Victorian lady

There's no story behind this character yet, but I think that it would be neat to make an animation that has this look.

She is supposed to be blowing a shofar. If you don't know what a shofar is enlighten yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shofar
I know.. her eyebrow hairs are kinda going in the wrong direction.. but too late now!
This is a character for a comic book idea I've had for a long time, I actually started the comic years ago but didn't get very far because I didn't have a concrete idea of where the plot was going. Now I've finally been given inspiration and along with continuing to write the script for the story I've had fun doing these pieces to get back into the feel of it.

Valentine

I painted the penguin over a year ago and yesterday.. after doing all those lively mixed media pieces of other animals, I looked at him and he seemed lonely... so I made him a friend.

Cal Arts Portfolio

Here is the portfolio I put together to apply for CalArts MFA in experimental animation. I also included a demo reel that has "NAKAMA" on it. All the pieces I included have been posted on this blog so I didn't want to re-upload all of them.
