Home again, Home again...

I have no real excuse for the lack of posts so I'm making up for lost time with lots of pictures! I just haven't really drawn anything post-worthy in a while but hopefully that will change soon.

Valhalla!!!!!

Not quite my usual style but this image was in my head just before I fell asleep 2 nights ago and I was compelled to reproduce it. Along with it was a voice that kept shouting "VALHALLA!!!" over and over again in my semi-conscious brain. I'm no expert on Norse mythology but I guess it's got something to do with war.. and battle... and stuff.

Fall...

My seabus drawing for the day to commemorate the change of seasons. I've always wanted to know what it felt like to jump into a giant pile of leaves....

Bunnies on the Block

Wow... a whole two months without any updates. Things have been pretty insane and I'm glad I finally managed to catch a breather this Labour Day Weekend. The biggest news on the animation front for me had to be, first of all, the Bunnies making the screening list for the Brooklyn-based Animation Block Party, and then taking home the "Best Student Film" award!!! It was such an honour and my thanks go out to the organisers and jury at ABP. Thanks also to the marketing guys at VFS who posted an article about the event on the VFS blog.

Also, Bobble & Sqweek and the Bunnies both made it into Stash 47 thanks to the awesome guys at Channel Frederator - yet another high point of the last 2 months!

More updates to come soon (I promise!!!)

Summer Cleaning

With the weather finally warming up, I think I'm starting to awaken from my winter coma.. right in time for the summer solstice! So I've been scrubbing, cleaning, organising and I found these videos which upon re-watching, didn't make me cringe so I thought I'd share them.



This was made for my Grand Aunt, Lily Ong, who was diagnosed with lung cancer when I was in the last stages of making "In the Beginning" and passed away the day after I completed it. Because of the tight deadlines and the crazy amount of work I had to do on that film, I never made it back to see her or to attend her funeral so the least I could do at the time was to make a little animated clip for her memorial service. She was born (and also died) in the year of the pig and collected pig figurines and memorabilia obsessively throughout her life. By the time she passed away, she had amassed thousands of those little guys.



And some pixie dust I animated for an FX assignment in VFS.

I'd Like to Thank...

To everyone who voted for Bobble & the Bunnies in the 2nd Annual Channel Frederator Awards, a big THANK YOU from the bottom of my squeaky rabbit infested heart. You know who you are - every last one of you. Without you guys, I wouldn't have these awesome Freds standing guard over me as I sleep .

Kudos to the crew over at Frederator for putting together such a cool episode announcing the results!
