Merry Christmas Everyone!

Phhhewwww, was the last week manic or what, in total from Monday to Friday 10 hours sleep 3+3+4+0 what a manic week. Still everything out of the way and on to the next bout of assignments things seems to be going according to plan shame Xmas is there to disrupt the flow.
Just spent half an hour designing Xmas cards which will be too late for the last post but never mind, something a bit creative always goes down well. Obviously fairy tales have had a major influence this year.
Right now thats out of the way, 'Drip, splating and boinging', which i've set myself one week for.
As usual will probably make it too complicated but in for a penny in for pound!!!

Facial expressions

Well an interesting night of gurning in front of the mirror, have given myself a complete facial workout. Really useful evening as these sort of expressions will come in handy and will put them in a people library of my own. Just wish my eyebrows were a bit more expressive.

Sketchbook work

I don't seem to be very organised this term and have been busy drawing people at any opportunity, two main places either at work I know naughty, naughty, or on the trains /at the stations have posted a few your purusal. I seem to be drawn to character studies. I should have more dogs, skinny dogs would be better would be able to see how everything is working, perhaps I should feed mine less. I am in need of more life model lessons am going to look into extra ones in the area, can't believe that we have been at uni 11 weeks and had a life model 3 times.

Imagination cubed

Found this nifty little program, the administrator on Skwigly was forwarding, so if you don't want to post a comment draw me one instead have a look the link is at the side you can play it back and it animates it back as if you were drawing it. also if we all give each others msn we can animate at the same time nifty eh!

Modern Comedy

After lessons today, and my inability to find Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny funny, had a bit of think about it and have come to the conclusion that the problem I have with these two is
1. the violence
2. and this is probably the main reason is that one character is always the victim.
3. With Tom and Jerry the format is replicated for every show, Tom and Jerry was a staple of my childhood growing up in the seventies and I used to wish for Tom the cat to just eat the mouse......and be done with it.
Also a major part of my youth was on the side of the underdog and I think this is a very common female trait. So in this case sensitivities ruling my head.

Im going to put links to the offensive but satirical, 'Monkeydust' shown on BBC 3 and also 'Drawn Together', a spoof of Big Brother by American animation company Rough Draft Studios, Inc.
Like to hear your views on how you think comic taste has changed.Parody is the word.
