Totoro

Ill be the first to admit that any form of japanese animation looked pretty lame... I never had an interest in Anime or anything remotely close. Recently, lots of people at work were buzzing about the great films of Hayao Miyazaki. I decided to educate myself and check out what all the buzz was about. Id heard a lot about the Academy Award winner Spirited Away, which after a watch was very interesting - beautiful visuals and a Narnia/ Wizard of Oz type of adventure. I also rented My Neighbor Totoro - which was just great! About a cuddly tree spirit that flies on a giant spinner; he is just too darn cute. See for yourself!

The XXL Multi Tool

Can you believe this thing even exists? You could probably skip through TSA security with this in your pocket.

"Among the many top Swiss Army knives, the 24-tool Champion is often ranked among the most prized and efficient, but the craziest one of all has to be 2007's Swiss Army Knife XXL, left, (created by former rival Wenger, after its 2005 acquisition by Victorinox). Selected by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's Most Multifunctional Pen Knife, the XXL includes 87 tools and 141 functions. But doesn’t it defeat the spirit of the original's weightless portability?" Jose Fermoso.

Figure Drawing

Some sketches from today's gesture drawing class - its uninstructed and the model holds the pose for around 2 minutes. This was by the end of the session, as I was speeding up - and finally included all of the limbs... it took me a while to loosen up. Im learning a ton by simple trial and error, and really trying to focus of weight distribution and movement. I love my job.
