11 Second Club Progress

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

So I’m finally getting into this 11 second club thing…

Here is my first hack at the clip. I went a bit goofy with it, but I’ve enjoyed working on it so far.

This clip is just composition and color (no animation). It’s confusing as hell, but I aim to clarify with good animation. I’m hoping to make this a buttery 30 frames per second. So try to picture it as amazing ;)

Picture lots of helicopters and crumbling buildings too… :D

Any thoughts?

Illustrations for Critical Thinking

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

In the coming semester I will be working on a series of illustrations/cartoons possibly appearing in the next version of a book called Asking the Right Questions. It is quite an interesting book- written by one of my professors: Dr. M. Neil Browne.

The following sketches are based on subject matter within the book.

1) Sponge Learning vs. Panning for Gold Learning
