I actually did a bit of work this weekend on my upcoming artistic ideas, but I want to save them up for when I “re-launch” the site. Hopefully I’ll speed up with my plans and get more stuff done sooner.
I did update my stagnating Photography page with some scripted pages. You can either view all the project thumbnails, or you can actually browse through all my photos. I find the latter quite useful.
Listening to my inspirational music is sure helping with my creative mood. I have far too many ideas to implement any time in the near future. At least I’m still working on the initial designs, versus filing them away for future use.
I don’t quite know if I’m going to do piecemeal updates, or wait until I have a huge batch of new creations to show off a once. I think I’m leaning towards the latter.
Regardless, I have a nice little movie to share with you. I found this little bit of animation off of a site I frequent, and hopefully you’ll enjoy it if you haven’t seen it yet. I sure do wish I could create final work like this… but I’d imagine a full animation studio is helpful for those kinds of things.
For the past two weeks or so, I’ve been a bit down on things. Of course this almost always leads to a big desire to be creative again. Being more creative traditionally leads to more content on my site for the masses. Yay for the masses.
So after grabbing a couple of new CD’s for inspiration (the Amelie soundtrack and this cd), I’m ready to start working on my artistic hobbies again. I have plans for a lot more illustration, animation, and full blow stories this time. We’ll see if the creative mood I’m in sticks with me long enough to actually produce something.
I tried to finally make a art/wallpaper design that I’ve had in the back of my head. It didn’t turn out quite as well as I hoped, but at least it should be a good exercise. You can check out Floating Cat vs Airplane by clicking here. If you like it, please let me know.
In other news, I had lunch with my High School friend Julie Cotton whom I haven’t seen in a couple of years. It was nice seeing her again.
We saw Spiderman 2 tonight. Quite an amazing movie, but not in the way I expected. As I was watching, I kept wanting to watch more about Peter Parker’s story more so than Spiderman in action. The Spidey action is great, but the plot and story actually were my favorite parts of the movie. I’d recommend it if you liked the first movie or Spiderman in general.
I hope you didn’t come here looking from content from me. You won’t find any of that here at the moment.
Instead go visit Creatures in My Head. The artist, Andrew Bell, has a drawing of a different creature every day for the past few years. It actually got me to start doing daily drawings. I did 100 pages/days straight, but then grew tired of it. Regardless, as far as the Creatures go, here are some of my faves:
Well for the past two weeks I haven’t taken any photos to speak of. I just haven’t been in the mood and the Arizona summer heat doesn’t help either. Maybe I will, and maybe I won’t get back on the photography bandwagon.
I haven’t been totally uncreative. I did create this little parody to my friend Eric’s site and logo, sonoftwins.com.
We went to the Riparian Institute in Gilbert last Saturday, and I again took the opportunity to take photos. I snapped a couple of Macro photos for this week’s project to boot.
I bought some little Pixelblocks from a local science store and started to create a version of my Floating Cat logo with them. The first batch of blocks didn’t quite complete the project (the tail was unfinished), but with another stop to the store I was able to finish my little transparent sculpture.
Surprisingly, the little blocks themselves made for good photos for this week’s project, Parts.
This week I took a single semi-decent photo for the photo project, and I hope that I will put more effort into future attempts. We’ll have to see…
