Super Sculpey

2010-09-24T06:35:00.000-07:00

I have always been into making dolls and figurines as a kid. Watching Art Attack! got me really into 3d and crafting. I took several art classes throughout high school including general arts and crafts as well as sculpting and painting.

This summer I began to use super sculpey and fell in love. Not only does it allow me to use my 3d skills but allows me to venture into arts and crafts with sewing and costume making as well as enabling me to continue my painting skills with fine washes and glazes to full on pigment.

I have begun a blog for just my sculptures - I have quite a few pieces after 2 months - which can be seen at:

Been playing around with sketchup for about 2 weeks now. here are a few examples of what I have managed to learn so far:

Portfolio 2010

2010-04-13T13:02:00.000-07:00

Here are a few of the portfolio pages I put together. Seems like I have alot more Flash work than anything else, heh. Its great to work with when its not crashing on my film! :P

The Late Movie

2010-01-11T16:01:00.000-08:00

Scene from The Late Movie

I am currently working on my final film titled The Late Movie for my 4th year at Sheridan College. The story is about a teen named Landon, who finds himself on a crazy adventure after receiving a strange phone call earlier that day. I am animating all in Adobe Flash Cs4...which will be my first attempt at full traditional-style animation using the program.

The following pieces are locations that I am currently working on..

Gorilla Warfare

2010-01-11T15:50:00.000-08:00

Still playing catch-up with last year's posts. I thought I would post my third year film on here. Go give it some love..

Life Drawing: The Final Chapter

2010-01-04T15:49:00.000-08:00

The end of last semester was also the end of Figure Analysis in my studies at Sheridan. It was a fun year of costume and amazing models.
Here are a few pieces from my last portfolio:

Maggie Net

2010-01-04T01:21:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple of sample pages from the childrens book I have been working on titled
Maggie Net and the Laws of Attraction. The entire book is done in Adobe Flash - since learning the program this summer I have been exploring a range of style and effects.

This is my second book with author David Clark. My first book, Tommy and the Talking Tree is available online: link

3rd Year Randoms

2010-01-04T01:04:00.000-08:00

Group film and co-op work put a halt on blog updates for a while. Here are a few random pieces I did during the 2009 year...

Photoshop Goodness

2008-11-17T16:00:00.000-08:00

Photoshop has become such an important tool for most artists in digitally rendering images. It is fast with no mess to clean up, and allows for several variations of the same image in mere moments.
Final Layout: 2nd year

However, I still prefer to use traditional mediums when given the choice. I have always enjoyed not only being able to touch and feel something real, but also maintain a skill that not everyone still carries out.

I would like to develop better skills in photoshop as I progress as an artist, however I often find myself leaving pieces unfinished when I do them digitally. Layout:Scott Caple. Drawing and painting: me

Staring at a screen for hours isnt an ideal past time for me, and the ability to use "brushes" cheapens the experience for me. Yet, there is always something new to learn in the program and now that everything has gone digital I am forced to continue to use it.

Happily Ever After

2008-11-07T15:03:00.000-08:00

Some random concept stuff I did for my story in second year..
Nothin' too fancy here folks...just a whole lot of fun to be had. Gouache, marker, and photoshop...

2008-11-07T14:50:00.000-08:00

Just some character design stuff I did in second year. I figured that I would try and break up all the layouts being posted with something else....and this is it I guess. I used to really enjoy drawing and designing characters, but somewhere along the way I moved into painting landscapes instead.

Disney Master Copy

2008-11-04T07:49:00.001-08:00

The Master Copy assignment; we had to find a film and copy a scene to learn style and stuff. I chose a "Lady and The Tramp" scene because they are just so dang pretty. Gouache paint on illustration board.

2008-11-04T07:01:00.000-08:00

Here are some traditional gouache paintings from first and second year (have a few more to post later). I really enjoyed painting a lot - I still do it when I can - when there is time for it anyways.

The traditional stuff can never be truly replaced by digital... the feeling of a brush sweeping over canvas or paper is soo awesome!
