Show And Tell

Yes, i deserve a slap on the wrist for not updating this blog often enough.
There really has been a lot going on though. I launched my own line of graphic t- shirts and that in itself is worth several blog entries :P
I also joined a painting class. To learn to paint. Oil Painting. And have i learned anything? only reluctantly. I never wanted to join, THEY MADE ME! by they i mean my mother! I guess i should be grateful to her for giving me another thing to blame her for when i recount my life several years from now. The past really does make for interesting stories doesn't it? but i digress. My mother, unlike me, has always loved drawing and painting. As she turned 60 this year, she decided she really ought to learn how to paint properly, hence the painting class. Why me though? Cuz i am the one who drives her around from point A to B *sigh*!

The reason i mention all this is because today is the last day of this dreadful experience and even though i did enjoy it (practically fell in love with palette knives) i dont like the idea of being forced to paint. Yes, i have to finish two paintings before 12 and its 10 am already :S

Maybe tomorrow i will upload some pictures of what i painted and then you can all be besides yourselves with glee :P. This particular entry isnt about my paintings or the t-shirts or the brilliant new haircut i got. Its about the new animation show reel i made and really really want to show off. I made the intro in the aforementioned class (really, anything to avoid a brush and that tedious stroke making *blukh*) and used them lovely LOVELY palette knives to animate.

For now i bid you adieu and start painting. My misery ends today. WHEEEEEEEEE! :D
