my idol...

"You’re doing the one thing you want to do and you do it well, and you know you do it well, and you’re happy. The whole promise is to do the work, sitting down at a drawing table, turning on the radio. And I think, “what a transcendent life this is that I’m doing everything I want to do.”

"...I have adult thoughts in my head, experiences, but I’m never going to talk about them. I’m never going to write about that. Why is my needle stuck in childhood? I don’t know. I don’t know. I guess that’s where my heart is. " -Maurice Sendak

book skeleton

Photobooth dude

   So I work at a retail store that has a photobooth..whenever the guy comes to change out the chemicals he takes a pic of himself to make sure it's working properly...then throws away the pics. And so I naturally snatched them up! (if you know this dude don't tattle on me!) This is just one example that I have manipulated using an xacto knife and a white gel pen...this is my Amelie moment;)

Now I'll share a little dream..

   So I'm obsessed with dreams...I keep a dream journal because I tend to have very epic, surreal dreams. Someday hopefully I'll make some collages or animations from them..For now here's a little sample from my dream journal.

  In order to put yourself, fully into my dream I had months ago you need to listen to this track while you are reading....soundtrack to my dream. It's a reoccurring dream that begins and ends at the same moments every time....

  I'm just a skeleton, but alive...being dragged by my ribcage across a wide, rocky terrain. A giant sloth-like demon is dragging me..gripping my tiny bones with it's large claw. It never turns around, so I never see its face. But it's determined to bring me to it's nest that rests on the edge of a high cliff atop a mountain...The air is very hot and humid. I can feel pain from the sharp thorns and rocks I'm being dragged across..I'm panicky and delirious..and the dream always ends here...

Hiccups

 
So I made a silly little short animation in under 8 hours...
It's very raw and more like a "pencil test" but very Gilliam-esque and very silly. Enjoy:)
