Sometimes You Just Can't Stem A Flood

The flood gates have reopened and I can't stop spitting out project ideas that I will soon be working on and killing myself with. Here is a little preview. If you have any ideas that you think would be helpful to me making these things or if you make music (cough...Ben Michaelis...cough) and want to help me with a soundtrack, let me know.

#1:Paint
I have another anti-individualism series. The groundwork is already lain, I might even have help from my roommate, Curt. The series involves painting fruit the same color as a background taking pictures of the work and then painting from that picture. The paintings would be displayed with photos of the process in either the form of a production book or hung on walls.

#2:Page
I really want to write a series of short reinterpretations of Roman myths and/or history. I think this would be a just for fun kind of thing and so is the lowest priority.

#3:Animation
The third idea I've had will probably end up being my final piece for EAT, (Experimental Animation Techniques) the class I am taking this summer. It is an animation of a cutout squid traveling through a progressively more strange and uncomfortable world. Starting out in a tropical ocean wonderland and ending up on the evening news or something ridiculous like that. I think that it'll end up being the most fun out of all of these works. I'm excited.

New Animation

Since I am taking summer classes, I can continue to bombard you with my many animations
This is a paint on glass assignment that I'm rather happy with. Enjoy!

Summer Classes

I decided that to make sure I graduate on time, (I'd have to slack off really hard next year) I'd take summer courses this summer. I'm in the EAT (Experimental Animation Techniques) program, a crash course in experimental animation. I didn't realize this when applying for the class, but I already know just about everything there is to know about most of this stuff. I am happy with the pace of the course though: Our first day (yesterday) we learned about zoetrope strips and were assigned an exquisite corpse. (everyone in the class makes a part of it and then it is strung together afterwards)

This also means I'll be in olympia all damn summer, lets see how this goes. Hopefully I'll have something cool to show when I'm done.
