A Tell Tale Heart

For those of you who don't know, and those of you who want to know what's going on.. I have made the Tell Tale Heart Animation Project a blog. It can be found here, and will hopefully keep you more up to date on the projects. I want to keep this to just postings of recent art. You may still see story specific art here, but I'll keep it brief and simple. For more detailed discussion, you can see the other blogs. (Yeah I plan to make more ;) )

Thank you as always,
Desi

An unusual school

In case anyone was wondering what I've been busy with ;)



View the animation

This is just a sampling of the many fish I've done for Powerpets.com 's new Aquarium feature! Its a somewhat rushed job so I was only able to infuse personality in a couple of them :(

That's one spastic hammerhead!

****EDIT****
A little puffer was excluded from the preview, but he's fully animated (puffing and unpuffing) in the swf!!

Migrant Camps

My sister Alisa (Her gallery) and I went with a friend and his mother to the migrant camps south of town. She works with the counties educational system to provide educational resources to those whenever they're here for the season. It's actually pretty amazing, they are the only group in the state who provides the migrants with a mobile classroom.



It's wonderful to see how excited the kids got when she pulled the large gutted out motorcoach into the farms large circle driveway. Despite the bitter cold and threats of rain they ran out, excitement beaming from most.

Before they head south for the winter the migrants (children and parents alike) are treated to a picnic day. There were hot dogs and hamburgers, new shoes donated by a local church, cookies, cupcakes, watermelon, sooo many different foods. This time, Alisa and I came along to give the children a special treat. Some face painting! This kept them out of the adults hair as well ;)

I've included some pics of the kids. Spiderman was the top choice, some robber masks... not a whole lot of creative choices but what can you do ;)



I had a good time, hopefully we can do it again!
