today dreams

today i realized the power of dreams.
it is important to dream about a project before you start refineing it.
dream and imagine and have fun before you get into the nitty gritties.
i learned that from a concept video on mermaids.

i am going to build a mermaid suite out of eskimo coolers from coles.
fun fun!
they will help me to dream when i am awake.
i should remember a toilet function!

i will also work on my drawings for our project.
we will meet one of two more times before we go to print.
i need to do some environments which i love, so should be fun.

off to write my essay on the history of erotic animation.

p.s. biggest spider i ever seen in my room last night. woa. sooooo big!

and i am going to shoot the stop-motion thing for genre if i could ever book that darn room for frigs'sake!
it's gonna be sweet.
things i like:
"ring of fire" by andreas hykade
and simone eisler
and Mona Ryder
i am going to do some storyboarding now.
and then draw some fairy tale stuff - wish i had a cynteg or what-ever it's called!
i will just draw in my sketchbook and scan in as finished pieces i guess.

high fives?

there's a lot of blogging to catch up with.
i've got notes so at least the class bit i can do.
i have a huge pile of books on my desk.
aubrey beardsley
hans belmer
doll making and collecting
the female nude: art and obscenity
hardcore crafts
the feminine, gender and spirituality
and more

all has to do with the dolls.
i've bought some for cheap at an opshop. we're going to stop-motion animate them for my genre and the moving image class. they're going to give birth to more dolls through their chests. going to have lots of fiber and be dark but also beautiful. the idea is childrens shorts.

cutting into the dolls is going to be creepy!

i will catch up on all the blogging tonight.
