Haven't posted in a while...  Been busy with Thesis [see Healing of Snow].  These are from my Perspective class with Dan Hansen.  From one-point to two, our themes have ranged from mice getting into bed, and a person on a wheel-less skateboard with a robot and hard drive.  I created this character after reading Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash; she rules the cyberpunk air with her stainless steel courier board.  More to come soon~ XD

Colette Fu joined CalArts Experimental Animation for 6 classes in a 2 week span.  We learned the basics of pop-up book engineering, and for the next week or more, were to optionally create something based on what we learned  [see HERE for a scene from my upcoming MFA Thesis, Healing of Snow].  Below is a pull-tab mechanism [the arm / hand waves!]:

Back at CalArts as an MFA2, and already it's whizzing by like an unstoppable time stream.  Lots of things happened in the Summer, and lots of things are happening now.  What's been on my mind?  THESIS x 1000.  These was a story I came up with the help of a classmate, drawing from two brown bags:  BIRDS and FLYING MACHINE.  My concepts:

NEVERLAND X

A tee design that never got printed.  Was fun to draw.  Wrist hurt like crap afterwards though, after 2 hours of rendering.

Haven't been back to the country my dad was born and raised in, for 10 years...  3 days in Sao Paulo; 5 in Salvador, Bahia; and 5 days back in Sao Paulo; 2 days of travel.

Saw so many things.  Saw my grandparents again.  :]  Took over 3,000 pix~

[POSTING SOON!!!]

POST-Brazil~  In FIFA-mode~

My dad's friend painted us something on porcelain and fired it.

This rose was dying before we left, and when we came back it still lives!  ...Poor thing, though.  It's dying slowly...
