type and helped with the painting.

Waiting For Kirby

for those of you following along, its been a year and two months since I started out on the kirby endeavor. Believe you me, nobody is more ready for this animation to be in the can than I. Rest assured it is nearly complete...

updating pedalmation.

At least one officer was killed in Suez that day.

Protests had been particularly violent in the port city of Suez, 83 miles east of Cairo. On Thursday, Jan. 27, protesters attempted to firebomb a riot police car. Police in turn fired rubber bullets, water cannons, and tear gas at hundreds of demonstrators.(Mohamed Abd El-Ghany/Reuters)

Now that's productive

I'm slack, I know it, you know it, so there, it's out in the open. But if you want to see an animator who is anything but lazy check out Dailymation. It's a great blog by an animator who puts out a new short almost everyday. Very impressive.
