Light & Ideas

My good friend Dylan Jones and I started yesterday on a collaborative project which in the future will manifest itself as a music video (my animation / Dylan's music). We spent about an hour jamming -- Dyl playing, me drawing, and both of us talking in between about the concepts which tie everything together. The theme is "ideas," in particular ideas as represented by the symbol of the lightbulb ("Eureka!" cried Edison). Our protagonist is some sort of inventor/big thinker with a lightbulb shaped head, and some of Dyl's recordings come from the sounds of actual bulbs in action.

A proper place for our project on the web is in the works, updates will follow! In the meantime, enjoy some sketches:

Cake walkin' (animation still)

A still from a very short walk animation that I am scanning into the computer right now. Then editing.

Space God Shrine Animation

I'm making a shrine to my Space Gods, and this is going to be at the center (on repeat on a portable DVD player) with black and white candles and xmas lights surrounding it, amongst other things. It is part of my final for my Core class, so I will definately be posting more pictures later.
