Mini Portfolio

Hi Everyone, welcome to my blog! Before becoming an animation major, I started my career at SJSU as a Computer Scientist, which regrettably wasn't at all how I had imagined it, and I bombed terribly. School became a place I loathed attending. So, I took a chance at pursuing something I though I'd never have a talent for: Animation and Illustration. I picked up my art board and joined my very first art class. I received an A and thought "I might just make it in this crazy town" and switched majors. Since then I've been doing worlds better and school is a challenge I welcome with every new course. Here's a little bit of what I've done in the past couple of years. And I mean a couple; I never took an any art classes before college, which goes to show just how good SJSU's art program is.

This is a piece from my Art 12 Class, the Second Art class I took, called the Personal Symbol. The medium was black paper cut out and mounted on a white illustration board.




This is the final piece from my Art 122A class last semester. The idea was to do a self portrait with an old saying behind it. Mine was "lookers on see most of the game." This was a reverse drawing and is about 20"x29"

Here are the links to my videos. I couldn't get them to post here, so I uploaded them onto YouTube instead, which seems to work.

This link will take you to my hand drawn final animation from Art 28-Introduction to Animation and Illustration, which I took about a year ago now.

And this link is for my final in Art 51- Animation in Maya, which I took just last semester.

My First Post

This blog is dedicated to Physics in Animation, or as I so affectionately call it Physics 1.2.3. I am so excited for the upcoming semester that I have done the first homework assignment before even the first day of class. Huzzah! May the rest of Fall 2010 go so well. See you in class!
