Animation?

In our 114 animation class we were given the assignment to complete a walk animation. It had to be at least two steps and have character. My character is running from danger, across some river stones. I do not consider myself an animator but I am really starting to enjoy the process. Who knows maybe i'll change my mind.

Nature!

These are the nature studies I completed in preparation for my intermediate project. The great part about doing these small studies, was not only The paint mileage but I also found myself falling in love with nature. The top is an acorn, then a twig from an oak tree,and the last is from an unknown tree outside of the art building.

San Jose Chalk Fest!

The very talented Jessi Enguerra and I completed this chalk piece for a local San Jose Chalk festival. I had such a great time. It was both our first time with the medium, also to use it on the sidewalk and at a large scale (8'X8'). The piece took us around 10 hours and I think it fares well. As you can see we did this for our place of employment, Trader Joe's. We are both sign artist at the greatest store ever #212 San Jose on Coleman ave.

Arcade + Gunin

A good friend of mine and fellow SHM Tim Tang, and I completed this piece together (the painting in between the both of us) over the summer. It was such a great experience not only in painting and composition but also in teamwork. Working with someone else and complete a single creation that stays true to both of our visions was an awesome learning experience. If you would like to take a look at Tim's blog there is a link on the right. Enjoy. As soon as I get a scan of the painting you will see it here.

Sub-Zero

Some fellow SHM peeps and I attended the Sub-Zero fest this last june. Pictured in order Tim Tang, two yellow girls, Myself, Kristina Wayte, a hairy man, two more people and Jerome Hardcore.(You can find links to there blogs on the right) We saw a tone of rad art and people. Also had a chance to get some sketching done. The local magazine "Content" caught us and posted us on there site. The Magazine has alot of great info on our city of San Jose, the culture, events and people. Check it out here http://content-magazine.com/

Color Rendering

Here is my final fro 113A with Cameron Chun. I started with a limited neutralized palette but added some colors in attempt to get a certain feel. I really wanted it to feel dirty and grungy, I am pretty happy with my process though not completely happy with the outcome. I am going to work on it some more over the summer to fix some areas especially the shapes in the fat. I want to sent it to Sir Chuck himself so it must be perfect I gained so much knowledge about color and lighting and it totally pumped me up for painting over the summer! Just paint!

Finished My Black and white acrylic rendering for 113A. I learned so much from this painting and I feel really good being that it was my first time really using acrylic paint. Really putting the time into such work really pays off, not only in the actual work but personally. After this painting I really feel ready for the demand of the SJSU A/I program!
