Am I excited or what? Yes, I know - or what.....

Love the gadget:

Exhibition in Manassas

Fractal Art opened at the Center for the Arts in Manassas, Virginia. Judy Townsend and myself have a joint exhibition in the old Candy Factory - a big white walled and hard wood floored building. Very nice and roomy. The work was given plenty of space to breath and there was enough distance along the length of the gallery to see my two largest quilts in proportion.

The exhibition ends on October 30th 2009. Go visit and then walk around Historic Old Town Manassas. Lots of little shops and far too many restaurants! The train runs right through town - reminds me of England.

FlipBook

Since learning the principles of animation at Animation Mentor I have been curious about 2D animation. We were encouraged to use FlipBook to do rough pencil sketches and storyboards. It is also excellent for 2d animation work.

I am experimenting with the software and learning how to use it. Here is my first pencil test: A jumping pencil line -

Hick

Am part of a team working on the short film 'Hick' which is directed and produced by one of the alumni at Animation Mentor, Jess Herman. The nice part is being with people I know from school. And I get to ANIMATE. Been a while.

And I definitely want to see Tron 2: The Legacy. After all the original Tron is what got me into this animation stuff in the first place.

Using Windows Live Writer

Love playing with new software. Windows Live is offering some interesting goodies including the ability to post to your blog locally. Am curious as to how much I will use this and any of the other software on offer.
