Been freelancing for a fashion designer. Here's the cover for her look book. We can't show you any of the designs inside though, because they're confidential until the fashion show :)

A big thank you to Eric and Benoit, the program head and coordinator at the school, and the amazing teachers who taught the master classes. Additional thank yous to the studios, professionals and students who came to inspire.
I am glad to have met you all.

it was awesome.

writing from Paris...

Today begins the second week of summer school here at Gobelins. There are 36 of us, representing (and misrepresenting) 16 different countries. Thus far, it has been an amazing experience, being taught by fantastic teachers and being surrounded by fellow animators that remind me of my classmates back home. From the first day here, we all got along instantly, just like the first day we had at Cap. Even though we are from all parts of the world, it was almost surreal to see us all flipping paper and scribbling with colerase, in pretty much the same way.

Gobelins, Paris, animation, and awesome classmates. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Except that I wish you were all here :)

Special thanks to the Vancouver International Dance Festival for their month of free life drawing and the Harbour Dance Centre for letting me sit in their classes to life draw :)

I couldn't find my car the other day because it was a symbol and the comp was set to the wrong single frame so it wasn't showing up in the lot. Then I woke up. I have finally dreamt in Flash.

Flashimation make me go crazy.

She sat down and drew beside me at the airport the other day.
Her one drawing surpassed the pages of drawings that I had done, because her one drawing had heart.

My friend cut my hair yesterday.
