The Great Wandering

I'm off on spring travels, studying in France, and have a nice new sketchbook I'm filling up!

During spring break, between Savannah and France, I flew to Seattle for an interview and got to visit the famous Pike's Place market:

Waiting in the Seattle airport, watching the sunset - my last look at the west coast for a long time:

Then seeing the sun rise on the east coast during a layover in Charlotte - followed terrifyingly quickly by a phonecall from the interview I'd just had offering me an internship...!

...leading to decision struggles and cathartic doodling:

Leaving Savannah for France after just a day (strange encounters on Lufthansa flights and practice processing leonine face-markings for my film by using some friend's faces):

Waiting at the airport in Munich for the final flight to Marseilles, I was surrounded by Russians:

And then after flying over the incredible Alps - FRANCE!

3000-year-old Roman bridges and beautiful old houses everywhere:

And we've only been here for a few days! The adventure has just begun. While I still have a good number of commitments to projects back home and am attempting to get Dovecote running again, I'm hoping that this will be a time mostly for thought, writing, and drawing to plan for a number of projects of my own. It's a beautiful, inspiring place, and I'm surrounded by inspiring people - what could be better?

The blogs of the inspiring ladies I'm with:
Lane!
Lauren!

this is it



This finals was crazy intense, but happily this got at least a little finished. Much love to Malachi Graham for the inspiring song; I can't wait for this music video to be a reality <3

Something old -

Meant to post this a while ago, but just got around to it: the revised layout for Natalia's film! Looking much better than
the previous version I think :)

Norovirus!

So in the midst of all the madness of this quarter, I got the opportunity to do a test animation for the amazing Lauren Brown, who is pitching a series idea to Warner Brothers. Norovirus, the main character, is a sentient computer virus on the run from the organization that created her. She was super fun to animate!

A poster for what might be a film one day! If I can ever hash out this animatic D8
