Action Analysis
to Music!

'All You Need Is Love'

 

I wanted to Animate to a piece of music for my Action Analysis piece, bringing some of the development I did during a summer painting/cinematography class to the table. After weeks of working and reworking the story to fit the parameters of the assignment I chose to go with this.
A Hippy peacefully protests the destruction of a local theatre, an important landmark to the community and prime real-estate for development.
I'm having a great time exploring demolition vehicles and I feel like i'm playing with yellow trucks and bulldozers like an 8 year old again.

Playing With Ink

Tim McCormack is coaching us to life-draw for animation, I'm having a lot of fun experimenting but at the same time understand the importance and role that draftsmanship plays in a solid drawing.

I've fallen in love with Henrich Kley's Ink drawing, his political illustrations are so vibrant but informed, his scribbles are clear and masterful and his content is diverse, riske, and hilarious.

We're going to the Winter Fair this week and I'm excited to bring out some ink and coloured pencil, with a $1.50 construction paper sketch pad and a printer paper full clipboards!
Media's so fun, it's a great change from the last two years I neglected it falling into the col-erase and guouche caverns, let the rivers of colour run rainbows!

Summer Thesis beginings

    I love Music! I've just started plucking around on my dusty guitar again and jamming with friends. I've finally started going to shows again and thought I'd make a goal to go to and draw at as many music festivals as I can this summer. I've already had the fortune of seeing bloc party, Zues, Hayden, Feist and Broken Social Scene play You forgot it In the people start to finish at Arts and Crafts 10 year anniversary.
     Saw some amazing Guelph talent "the Medicine Hat" rock the stage at their Old Bones album release show at Hamilton's Art Crawl.
     I'll have to catch NXNE next year! I really want to see ReignWolf!

     Saw my friend Marnie play her bassoon with her orchestra to John Williams music (Jaws, Starwars, Indiana Jones=da bomb).


And in a couple weeks I'll be at the epitome of environmentalism, music, art, celebration...HILLSIDE.

My summer thesis is based on the viewers experience at a music festival. What follows are the scraps from a neglected online painting course and the beginnings of my thesis, drawing something I'm finally passionate about and love to experience research and talk about.
