Post It Sketch 1

I have been struggling to get some drawing time in now that I'm literally working four part time jobs. So I have been trying to doodle during my lunch breaks on these post it notes. Then I have been finishing them at home.

The Dragon is marker, ink, and white gel pen. (Drawn around the same time we were making the dragon head for the parade) 
The Blue monster I experimented with painting with acrylics.
The Cat Sheep is marker and colored pencil. 
And Oliver from Packrats is colored pen and marker.

Packrats-Final

This is my final senior thesis film. I did and made everything myself right down to the floorboards except the music. The music was composed and played by Bryn Sumner, recorded by both of us and mixed by me. Thanks to my classmates, professors, and parents for their support.

Packrats

This stop motion, paper cut out animation is about two rat brothers, Oliver and Clarence, that wake up and start getting ready for a trip. They brush their teeth, get dressed, and pack their bag. Oliver, the younger brother doesn’t know exactly where they are going and imagines what they will need on their trip. Although they don’t always agree on what is absolutely necessary for their trip, they still care about each other.
