It was back to teaching this past week (and for some, the week before). The spring 2019 semester begins. Hard to image but this is my 15th year of teaching college students. I LOVE teaching! I would like to ask my fellow teaching colleagues far and wide to consider...

Class is in session - We are making some appropria Class is in session - We are making some appropriate #icons for a dark and seemingly gloomy Monday morning in #nyc - but we have warm drinks and #adobe #illustrator to get the creativity flowing. #coffee #hotdrinks #graphicdesign #illustration #coffeecup #teacup #visualcommunicationdesign
I took a great class with the master @draplin on @ I took a great class with the master @draplin on @skillshare and have been thinking a lot about creating some new #merch and making a series of enamel pins, stickers and embroidered patches (or wrapping paper?) I have always loved this little icon that I made and want to see it evolve off the screen and into the world. I also want to simulate the process and be transparent about it. More to come! #icons #pin #patch #merchendise #graphicdesign #fun #chatacterdesign #bboy
Work in progress- testing testing - #wip - Lets ma Work in progress- testing testing - #wip - Lets make this lil dude start to move. This is just a quick series of fun iterations and effects applied between photoshop and mobile apps like “Imaengine” - animated sticker #GIFS can be made in photoshop to maintain the needed transparent background. PS - Im in the process of making all of my teaching materials available on my websites (there are a few), all free stuff, happy to share! Big Open Education advocate here! #animation #anime #robot #character #fun #motiongraphics #digitalart #stickers

Up and at it here! Here is a new variation of this Up and at it here! Here is a new variation of this new animated series - for practice, I take a simple premise like “2 friends walking through a city” and play with that. Keep it simple and seemingly banal, light goes a long way setting a mood, as well as the duration and movement of the loop itself. I make the background graphics first and then the characters (the assets were all made in #adobe #illustrator this time - so it started it all as a vector illustration) - usually I just start in black and white lines or shapes. Im a big fan of variety and love to see what the aesthetic potentials are for style- which can mean the degeneration of the art. (Swipe left to see ) All of the assets were animated into one composition using adobe #aftereffects #animation #gif #motiongraphics #nyc #bboy #bgirl #walking #vaporwave
A slow reflective walk through the late hours of t A slow reflective walk through the late hours of the city... Here is another subtle #animation using assets created in #photoshop and then animated in #aftereffects - hope my animation students enjoy learning this process and exercise today :)) #gif #loop #bboy #vaporwave #nyc #digitalart #design #fun #kangol

Its a combination of a tutorial for classes this week and another secret project 🤫 in the works. Swipe left for a few process fragments and variations.

Kudos to @GIPHY & @giphyarts for continuing to support their Artists! That "Hire Me" button opens new possibilities. Thank You! #gif #loop #digitalart #fun #giphy #animation
