Nuit Blanche 2012

Last night there was a free art festival in Toronto, Ontario from 7pm to 7am called Nuit Blanche.  It was completely free, including free coffee and free water, too!  There were over 100 art installations all over the city of Toronto, and tonnnns of people.  I was so impressed at how smooth it ran, how creative it was, and how many people came out!  I feel like only a city like Toronto can do something like it. Maybe one day I can have a piece there!

Here's some photos from the festival, if you have time, check it this year's artists! http://www.scotiabanknuitblanche.ca

Beginning of Pizza!

 I built the set completely out of scrap wood, and the couch is upholstered with a sock. It's pretty cool what a band saw, paint, and hot glue can do.

I've been doing a few things with claymation recently. I'm in the process of making a short with the tentative title, Pizza!, and I began shooting yesterday. After a full day of animating, my little clay figures were becoming disfigured and mushy, so I thought I'd take a few pictures while they're still in their prime.
