Hipsters in Space

So, this is old, but good.
Commence non-committal dancing! Space hipsters, whatever!



I mostly enjoy that their space ship is a shoe

The Reef Comic

I just got done writing a comic for Timefighters this morning while sitting at Café Vita. It feels good to get work done that isn't school related, but it is also kind of a bummer that I can lump that in with the rest of my procrastinational ceremony. I have the first draft of a research paper and a powerpoint presentation on the subject due Wednesday. I'm relatively screwed when it comes to that, but we'll see what i can do. College is killing me.

Sleep Deprivation

As many of you know, I'm doing a big project/research paper on Sleep Deprivation for class. Now imagine my delight when I found this article while perusing Digg.

It sounds like the research I've been reading lately is finally being brought to light, but now I'm falling behind! What's the next cutting edge?!

Also, Swine Flu. The next Bird Flu scare? I'd actually be more afraid of Swine Flu, they share much more DNA with us than birds, but I'm not going to Texas or Mexico anytime in the near future.

Also, I'm working on a comic about The Reef that will hopefully end up in Timefighters' comic zine

Happy 4/20! Prepare to have your 'mellow' harshed

Happy 4/20 everyone! Can you smell the Hippies?

As a reformed Hippy myself, I have great insight on their world and feel obligated to critique the culture.

What a strange holiday April 20th is. On 4/20 you are supposed to break the law with all of your friends, but as far as I can tell there is no real reason to do it. There is a lot of speculation about where the date's importance comes from, but no one really knows and I don't think anyone really cares. Wikipedia claims that the date and time originated with some high schoolers who would smoke after getting out of detention at 4:20 every day, but I've heard plenty of other ones involving Hitler's birthday and other even more outlandish origins.

Do Hippies really even need an excuse to smoke some grass? No, no they don't. As protest I am making a point of not smoking grass and telling anyone who asks me to that this is a dumb holiday. 4/20 is similar to Christmas and Easter, maybe it meant something to someone at some point, but now its just a reason for misguided idealists to embrace consumerism. While you may not want to hear this, dealing drugs is a business just like the Frito-Lay Corporation, the company that sells Funyuns and other such popular stoner snacks. Way to break the mold, kids.

Scenester, Hipster, Hippy? Some of you may be asking, "Whats the difference?" If I know you, I've probably tried to explain it to you before.

For all of you still confused, Marek Haiduk and Hillel Aron have compiled this handy reference list. Enjoy.

The Graphic Novel/Comic Book

Soon to be published in an anthology for the TESC library, this is the work that the animation was based on. This is the Graphic Novel/Comic Book, "The Ugly Caterpillar"!

Snail Animation

Me and my buddy Charlie made this while we were fiddling around in AfterEffects. He told me I should put it on Youtube so I did. Hope you like the music choice. Laff a little?

The Ugly Caterpillar

This is my final project from last quarter, in case you can't read the title it is called "The Ugly Caterpillar." It is an adaptation of the story, "The Ugly Duckline." It is a puppet animation with loads of fun mats in it. I hope you like it and I will take questions from y'all.

So Much for Spring Break

Well, I know I said I would load up the blog over spring break. This time, it is really coming. I am SERIOUSLY going to be putting everything I've done in the last quarter and a half that I have digital copies of onto this blog. SOON.
