For my Narrative Color class we had to Illustrate a practical joke using a primary color scheme and an accident waiting to happen using warm and cool colors to separate parts of the illustration. The accident waiting to happen is pretty self explanatory and the practical joke is based off of a prank that my friends pulled on me during my freshman year of college. They had found a mannequin head out in the bushes of Baltimore and thought it would be funny to put it into my bed. My roommate at the time was pretending to be asleep but actually was under her covers video taping my reaction. It was horrifying to pull back the covers and find a disembodied head there. Yeah, my friends.

These were relatively quick because I only had one week to do both of them.

Inside Job

In my Concepts I class we were each assigned a different movie to go see in theaters. During the film we had to draw/take notes from the movie to later turn into an illustration to represent it. The print size for the illustration was to be 3 x 4.5 inches because it would accompany text were it for a real job. I was assigned the Inside Job. It is a documentary that explores the economic crash in the USA and what caused it to happen. A big part of the film was describing the corruption of the major banks and of the consumerist system in general. In short, the documentary made me very angry and frustrated with the way things are run in the world. The quote that stuck in my mind most from the movie was from a French woman (I cannot remember her exact status) who compared the U.S government's response to the impending economic crisis as say there was a tsunami coming and all they were doing was deciding which bathing suit to wear. Another aspect of the film that particularly made me upset (there were many aspects) was the fact that the higher-ups in the main money corporations were very much into hiring prostitutes... and paying them with taxpayer money by writing their own invoices. It is a combination of those two things that I chose to illustrate.

Gosh, it makes me so sad how corrupt people can be.

Anima Escola 2010

This blog may seem in a halt after our 18th festival edition in last July. But the truth is Anima Mundi team hasn't stopped a minute since then!... In addition to the preparation of our next edition(s), we have every year to deal with a big commitment with Education: our project ANIMA ESCOLA (Anima School).

In 2010 we started with a double challenge: besides the municipal schools in Rio de Janeiro, with elementary and middle schools, we are also present in the State of Rio network of public schools, dealing at this time with four high schools, introducing teachers and students to the animation language.

From August to December, there will be several workshops and courses training more than 200 teachers in Rio de Janeiro City and State. As a result, many films will be produced with technical and artistic support of our team.

We will be soon posting more details about all this!

map of male encounters

For my Concepts I class we had to make a map of something. It didn't have to be of a real place so I decided to take a more personal route. I made a map of my male encounters inspired by old ocean maps. Each "creature" represents one of my awkward/weird/notable/bad guy experiences. All of the monsters have attributes reflecting my experience with them (shape, color, etc.) Also, the key around the edge of the map, if you follow it, says how old I was when I encountered each person. I am the little teal boat and the red dotted line marks my journey.

This is traditional media- watercolors and ink

god king

This is the process and culmination of the next phase in my character design class. We were assigned a main character from our group's story and had to do 30 thumbnails and then one final of that main character. I designed the god king. He has flowy eyebrows. (the god king, in the story, kicks the main character god out of heaven. I illustrated him in the act- his emotions control the weather)

the sign of etsy.com

Our second concepts I project was to create new zodiac signs based on issues of the 21st century. We were split into groups for this assignment, and my group chose to do The Age of the Internet. Each of us picked a website and had to not literally illustrate the site, but more or less create a kind of world representing it. I decided to do etsy.com and focused mainly on the crafty aspect of the people who use the website. So, this is an illustration of an etsy hipster knitting her world :)
