11 Second Club entry

This is my entry for March 2012. It took me approximately 60 hours to complete! In other words, I need to get quicker lol. If I did have more time there are several things I would change or improve, but these are lessons learned for the future.

This is just a sample image from the new acting piece that I am working on. I have 17 days left to complete this piece in order to enter it into this months 11second club competition. I will be posting a WIP later tonight.

New Blog!

I can't believe I only just discovered the possibility of creating a free online blogging space that updates your posts for you, organizes them and can embed video and images as well! This will be my new home for all of my future blogging. Most of my posts will be concerning animation and my daily, or weekly, progress. You will find links to my work as well as documentaries of experiences I have within the industry. I can't wait to get blogging!
