Call out to my friends!

Dear friends,

To anyone who rides the TTC and has collected a shitload of transfers from multiple rides over the course of weeks on end...DON'T THROW THEM OUT!!

Instead, give them to me and I'll turn them into art!

You see, I'm currently experimenting with mixed media painting in conjecture with my Character Design class. Using the caricatures that I'll be drawing in my sketchbook while riding the TTC, I'll later bring them to my easel and paint them up using the transfers as a wallpaper background.

I'm hoping it will have an interesting effect and connect the idea of rider and transit system together.

Could make for a good series. ;)

Sincerely the ever growing Artiste,
~ HeatHer

p.s: I've got a few Oakville and Mississauga transfers lying around too.

ANI100: Ball and Balloon Bounce Assignments

You asked for it, you got it! My animations of the past 2 weeks.

Apologies for the crap quality. Since Seneca is old skool for the 1st years, I recorded these using my digital cam of off the line-tester tv. :\

Rubber Ball Bounce



Bowling Ball Bounce



Balloon Bounce

Week 2: January 14th-18th, 2oo8

Ah...the artist hides behind her art.

("Probably not a good idea to go to a bowling alley next week for assignment research...might look a bit retarded....")

It's official, my sketchbook named Eros is finished! Drew this on the last page today.

Week 1: January 7th-11th, 2oo8

Life Drawing Assignment #1: Draw two self-portraits. One realistic and one in any comic or animation style you wish. (I chose my own style. ;D)



* I love the fact that my cartoony self looks more like me than my attempt at realism. This just further proves my point that I am, in fact, a cartoon. I do not belong in this world of real...

School approacheth...

With my first day of classes at Seneca just 3 days away now I thought it would be a good idea to draw your attention to two websites that have been fueling my interests in the animation industry and comic production field for the past few months: ReBoot Revival and Zeros2Heroes.

You should definitely check them out.

Dragonball Z Live-Action Movie

So the rumour around the internet is there is going to be (maybe) a live-action Dragonball Z movie, if it ever gets out of production hell that is. This movie has been in the works, trying to get started for a few years now at least. It might be a Dragonball or Dragonball Z movie, depending on which sources you look at. One source says it's the same plot of the anime series, another has an entirely random plot set with Goku as an unpopular high schooler (can I have a big, "WTF?!") other sources will have slightly different casts, one of which listed James Marsters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame to play Piccolo. Granted, I think he has the right facial features, but I don't know if he could pull it off. I'm sure because this is a Hollywood production they chose him because he is British as EVERY American-made film must have an Englishman as the villain.

In my opinion, if a Dragonball OR Dragonball Z movie were to be made, it should be made with a Japanese cast and crew. Enough said.

My Future

I don't think anything says what lies ahead for an artist after graduation quite like Amy Donohoe's comic The Littlest Hobo ( page 1, page 2, page 3, page 4, page 5, page 6 ).

Bring on the hobo fights.
