WEEKLY ILLUSTRATION

Hey guys,

I know you're probably all busy over the holidays with family and such...but Britt and I thought it would be a great idea if we could keep up a weekly illustration contest.

Each week a new topic will be picked to draw.

You have until Sunday-Topic: A TROLL
(please post your illustration up on your own blog
BI-weekly. Every 3-4 days (depending if one of the days lands on christmas or not))

Film Principles! Textbook Required

Hi and hope you're enjoying the break!

Just wanted to give you the info on the textbook you'll need for film class this term:

The Film Director Prepares: A Complete Guide to Directing for Film & TV (Paperback) by Myrl A. Schreibman (Author)

You can get it at Amazon and Chapters (among other places) for under 20 bucks.

Links here and here

Hey everybody! I'm hoping the snow isn't causing too much pain as it is joy for everybody!

I was on "tutorialized.com" becuase I was looking some photoshop tutorials and I stubbed upon this little article written by a very concerned animator. It's very very short but intelligent and also very "stright to the point". I think he's raising some good questions that should be heard, what do you guys think?

Heres the link: http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Animation-Then-Now-and-the-Times-to-come/39658

Oh and on another note that's barely related, anyone know of any wicked online tutorials for Photoshop that they love? Videos are preferred since they're sweet...but yeah! Anyway, happy holidays everyone!

To end the semester on a FAKE note:

by Kendall (totally inspired by Chelsea)

This is why I love the internet.

Somebody needs to schedule all of us one of those.

Missing Flashdrive

Okay, so this probably just spams up this blog but it's really important, at least to me.

My purple and white kingston 2GB flashdrive went missing, and I usually wouldn't care too much since I got the thing on sale, but it's kind of sort of got copies of some of my complete manuscripts on it. It went missing today. My side career as an author may be at stake if some person picks up my flashdrive, reads what's inside it and realizes they could make money off of my stuff. I've worked for years on this stuff and I don't want my dream to die when I walk into some store and see that some poser has published my book that I sweated blood on for 10 years. I'm not so concerned about my other stuff, but this one file is kind of my baby, plus there's a lot of crucial stuff about the plots of my OTHER books on it, so if somebody found it a lot of my secrets could leak out. I do have copies of all the files on the drive on my laptop as well as some other places... but this is more a matter of security. Please, if you see a flashdrive laying around, show it to me!!

Please, please, please, if you see it, get it to me so I can rest easy. I'll be looking everywhere I can think of.

Thanks,

Rosy
