♥ Wild Children: This was produced for the most part at one of our now monthly Arty weekends - my friends are so talented! This is an amazing story written (in about an hour, if you can believe it) and narrated by Rebecca McKinnon, with stop-motion animation and voice help by Sian Lewis, and sound design and voice help by Daniel Diaz Brauch. And one voice by me, hehe (〃￣ω￣〃ゞ
♥ The Post-It War: Window art made with Post-Its! This reminds me of being in college, when I worked at a newspaper with another artist friend of mine, Chris McAlister (check out his portfolio... I promise you won't be disappointed, he's incredibly talented!) We decorated our shared cubicle with tons of Post-It scribbles, although nothing like this. Makes me want to give some window art a try.
♥ And some music...since David's been playing Ocarina of Time lately, I've been listening to this piano/violin medley of Zelda songs while I work. Give it a listen even if you're not familiar with Zelda, it's absolutely beautiful:
Look for another Wednesday WIWT this week, and possibly a final on Friday!
This contest is very important to me - the Harry Potter Alliance does a lot of good work for important causes like this. And my work could potentially be seen by some truly awesome people, including Evanna Lynch, Harry and the Potters, Jason Alexander, and John and Hank Green...
♥ Last week I received a gorgeous Artist Andrea Little Mermaid Eco Tote in the mail, from a giveaway through Art School Grad, an amazing Etsy team that I belong to. I love mermaids (I used to be really into them and have a small collection), and I've recently started using tote bags for summer rather than a purse, so this giveaway was perfect timing! Andrea does beautiful work; you can see more here at www.artistandrea.com, or at her Etsy shop. Thank you to Andrea for the tote, and to Allie from Art School Grad for putting together the giveaway :)
♥ The What I Wore Today Drawings group is putting out a book! So exciting, I love What I Wore Today and can't wait to get my hands on a copy... I'm thrilled that one of my drawings was selected to be in it:
What I Wore Today 5/30
♥ And I'm sure this is old news to anyone who is already a Björk fan, but I'm getting all worked up by her newest project, Biophilia. A couple of songs have been released already and I've been listening to Crystalline on repeat. I love the end.
it's just a quick sketch i whipped up today; i had another, bigger idea for this week's theme, but it involves too many things i am not yet comfortable enough with. exaggerated perspective, landscape, a big muscly man... no chance of finishing it by tonight!
