Skateboard Decks

So here's the deck that I want to do:


And here are the other designs I did for the project:

A Little PSA...

I was just using Blackle a few minutes ago and I just thought of something that I thought all Mac users (because I know there are a few people who actually read this thing that ARE Mac users like me) should be aware of.

OK, if you don't know what Blackle.com is all about, here's the gist of it: it's a search engine with a black interface instead of a white one. The theory is that white uses up more energy than black and thus saves more power. If you're all for saving power and you own a Mac (I don't know if PCs are capable of this but I wouldn't doubt it if they can't because they are so much less cool than Macs. Yeah. I said it. So what?) then you can turn your screen on to "negative mode" which makes your screen look like a film negative and all dark and shtuff. Now, this is crap for watching videos and pictures and stuff but if you're just on Google or Facebook or MS Word or something, just press Command (the Apple key) + Option + Control + 8 and voila! Negative screen.

Sit in the dark and turn it on and off a few times. You'll be amazed at how much LESS light it's using.

OK. That's my PSA. Now on to our regular programming.

The Stalker

Here are some production photos for "The Stalker" - our final project for DMA 144.

Everyone on set learned how to slate and tail-slate.

Set design for something or other

Set design for ... something. I don't remember what I was drawing it for exactly. But it took me several hours. And some of the angles and such still aren't right.

Laura, Do Not Eat These

This is Amanda and I's 6-Shot video for DMA 144 with Igal. It's a story about a girl who just REALLY wants to eat a cookie. I've put it on YouTube. You can go directly to my channel by clicking "My YouTube Channel" under "Random Sites" in the menu on the right.

Panic Disorder Video

A video I did in Grade 11 for P.E. Class about Panic Disorder. It's got pretty good reviews on YouTube. I've added my channel to the "Random Sites" section, if you're interested in other crap I've done for fun.

Ratatouille!

In honor of my favorite Disney/Pixar movie coming out on DVD next week, I decided to draw my two favorite rats: Remy (top) and his brother Emile (bottom).These look REALLY bad as scans. It looks much better in my sketch book because you can see all the details. Unfortunately the scanner didn't pick up on those. Oh well.
