I was getting photo references of dogs and came across this picture...don't they look creepy?!

Will this semster end already? I want it to be over with, but I don't want to do all the work that needs to be done. Thesis has turned into my never ending story...

The layout below is the rough draft that I have been following for all of my paintings and the eventual layout. Some things have to be tweaked in the actual paintings that I haven't changed in the digital versions.

I am also doing an animation for my final in motion graphics which is in conjunction with my thesis. I am animating the panel with all the factories. It should be fun...smog floating upwards...Herb running after the cars.

Sleep is going to be minimal in December.

Some new work from my website, which should be
live around Christmas time. I will let you know when it is up :)

Thesis layout

So, I decided to layout my panels one night at around 2am. This is what I have in mind for how it would look if it were hung on the wall. Plus a work-in-progress shot of the fourth panel.

Bee time

Hey y'all. I have a new illustration to post tonight. It is for an article talking about how many different species of bees are starting to just disappear. One theory about their disappearance is due to pesticides. But some scientists just don't know where they are going. There are no signs. Hmmm....all this information right when The Bee Movie is coming out.

I am trying to get organized with my thesis. I have FOUR more pieces to do. Agh, I am drained already! I am about to order my largest panel, which is probably going to cost an arm and a leg. But, I think in the end it will be worth it. It will be the climactic ending to the narrative.

I opened the most recent letter from my mom to find the enclosed pictures of our dogs in their halloween costumes. I just find them hilarious. Max is a construction worker and Bailey has pearls and a poodle skirt as a 60s girl. It looks like a yamika on Max, but it's his construction hat. Hehe! I thought I would share something that made me happy!
