New directions

2010-11-22T00:21:00.001-08:00

The last 2 months were some of the busiest I've ever experienced. I am currently paying the price for it, a bit of a head cold, and about 10lb lighter than when I started, but I made it through and just when it seemed everything was about to collapse, I pulled through. I am starting my own business which will focus on creating interactive installations/displays as well as visuals for events. Certainly not what I went to college for but perhaps the evolutionary step. One has to adapt to his/her environment and so I have done just that. The market in Singapore for movie effects is (obviously) tiny. I loved every minute of my stint at Lucasfilm Animation Singapore and still wish I was there, but looking back now my life would be very very different. Just as moving out here was a major change in my life's direction, so was leaving LAS. It has been hard but it seems as though I have weathered the storm. 2011 will be much better than 2010 when it comes to the work front. This new venture will put me in full creative control and able to pursue whatever work is interesting to me, which is what I wanted from day 1. The experience I gained at LAS set the foundation and now it's up to me to make a name for myself. Stay tuned.

Project Singa

2010-11-14T09:30:00.001-08:00

Got invited to participate in a live drawing ...thing at Funan mall for the launch of ProjectSinga's vinyl collectible figures and got to doodle on a big print of Singa the lion.

They gave me a box set of the figures. It was nice to just draw

Interactive Visuals for a phone launch event

check it out.

two pieces that I created for a phone launch event in Singapore. Created in VVVV. (www.vvvv.org). Expressions were used to create and animate the second piece.

These are the first two things I have made in vvvv, so I am very excited at what is to come. I always wish that I could program and so vvvv is nice because of it's node based system. minimal coding, maximal making cool stuff.

I will post pics hopefully from the event soon.

I made a script in after effects to make a spirograph like design. This was used in my performance at the Heineken Green Room on May 22nd. I created all of the art for the event with the help of Lucas from Bunch Design. It was a really rewarding moment when I walked to the venue (which was massive) and saw all of my work on literally every square inch of the space. The signage, the posters, the walls, the staff uniforms, the fliers, but most of all the DJ booth. It was a huge print about 10 feet across that was illuminated from behind. I am definitely going to try to get some for myself haha.

Lucas and I were also tasked with creating and performing the visuals for the DJ set. Kode9 is a fairly famous international act so we had to deliver a performance of similar impact. I will post about it when I get the pictures and video from the event but I will say that it went far better than I could have imagined. Truly one of the best nights of my life.

some random snaps from the comic convention. if anyone reading this has some good pictures, please email them to me!

it was a great experience. I sold a few things, made a bunch of new friends, and learned a lot. looking forward to next years already (this time i will have prints in hand). Hit me up.

SGTCC UNDER WAY

2009-08-13T07:00:00.000-07:00

Tonight was the big kick off for the Singapore Games, Toys, and Comics Convention. I arrived late from work to finish setting up my booth only to find people already looking at my work! It was a pleasant surprise and hopefully a good sign of things to come this weekend. My booth was pretty sparse so I have been cannibalizing my sketchbook (don't worry, it's already falling apart) to add other material to the walls. I will be doing a live painting on the good advice of Pay Shawn. Hopefully I can make a bit of cash and get my name out there at the same time. The business cards have been a hit.

Dont look for any deeper meaning from me on this one. I think it just looks neat. I would say its the most painterly and least digital looking digital painting I done, making it a success to me. 48 layers and 700 megabyte big.

Frank would come home late from work almost every day. We would screw with him and pour Pinesol all around the door. It was always a hilarious time to see him come home and slip right when he walked in. Until he slipped and fell onto a nail.

I want to visit: GUNKANSHIMA

2009-06-08T20:31:00.000-07:00

http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/2004/07/gunkanjima-island.html

"Off the westernmost coast of Japan, is an island called 'Gunkanjima' that is hardly known even to the Japanese. Long ago, the island was nothing more than a small reef. Then in 1810, [with] the chance discovery of coal ... people came to live here, and through coal mining the reef started to expand continuously. Befor [sic] long, the reef had grown into an artificial island of one kilometer (three quarters of a mile) in perimeter, with a population of 5300. Looming above the ocean, it appeared a concrete labyrinth of many-storied apartment houses and mining structures built closely together. "

was once the most densely populated place on earth

Why won't anyone pick me for the baseball team?

2009-06-08T07:09:00.000-07:00

this is the first figure i have completed in what will hopefully become a collection for display at the Singapore games and comic convention. IF IM LUCKY

I was hoping to do a series of more intricate and detailed models, but I have been working on one for a couple weeks now and it is obvious that I won't have time to get many done. This finished model, however, represents the physical form of the drawings that I have been doing. It is my "style" per say. the caption for this guy is "why won't anyone pick me for the baseball team"

more soon

2009-06-07T04:22:00.000-07:00

This was my "big project" over the summer before beginning my journey in the far east. I had spent most of my senior year messing around with Zbrush, which is still a passion of mine, but I had to return to hard surface modeling, just to prove that I still had it.

more recap

2009-06-07T03:51:00.000-07:00

Keep in mind that these are all over a year old. Which is kind of sad. Since starting my first real job I have struggled to make time to continue doing 3d work. It is a combination of lack of time and motivation...I didn't think I would fall into it, but it really is true....when you work all day, the last thing you want to do is come home and do more work.
