Some funny cat doodles...

Yeah...I said doodle...so what?

Good tool for anylizing walks...

I remember often thinking to myself when animating walks, "Why do males and females walk differently?" Yeah, I know it has to do with anatomy. But there were so many different variables there. And sometimes guys walk seemingly like girls or girls walk like guys.

Here's a really cool online tool I'm definetly going to use as reference next time I have to animate a walk:

One of the coolest videos I've ever seen....

It's amazing how almost anything in the world can become hypnotic if you slow it down to 80 fps.

Here's some more drawings...

I recently sent these to my friend Dave Woodson who lives in up state New York. He has a zine he puts out every so often and asked me for some sketches.

Soviet Propoganda Posters...

An incredible collection of soviet propoganda posters. I've just discovered Flickr recently and found it to be an awesome resource. This link is a good place to start!

Two posts in one day!??!

One of the coolest things I've seen in a while. Stitched quicktime panoramas. I've seen stuff like this before used for movie promotion and stuff. But never for real world events like Katrina or the war in Iraq. Check it out:

Through the rough patch...

Yeah...it's been tough this semester. But I made it through. My last day was Friday, and things went pretty well. My head drawgin teacher was never really satisfied with my drawings, but I'm going to post them here all the same! I think I've figured out how to post video, so as soon as I can get my animation done I'll put it up here...

Don't hate me cause I'm busy!

Finals, moving, working...I'm one busy person right now! I'm going to post more things soon. But I thought I would throw up a post cause it's 12:30 am and I'm officially 28! Horray!

John K has his own blog!

Another head drawing....

Here's another head drawing I did for class. I've got a lot of animation and storyboarding work ta do and no time to work on it cause of my apartment and to move. Well, coffee has helped me out before....

Here's some head drawings I did in class. The one of the old man is unfinished. I think they toned paper technique is pretty fun...but I need to stop making my people look like they just ran through an electrical windstorm...ah well...

My cat is adorable...

So deal with it...

Dreamworks ramping up for hiring binge?

That's right all you 3d people out there. Get you reels and portfolios ready.

Check it out...

School and life and...uh...where's the weekend?

Yeah so things have been kinda nuts over here in San Fran. The special lady friend should be out here any day and I'm trying to find a place for us to live. In addition school just started (yes I have homework already) and I'm putting in extra hours at the job.

All this and I still have enough sanity to do an in-class drawing...probably one of my better head drawings...looks a little melony in the noggin, but I think it LOOKS more solid that a lot of my other charcoal drawings...

Oh...I posted some sketchbook pages over at concpet art too...here's the link.

more later ;)

Probably the most important post I'll ever make...

http://www.the-underdogs.org/

For those of you unfamiliar with this site, it's a post of all the games that are the creme de la creme...and out of print. So, you loved playing System Shock or Captin Goodnight and wanna have another crack at it.

They got 'em all. And most of them can be downloaded for free via BitTorrent.

Go and be merry.

If anywaon knows of any free hosing for movies, please let me know
