Tims Mask progress.

Happy Monday!!!

Just a quick note to say we finally made a lifecast of Tim for his halloween mask. Spent a few hours last night cleaning and correcting it. We cast it in the morning and made the positive with Ultra-cal 30 and then had to go out for the aftrnoon..soo..when we arrived home and I wanted to finish it it had set to a cement hardness, as it should, and made cleaning it a bit harder. I will post pictures of it soon if not sooner. Was able to get a few during the process too. :)

Hope all your Halloween costume ideas are coming together and will be the best ever! :) Above all..have fun and enjoy the season.

**edit*

attaching some pictures of the mask before and after correcting. We also began applying the paper mache for the mask. Thats about all I will say about it for now though until its done. :)

Harvie Krumpet

This is an excellent short stop motion animated film which won the academy award in 2004. It's about 22 minutes long and WELL worth watching all the way through.

Hammer time!

Well I finally did it..I began construction on the walls in the garage to enclose my workshop. It will take a few weeks of time in between life to get the walls up and the drywall hung but as long as its done before winter I will be working in warmth this winter :)

I will post some pictures once it's done.

Hope everyone is having a great fall and is beginning to get ready for Halloween. THE best time of year. (well ok in my opinion anyway)

The family is getting very excited about going to see Jeff Dunham in October for his Spark of insanity" tour. if you haven't gotten the new DVD you need to drop what your doing and go get a copy..it is FANTASTIC! You can't go wrong! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll tell your friends about it! =)

Till next time.

Jeff Dunham

site changes

Still working on making changes to the look of the web site..made a few tonight with the links bar on the left of the main page. Using pictures instead of the generic link bar..will keep playing. Also trying to get the workshop better organized so i can work on my Buster animation again in between projects. meanwhile be sure to look at the great blogs of animators listed in my links sites..Shelley and Justin are making GREAT strides on their animations.

Keep your eyes peeled..well maybe not peeled but open anyway as I hope to post regularly..I am currently writing a post for the website about my recent trip to the 31st Annual Ventriloquist ConVention in Kentucky. It was a great time to meet new friends who share the same interests and have that same passion to play with dolls ..Oh My God did I say that>??? well toplay with Dummys..hmm..thats taboo too..to use Ventriloquial figures in an entertaining way..yeah yeah thats the ticket. :P
