But, It's Nugget Night.

Finished this one out today-  I'm sure there are some tweaks that need doin'... but I feel pretty good about it.  My kids love it- so that's okay.

Abe was tall.

Mmmm, Broccoli.

Here's a look at my current animation project.

Distraction

I am terrible at time management.  I never find time to do stuff for me.  So every once in a while I try and not worry about what I'm "supposed" to be doing and just do something for fun.  Last night-  I drew this.  I was supposed to do animation homework but I chose to draw for a while.  I'm glad I did too.  It was a nice break from all the other stuff going on.  And I feel like I'm getting better at caricature type stuff- if only a little at a time.  

Dustin off the old pallette

Haven't gone plein aire painting since college- 7 years ago.  Went with my daughter this morning for a school art competition just to be there for support.  She got first place in her category.  I did okay considering how dusty my brushes are.  It's incredibly fun and relaxing.  I need to do more. When this dries a little bit I'll revisit it and fix some stuff.
Here's Mack's landscape.

Animation

Here are the 3 shots I worked on this term.   The first one has  many revisions needed.  The second one can be fixed quite a bit too. I feel pretty good about the last one.

Jimmer Fredette- Football Sensation.

My 7 year old loves the Jimmer.  While watching the BYU v. Ole Miss football game on saturday- he kept wondering , "Where's Jimmer?"  so I made this coloring book page for him.  And now I present it to you:  Feel free to print off a copy and color it.  Then send me your completed coloring.  The best one will win a free coloring book page of your choosing to be drawn by me.  :)  ENJOY.
