Walkthrough Characters

These are a few characters that I might use for a walk through animation, just a run and walk cycle. I'm thinking the big guy

Tei-Chi Otter

I'm on a kung fu kick, no pun intended, this is the sculpture design that I'm working on right now, it's a character upgrade from the otter, to Tei-chi master otter. :)

The Cuteness that is a sea otter

This is the second sculpture due for my sculpture class, it's a base shape otter not smoothed out yet but so much fun I think

I've done now 4 total ball animation this is the latest ball with a tail assignment.

Photo Assignment 1: Light

Here's the start of my photo assignments, first time shooting on a raw format, and manual setting, I've really been flying blind these past 10 years. I like where it's going though. :)

The Eye's of Judgment, Photo manipulation, Photoshop

This is one of my conceptual pieces for Expressive drawing. I listened to my friends talk about the real tyrannical way that BYU-I treats it's students as 6 year old. More than that, this is based on an experience out of my control, came back from a heated argument to find that my ex wife had cut her wrist, though I walked away to cool off previous to that, I was still blamed by her actions.

Group project-Unity, "Life With"

This is our 9 piece 7x7 work for a group project we are doing in expressionism. It's based off of unity, in a grid system and in color. I went for a duo so I could use it as a piece for the series Life with is the title, it's all the mess and crap that seem to get in the way of who we are as people, blocking us in and making us feel trapped. Their is always a way out though. Ya, this is how this class is letting me think. :) I love it.

Head Drawing

These are the first real head drawing that I think is worth putting up. Woot.

The 7 Year Path

This is a series that I'm currently working on for Expressive Drawing, A series derived for my sanity really. This will be a collection of abstract geometric expressionism/minimalism, these are the first five out of... who knows. Therapy is awesome.

The Creature Feature

Hey this is me, what of it?

Kelly Bird Mental Nerd

She's not a nerd at all, it just rhymed. My wife Kel, the smartest person I know. :) Love you sweetness.
