Here's scene 5 of my thesis, completed! I'll be working like a motherfucker all week to finish next wednesday, so I just wanted to give a sneak peek before I drop off the face of the planet for seven days.

see you on the 23rd!

These two are about me as a kid. I was a pretty dumb kid. I wonder if my mom remembers these? Both times ended with me going to the hospital to see my good ol' dad and have my finger soaked in iodine for a half hour and then put in a finger splint. When I burned my finger I got away without having to do any school work for a week since it was my right hand finger. The other one was my left finger and it was just cool to show off to kids in class. The second time I probably should have had stitches but I probably would have screamed bloody murder for my father not to do it. ==theballs==

	I'm sorry, but i love moustaches. They are totally the coolest facial feature any male can have. I swear to god, if i were a man, I'd grow my moustache out so pimptastic it'd have bling on it. ==theballs==

I just wanted to mention I purchased chrissyfellmeth.com and if you type it in your browser it currently will redirect you to this page. But there will be a real website there soon...!!! Too excited. (thanks to Jorge Garcia for all the help...!!!)

I got bored today, so i started doodling all these faces. My favorite is the dude with the cabbie hat. ==theballs==

Just a little something I'm working on. ==the balls==

I threw this together right before I had to leave work for class today. I enjoy it! Martini glass pinups are so cliche, and yet so awesomely fun to draw! ==theballs==

	Hooray for the pandas! I do love angry bear, he is by far my favorite. I like drawing him all fat and gushy.
	aaaand I got bored for a minute and drew this. Something about drawing bored people is always cool, i like smooshing faces. ==theballs==

I decided today was a good day to draw some cartoony looking chicks, so I came up with this girl in a hot minute. I like her, she's cute. Also, just as a side note, I'm looking to make, well, a REAL website,... you know, like, thegr8void.com or something. But my problem is I have no knowledge of how to go about this, so if you or anyone you know knows how, please drop me a line. ==theballs==

My mom and I have been exploiting the best of both our talents and making crazy cakes. You could say we want to be the mother/daughter duo of Ace of Cakes. Anyway, yesterday we put together this Betty Boop Cake for her friend's 50th birthday. It's a dark chocolate layer cake with chocolate ganache icing. I made the Betty out of marzipan. She looked great but fell apart a little bit during her transport.

A few months back we made this 50's malt shop for another friend's 50th birthday. That one came out great. The countertop is vanilla cake with buttercream icing and fondant on top of it. The barstools are fondant and the floor is checker boarded dark and white chocolate. I made the 50's girl out of fondant, as well as the milkshakes lined up on the bar. The Jukebox is a fondant-covered rice krispies treat.

==theballs==

I drew this for this week's Art Jumble theme. Nothing too exciting... ==theballs==

	I've seen a lot of bears today. It made me think "what the fuck i never draw bears" so i drew this one. I think he's cute. Then I started thinking about that whole "keep on truckin'" drawing and I turned it into that because of the way I drew him walking.
I drew this one too. later. i like him as well. although they are pretty much the same bear. wait, they are the same bear. whatever. ==theballs==

It's Red Hot Riding Hood! hooraay.... for this week's Art Jumble theme. ==theballs==

I drew this for this week's Art Jumble theme. It's a beast! He's part dragon, part cow, and part... rhinoceros? I'm not sure, I just drew it. He's awful cute though! ==theballs==

I drew a stripper today. Hip hop hooray!! ==theballs

This is my submission for this week's Art Jumble theme. Batman! hooray! Also I've decided this is the new format. I can't stand how long the entries end up being. Plus, this looks much neater! ==theballs==

I had a minute so i doodled this. I liked making the funky color blocks!

==theballs==

There's an ExplodingLife update today!!

ExplodingLife.com

check it out!

==theballs==

Whew! I've been busy these past couple of days! At least in the ways of doodling, anyway.

I just did this one this morning during a lull at work. I doodled it on a piece of paper during my monday night class and rather liked the way it came out, so I recreated it. I think it came out better on my paper doodle.

This one I did for my monday night teacher, Dave Levy. He works on Assy Mcgee and I started out drawing a chick but really only liked the butt and legs part, so I just cut out the rest. I call her "Rosy Cheeks".
Then this last one I did for Art Jumble for this week's theme. It's my two favorite boys in the world, Dougie and Butters! They're still just babies and they're so handsome.

==theballs==

Hooraaay doodles! I acutally had time today to draw something other than my thesis and Speed Racer files.

==theballs==

been toiling away on my thesis... hopefully this works! if you don't see the animation above, click it and see what happens.

==theballs==

It's coming up on that time...!
Yeah all my rough animation for my thesis is due next friday. And I just keep throwing more and more scenes in! I lay in bed at night and think to myself "wouldn't it be great if I added this scene or if I did this joke?" And next thing you know I've got 28 scenes and 19 backgrounds. Thank god for repeat backgrounds. These babies take forever! Plus, Flash just can't handle the huge JPG sizes. Flash just wasn't meant for JPGs. I wouldn't have my backgrounds look any other way, though!

This is the most recent background I finished... Today! Yeah I just did it. It's the title screen, too! So consider this like, a sneak peek at the beginning of the film. I think it's up to about 3 1/2 minutes now. I don't want to go much longer than that.

Wish me luck!

==theballs==

Holy CRAP I've been busy. This whole working full time school full time and thesis project full time thing is really killing me. But I'm having a blast being back at work and I'm way excited to see my final thesis project when it's done. Anyway, where was I... Oh yeah, doodles! I have doodles. There's a few from me just dicking around and a few that are layouts for my thesis. Lots of stuff to do! Lots of animating to do by Feb. 14th. Only two more weeks...! wtf am I doing? I'm gonna end up dead by April, I swear. I mean, seriously.

Also if anyone wants to lend a hand with color treatments for my thesis that would be awesome! It's simple stuff and if you've got some spare time to help a sister out it would be badass.

==theballs==

Merry Christmas! I drew this shitty Christmas Bitch! it looks like crap but whatever!

to any and all animators looking to make a quick buck --

a family friend is trying to pitch a cartoon series to networks, but before he pitches it, he wants to create an animatic to go along with the book, etc.

There is only about a minute of animation. He had hired someone prior to talking to me, but was deeply disappointed when deadlines were not met. At the end of it all, he received a partly finished animatic, with several usable backgrounds and character designs, but no finished animation.

He had asked me to do it, but recently i have taken a full time position and i am working on my thesis at the same time. As much as i would love to have a hand in creating a great television series, I just can't at this point in time.

If you or anyone you know might be interested in taking on the project, please contact me immediately! I need help! The job is a paying freelance gig.

Help a sista out!

Today is my first day of work back at AC. I was told to draw hands. i dont see the harm in posting hands, so here's some hands!

==theballs==

Here's some backgrounds with layouts that i've been heartily cranking out this week. I've pumped out a bunch more but they're not as interesting as these. I didn't feel much like bothering to post them since they're pretty boring on their own.

==theballs==

I can't sleep so I drew this. Her one foot is weird but i tried it a million times and it just didn't work out so i gave up. everything else about it i like, though.

==theballs==

I have an internship at augenblick studios now so i suppose that means i will post more on mondays. but this is somewhat preliminary work for my thesis -- i end up just doodling major expressions from my film, trying to get them just perfect before i fully animate it.

==theballs==

Here's the rat design for my thesis. I think this one in particular came out FUCKING AWESOME. I'm gonna use it pretty much as is and just break it up into symbols and whatever for the scene its in.

==theballs==

Here's a preview of my thesis! Some character designs and a screenshot from my animatic. SWEET! Yeah i'm awesome.

==theballs==

i drew this for becky when she left for arizona. She's gonna be a DOCKTORR!
