summertimes

old excuse: super busy, no time to blog. This summer, I've managed to stay away from the computer so far, building practical sets at hornet with my pal cannie and the old skool sluzka crew, and at pandapanther with my friends junko, janet, julia, kazu, shinya, sara, and akiko.
i finally have a little free time to get back to sid the killer, and maybe... enjoy the summer?
I've been trying to catch up on all the sweet internet i've missed, and there's a lot of great animation going on out there.
anyways,
here are some drawings from the past month or so. I

all in progress

hi, i have been working on an illustration for steve thomas sports art incorporated. below you can see the progress and revisions. it is about 98% done i hope. an unfortunate part about commisioned work is that you are not the one deciding what to draw. the fortunate part is the moneys!

(the sudden change from tiger to elephant was because alabama won, instead of lsu. )

ok, back to the drawing and stuff

here are some of my watercolors from the past couple months:

also have been doing rough animation for sid the killer! i'm going to try and have a rough version out before new years, eek.

mit museum

the MIT museum in boston is awesome! all kinds of neat robots and stuff, including a lot of sculptures by arthur ganson, creator of "Toobers and Zots!" at one part of the museum, there was a wall with pictures posted in answer to the question: "hey kids, what kind of robot would you like to see MIT build next?"

These are a few of my favorite responses:
