Geek Love

Geek Love, originally uploaded by Qathi.

I've been reading Geek Love by Katherine Dunn for my PNW Lit class.

I made this character drawing for an animation class--the first part of the assignment was to draw a graphic character, I don't know what we'll be doing with our character yet.

I should have made hers pregnant, because that's how my mind works - maybe I'll do that in animation class. Blooooorp.

I have been doing a lot of reading and writing so far this semester, very little artwork has been generated so far, only a little bitty bit when I'm procrastinating.

this is taking forever

The only problem I have with this is that the proposed plan for my senior year drops me below full time - I'm unclear and kind of worried about how that will effect my financial aid.

Skylight in situ proposal presentation material

This is a moc-up for a presentation for my Animated Art for installation class.  If I had heaps of money and access granted by the city I'd install a skylight in places that could stand to have some illusion of sunshine and blue skies. This piece is designed to be looped and is intended to be projected up onto the underside of an overpass. I have intended to retain the rough stop motion qualities so that it maintains an innocent naiveté that juxtaposes the placement of the piece and the technology required to display it.

The animation was made with gouache on watercolor paper and craft stuffing (bear guts) in iStopmotion and monkied with in Final Cut; the still image was captured with my HTC EVO 4G, edited as a mask in Photoshop; the two pieces were assembled with After Effects.  After Effects and I have had a hurky-jerky start, I'm feeling pretty accomplished with this LOL though I know it's a one of the first baby steps.
