Hey another quick entry. Lots of work still happening, I have my first maquette to finish. The whole process has been one of the oddest working relationships I have ever had. I find my mood towards this clay figure in a constant state of flux. One moment I could be on the top of the world hand in hand with a mono-toned waxy Keira Knightley and the next moment streaming at her like she just pee'ed on the carpet and another moment weeping in a corner over a piece of her outfit falling off.

In other news I met one of the coolest guys ever. An awesome aussie by the name of Andrew Cawrse. If may not know him but you have probably seen his work, he worked for ILM for many years and has worked on Star Wars Episode 1 & 2, Galaxy Quest, Dreamcatcher, Van Hellsing and the upcoming James Cameron movie Avatar as a character sculpture/modeler. He did a talk in my class and gave some great info and inspiration and was just the thing I needed now that I'm started to work towards specializing my portfolio for my ideal job which I'm think might be heading into the world of character design and modeling for games and movies. Andrew actually has left ILM to start a company called Anatomy Tools who make IMHO the best anatomy reference figures around. Check them out at [link]

I also met the guys from Grex Airbrush who let me have a go with one of their brushes and man they are crazy nice.
