Hey all!

Just noticed I haven't posted a journal entry in 2 years! Thought I'd better let the 1 and a half people out there that might read this know that I'm still alive and kickin!

Uni has been and gone for me now and I can finally say I am a qualified animator, however I still have much to learn! In the time away I have been very busy on quite a lot of things, namely my short film 'Against the Grain' which I worked on with another student Chris O'Keefe. It took us around 8 months and about 2000 hours to create our 3 and a half minute mini epic, but it was well worth it! The project taught me SOOO many things about creating a short film not only on a technical level, but on a social and emotional level as well. I am super proud of how it turned out and going in to uni from the beginning, I never expected we could achieve what we did.

To top it all off our film was accepted into the Melbourne International Animation Festival and will be showing this Sunday! Here's a link with the program. (We're down near the bottom of the list)

Unfortunately at the moment we can't post up our film on the internet until we are done showing it in festivals, but sit tight and you may see it soon.

Soooo, now that I'm no longer neck-deep in uni assessments I want to get a little more active on my deviant posting. You may have even already noticed I've starting chucking some work up again. WOO! I do have another project on the go at the moment as well but I can't really post much until we get closer to finishing. What I can say is it's an iPhone game, and it's been damn fun to work on. Especially coz I get to do all of the art for it!

Anyways... I've spent quite a lot of time working in 3D so i'm pretty eager to get going on some 2D cartoony stuff! Anyone got some suggestions to get the ball rolling maybe?

That's great to hear mang, you have become so much more talented because of Uni. You're work has always been great, but now it's fucking great! So I'm really keen to see what else you churn out these days!

I think it'd be cool to see you do some cartoony monster/creatures.. Maybve even try and go a little more detailed, or you should try and invent your own character that you could use over again. Like just imagine that you have to do a character concept for a comic book, see what you can come up with.. Like a Cole MacGrath kind of dude or a kickass chick or something..

I'm about to try and re-create my Darkness Within character AGAIN.. I've just come across a few new ideas.. Can't wait to see what you do mate. And by the way I'm hell keen to catch up with you guys, ever since Brent mentioned that reunite thing I just want to catch up. I might even make a trip up soon with Allira just to hang with you c@nts ;)

Yeah I think i'll just kinda go wild and see what I come up with. Have had the drawing bug a bit lately so hopefully it sticks around haha. That'd be rad catching up with you guys! Should definitely do another trip! Maybe I could try a darkness within inspired pic... if thats cool? It certainly won't be of the same epic calibre as yours but still, might be interesting...

Yeah man that would be awesome! I'd love to see your take on my character :D Hey and just a heads up if you do.. Instead of his tatts I'm changing it do glowing veins ;) All over his body and up his face ;) Have fun!
