Some Kickstarter Rewards

So I've been working hard on the photo albums I promised to some of my kickstarter backers. From concept to page, it's taken a while to get these babies finished! But I'm pretty proud of how they came out.

Unfortunately, I was in a rush to send them out and didn't get too many great photos. But I'm posting what I have. Hope you like 'em!

Back from Adventure

Giant paper mache statues that were publicly displayed in Cuzco.

The city of Cuzco behind a local musician. Taken at Cristo Blanco.

The streets of Cuzco. Many are much narrower than this.

Machu Picchu.
The cooking tent at one of the campsites. Mike is in the back diligently chopping an onion.
Incan Ruins along the trail.
A little boy who I later struck up a friendship with. He was very interested in my camera.

The fountain in the center of a plaza in Cuzco.

So I'm back from my trip to Peru to hike the Inca Trail! I know I've said it a million and five times, but again, THANK YOU to everyone who supported the trip. It was an absolutely amazing experience.

Now I'm back in this muggy heat and I've been starting to sort through the thousands of pictures that I have.

I hope to be putting a stop motion animated video together with Michael Oshins which will give you a tour and a taste of our experience in fast forward mode. I think the video is going to be really great, so keep looking out for it!

In the meantime, I'm posting just a few of the pictures here because a lot of people have been asking to see them. Enjoy, and keep watching out for more!

Hello Peru?

Hello blog friends!

My name is Emily Tomasik, and I am a filmmaker/animator/sculptor/painter/sketcher/travel fiend, so you will see a variety of my art mediums on here! Hope you enjoy each and every one of them!

The travel fiend part of me is responsible for this post:

This weekend I was devoted to starting a kickstarter website to help me raise money to go to Peru and hike the Inca Trail this spring. The website is based off a rewards system, so the more you give, the more you get. I'm offering some pretty sweet hand made (and personalized!) cartoons and animations, photos and trinkets, etc. for your support. Definitely check out my video, it's only like a minute long and it pretty much tells you all you need to know. And if you look on the right hand column of the link below, it will give you a more detailed overview of all the awesome rewards you can get. Even if you can't help, pleeease pass the word along and help me hike the Inca Trail!!!!
