Experimentation with animation, drawing and Software programs

Lately I've taken a great interest in 2D and 3D software, as well as fun iPhone apps. Here are some kooky and someimes even cool results:



The top one is an attempt to animate a painting using only iPhone apps. The second is a roto of the brady bunch opening, using After Effects. And the third is an attempt to make one of my Poser characters talk.

Wow, these tools are fun. Maya is a bit intimidating, but I'm going to try it soon.

Knitting, Tinking, and crocheting, if one must. Yummy cold climates.

What the hell is that stupid phrase? Idol hands are the devil's workshop?
Maybe.
I need something to do with my hands, especially since I've quit smoking. I know, it's been a while since I've quit, but I am just one fidgety person. I need things to do.

So when it's cold, I knit. OH, and I have dogs.
Bugga.

So pics or it didn't happen, right?

Here ya go.
One of them is just a bit tooo too. I know. :)









New Town, New Blog, New Life

So much has happened since my last blog. I got sick, but then I got better. I gained 20 lbs, and I needed at least 10 lbs, but wow, do I have conflicted feelings about the other 10.
I've moved to a cooler climate, and smaller city, and that makes life soooooo much better. I have to be honest; I hate LA. Not all LAer's, mind you, but LA as a city, is impossible to enjoy, unless you enjoys cars, which I ABSOLUTELY do not.
Seattle is an incredible town, and the weather has been fucking great.

Come on, Say it with me:
I LOVE SEASONS

Not LA seasons, as in Fire season, Flood season, Drought season, Wind season and Earthquake season (and on that last one, yes I know, WTF?@!, but leave it to LAers to think a Geophysical phenomenon is seasonal.)

REAL seasons. With a bit of snow, and sunshine, and rain, and warmth. With fall foliage, and time for getting fat (which I have taken seriously) and fit (which I promise, I will take seriously)

Seattle, here I am.


Here is my wishlist:

I wish for good health for me and all of those around and dear to me.
I wish to make a REALLY COOL animated video, or ten, within the next year.
I wish to have an insanely good summer...

And if all goes well, I will:
TRULY understand Galois Theory, at some point in the near future.
Ride my first one day double century (the STP).
