At any rate ... Otis starts tomorrow and I'm here putting together the last bits of my Senior Thesis! Like always, a end of the summer post with some work done and details:

So pretty much I've spent the last two weeks of my summer booked, working for them on another project... and I can't wait to see it finished! I'm gonna miss working with everyone there when I'm back in school.

^ Brian and Matt

^ Street Fighter King Alex

^ Tuna!

^ Trooper Tavarez

^ Greg

^ Casey, Reza, and Darren

I have way more photos, so I'll post them up later.

Then... Whoa! Is that the bag I made? Yep!

It was for one of my IL class projects: Haiti Bridge! 

It won the Design Ignites Change 2010 Implementation Award! Cool!

p.s. as a kid I used to be so scared of Modok.

So guys, I've been really busy at work here at Jirbo and EpicTilt working on iPhone games, and hopefully before the end of summer, some of the games I've worked on will be up and on sale on iTunes! My good friend Michelle will actually get to see some of her work in the next two weeks. I'm really excited for her! The crew there is awesome, and I'll draw some cartoons of them soooooon.

Anyway, I'm homeward bound to the motherland...Thailand, so I've just been hanging around with some good friends, taking it easy and reading The Animator's Surival Kit, and just watching a lot of fundimental 3D animation tutorials, especially my good professor's Coddington's Gnomon stuff! And, surprisingly I'm all cool with this stuff just soaking in, and it's beginning to make sense :) hopefully I'll get to do some noobish animation ball bounce, character posing and some walk cycle before OTIS: season 3 starts!

Speaking of animation...TRANSFORMERS 2 was AWESOME! Of course I had problems with the story and some of the characters, but the VFX and Animation just blew me away. Hands down for ILM, Digital Domain, Imaginary Forces and all the other companies. This is our future industry guys!

Alright, I hope your summer is going well! LA has finally decided to get all warm and sunny. Oh and RIP Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and Billy Mays.

You know, I'm a big fan of Hitchcock. I found this on Harald Siepermann blog, and by the way, he has some coooool drawings and a pretty interesting interview that concerns European/German influences on animation, cartoons and design.

Anyway:

I'M IN TEXAS...well, New Braunfels to be precise, to visit JD's parents and to have him show me his town.

It was a rough 22 hour drive with some 10 minute breaks now and then--to get gas, spread the legs and switched back and forth with the JD--King of Cruise Control, but man I drove through some dust storm (which I guess wasn't something good to do), saw some crazy cool mountains in Arizona, a coyote in New Mexico, crazy stars and a huge monstrous moon, an awesome sunrise and once I was driving down into the town, a fresh dead dear with two vultures ripping it apart. Man I wish I took a picture of that. But I had SONIC for the first time and it was sweet.


I'll be posting some things and sketches once I get back to the great LA... that means WONDEROUS ANIMATION TUTORIALS!!!! YES!

Oh, here are images from the last day of our Intro to 3D class with the infamous Bobby Coddington and Craig Christian!!:
I love you guys.
