Starting almost two weeks ago, I started watching all of ABC's LOST on DVD (loaned to me by my good friend Heather). And pretty much every night after work, I've driven to the studio, sat down, and watched at minimum 3 episodes a night, with the goal of being caught up before the season 6 premiere (the last season!).

As I've done this, I've also tweeted my reactions to the show more or less in real time, for anyone who cares to know. So here's the best of the best. If you want, check me out on Twitter to see more analysis!


- On the 4th disc of Season 1 of #Lost, and the polar bear is saying "Walter." Creepy. I've missed out on a lot- it's good to catch up.

- Damnit, I liked Arnz. Why'd he have to blow up?

- Ana Lucia needs to die. What a witch hunter thug.

- Sawyerine: starting to understand the attraction to Sawyer. He is indeed Wolverine!

- I love the voice of "Zeke" (one of The Others). I wish I could imitate it.

- How many baby actors they used to play Aaron? I'm not going to scrutinize the credits, but it's certainly food for thought.

- the character study of Juliet and Jack is troubling, since I feel that the actors don't have any special chemistry.

- Now there's underwater Others to worry about now?!

- I enjoy Sayid episodes! But this needs to be said again: YOU CAN'T CLOSE DEAD PEOPLE'S EYES AFTER THEY DIE IF THEY WERE OPEN!

- I will lose my faith in humanity if Des and Penny ends in tears.

- Benjamin has proved how awesome he is. Liar? Yes. Dangerous? Certainly. Killing a guy with his friend holding an AK? Awesome.

- Hooo boy! Young Whittmore is (SPOILER) an Other?! It just gets better and better!

- Episode called "316," when the plane gets turbulence, they dropped a Wilhelm Scream in the background. Google Wilhelm Scream.

- He... shot... a... kid... ?!?!?!


I'll be done Sunday!
TTYL!

Animatic #6! And the Standees (again)! And a blast from the past!

Pretty neat, huh? This is the last Hoogie and Stiff animatic for the foreseeable future. I capped myself at 6, to prevent myself from not doing other things Linendoll's and other related. BUT if a really good idea comes up for another one of these, I'm going to hit it... :)



Just this picture again. More in yesterday's post, I'm just fond of my expression in this one. Not too far from being called s**t-eating opened-mouth grin, I'd say...



OH! I was digging through old files, and found this gem from my college days, when I took Introduction to Animation in the Fall of 2005. Cute, eh?

TTYL!

Standees stand up!

So after much trial and error, I've constructed a pair of point-of-purchase (POP) display standees of Hoogie and Stiff. Here's a few more pics:





These bad-boys were made with an illustrator file to be 32" x 40", and then printed out in tiles. Using 3M-brand PMA (position-able mounting adhesive), I assembled it on a 32" x 40" foam-core board, and then cut the shape out. It took a while, and I had to rely on some acrylic and a sharpie to cover-up some smudges, but I feel they came out very well. Getting the idea across with ones sweat and tears, the callouses on ones hands a testament to the true grit of the go-get-em-tiger attitude that won the war and ensured two chickens in every pot, etc.


DRINK LINENDOLL'S BEER! It's good!



Here's a photo of my workspace. It's a little dirty right now, but I've been busy! Observant viewers might notice the Epson Workforce 600 I agonized over over last summer. It's neat.

OH! Before I forget, muchos gracias to Will Dinski, whom borrowed me the tripod I used for the pictures that include me in them. Will has studio space in the same building as me, and does really neat comics. Google this guy!

TTYL!
