A Rigid Beginning

This last year I returned to school for the first time in nearly three years to study Cinematography in Spain. Towards the end of the year I encountered slight financial difficulties and had to put studying on hold. I made this logo as an intro to a short film I was working on.

The Adventures of Dim: A Mechanical Crusade

Dim is a slightly more developed version of a capacitor.

Him and others alike work as grunts in a factory supplying

short bursts of power where the other robots demand.

When the chief robot decides to downsize the company,

he sends in the big guns to... eliminate the problem.

Dim, reluctantly chosen by the others to take the fall,

faces a giant goliath sized beast. A legend.

To be continued...

As mentioned before, in animation class we were only a handful of students in what was actually an architecture class. Recently I decided to make a model of a house.

More Photoshop

Modeled in 3D Studio Max with ink and paint textures.

A bomb...

The Final Frontiere

I downloaded and installed "Eve" with a 30 day trial. Great game but very complicated. After the 30 days were up, I let it go. I was left with a great urge to make another spacecraft.

Animation: Earlier Works

I actually took an animation class for a total of 10 semesters in High School. The only problem was that there wasn't actually an animation teacher. We were a small group of four to six students who sat in the shadows of an architectual drafting class.

If we had a question, a problem or nothing at all... it didn't matter. Our grade was cemented as an A+ no matter what we accomplished.

Word somehow arrived at our school that there was a statewide competion and that animation/digital visualization was a catagory. Our teacher sent us down to Boise, Idaho to compete.

The competition was to make a comercial for a television company. Accidentally, we won first place in the eight hour competition and a grand prize of 20 dollars to be spent specifically in walmart. We were officially the best highschool level animators in the state... of Idaho.

Once is Enough

Out of the blue I bought a pack of colored pencils in a supermarket. I still have them to this day though this is the only thing I drew.



I did a similar thing with oil paints.

Sorting Through Rubbish

After seeing a cardboard and chalk art display in Barcelona, I decided to try my own luck at it.

My flatmates thought they were nice things to put on otherwise empty walls but apart from that they were still just cardboard. Shortly after that however, my girlfriend was throwing away a dsl modem of which I made the following.

"Kites and Capacitors"

Photographs to Photoshop

In one art class they explained to us not to look at lines and to concentrate on the light and dark areas. With the picture as the base layer, I simply highlighted the darker areas and colored them in black.
Once all the dark parts were black I used the original picture to do the shading.

I made this one for a group of friends who were in a local band called "Paper Plane"

On the subject, I also made a music video for them with an old sony handycam.

In the beginning...

I used to make it a habbit of carrying a pencil and sketchbook with me as much as possible. It was clear my sister inherited most of our mothers artistic abilities though I still felt I should try.

I mostly drew faces.

and more faces..

A few of these drawings I later scanned and colored them in photoshop. This first one I did with a standard computer mouse.
