So Red Nose Studio (Chris Sickels) had a gallery showing at my school

This was the Thursday before last. It was great. The gallery opened at 5:30 or so and he did an hour long talk later that night. I always love when Professional artists visit my school and give talks, it's always informative. He shared its and bits about his process, jobs he turned down to reach his goals, and the evolution of his artwork/style. You can view his website at : http://rednosestudio.com/
During the opening and speech I took some photos so I'm just going to share a few of my favorites, yo.
I mostly wanted to just capture the "feel" of the gallery and talk. Enjoy.

Oof, an update

Sorry about the last two weeks, I haven't really had anything I specifically wanted to share. I've been meaning to convert some motion tests and "studies" from Animation Basics I. Right now we're story boarding and drawing up ideas for our final project. Been doing multiple things in my Phobias & Obsessions class, going back and redoing a project. Have a lot of sketch book drawings from my Natural History drawing class. I'll probably share the more finished pieces from that class toward the end of the semester. My book illustration class we've mostly been doing out concepts, and I honestly need to haul some ass in that class, but when I get it together I'll be sharing that. I've been busier with school that I expected at the beginning of the year, but I'm just dying to take a break and do my own work, get out my own ideas. I just feel bad whenever I put my own work first before school since I AM paying money for school.

Fear of Pee-Wee Herman from my phobia's class.


From my Natural History class. We had to take an article about weeds, & design the page with an illustration we did from our sketchbook.


Just a couple pages from my personal sketch book of some ladies and butts. I would post more from my sketchbook but I sort of plan on going back through it and making a lot of finishes from stuff I jotted down and drew. If I don't finalize anything by, I don't know, the end of the semester/school year I'll just post it on here. I don't know... should I post that stuff anyway or just wait till I've made finished pieces? I'll be starting a new sketchbook soon too.
