CAT * ASTROPHE

My life summed up in 3 panels.

New Perspective Stuff

Haven't posted for a while.  Not doing so well in the art world--I'm wondering if I'm in the right field....

This piece is a sketch a la Tim Burton--his prom date getting ready in front of a vertical mirror.  Two point perspective, with reflection on the floor [without copying and pasting].  Oh, and she's pulling off her fake flesh for a more fresh corpse look.

Monday, February 28th, my roommate Julie [BFA 3 composer at CalArts] had an Undergraduate recital, and as the opening show, she had my other roommate, Christy Heyob and I paint on paper over a canvas that reflected our subconscious mood on the impromtu musical graphic noted piece titled Air Loom.  A minute excerpt can be heard here [the full piece is around 12 minutes and is never exactly the same].  Awesome job guys~

Composer:  Julie Assaf [Second Photo, Distant Left]
Marimba:  Tony Gennaro [Center]
Flute:  Christine Linza [Left]
Vocals:  Amanda Adrian [Right]
Painters:  Jessica A.M. Chen [aka JACONNI, unfeatured], and Christy Heyob [Second Photo, Right most]

This is sound check:

I painted on the left easel:

My interpretation.  Air sounds like spinning wheels and spokes to me.  I call this Abstract pinwheels:

This is Christy's complete 180 painting.  Full color, swirly, and soft.  I call it Beauty from Hatred.  I told her:  "We should decorate the walls of our place with these!"  She replied,  "You can; I'm going to decorate mine with the garbage."  I now own the painting.  :]

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!]:
