Update…

by

Just wanted to post some stuff that is going on…

- My adult cartooning class this last weekend was fantastic. Thanks to all my students for their hard work and great enthusiasm.

- Right now I am teaching the first week of the Cartoon Art Museum Cartoon Boot Camp with a theme of Superheroes. I will post some samples of the work in the next few weeks. This week is just jam packed with teaching and activities that is keeping me on my toes.

- I will be teaching at the Schulz Museum July 6-10, 2009.

- I have some freelance projects finishing and also starting up and that is a nice feeling. Here is one that I am just finished up HERE.

- I finally got to get a “Doc Popular” sandwich at Ike’s in San Francisco. A bit pricey, but they bake the bread fresh per sandwich which makes it pretty special. If you go during their ‘happy hour’ you can get a free drink and chips with your sandwich is a good deal. http://www.ilikeikesplace.com/

- I will be at the San Deigo Comic Con 2009, more information coming soon.

Off to Santa Rosa this week.

by

This week I am in Santa Rosa CA to teach the animation class at the Schulz Museum. The class is brand new and hopefully it will result in some cool animations. If all goes according to plan I will have some video clips to show on-line the week after. I will be blogging later this week as well.

JULY 7–11 ● 9am–12:30pm | Stop and Go!
Learn the basics of stop-motion animation and make your own animated film by the end of the week. Students will experiment with stop-motion and hand-drawn animation, flip books and zoetropes, as well as other methods. Taught by professional artist Brian Kolm.
COST: $152 for members; $190 for non-members

Here is a video clip from a class that has all ready happened, the Cartoon Safari that started with some drumming. Due to working with Children the clip can not be embedded. So click on the text below.

Students launch their “Cartoon Safari” week with a drumming session with South African musician Baba Shibambo. They spent the rest of the week creating cartoon creatures and stories with professional cartoonist Brian Narelle as part of our 2008 summer class session.
