I should make this blog more of a thing, get, ready, gonna just post doodles and things and maybe snaps of my time overseas.

Music Video for I did for Mount Pleasant. Hand animation.

And just like that a new video, this time help from my friend Ruby Read, sock puppets by Mirabel Oliver for my friend's band The Response. Another hearty day

SOCK CATS

I forgot to post this, my friend Chris Stratton mostly directed it, we cut it togeather and I DOP'd it while my other friend Ruby Rhianna-Wilson did the lights. All in all a rich full day.



I promise I will be posting more and more on this as I have lots on. So my girlfriend and Chris and that one other guy in Australia can enjoy more posts from yours truly.

Space Bitches

Lick-quid

I've been having these interesting dreams lately that I will probably turn into something you can see or read. They remind me of the dreams I had about 3-2 years ago. I can't really describe a lot of them, but the feeling is kind of summer night time, wet grass, thirsty, crying and yelling but no noise, laughing, tearing and healing, blood and gunk oozing, eyes straining to stay awake, moist air, fresh smells hot breathing. Dripping, everything is dripping.

Dat is funny

Sometimes I stress myself out because I don't feel I'm making something that is really pushing my limits as a creator and that I'm not making of something of true worth. Then I see some really simple drawn cartoons and they make me squeal like a little child with delight. And then I remember thats all I'm supposed to do. Make things that make someone like me squeal like a child. After all that is something of true worth isn't it?

Here are some real sweet pictures: Click and squeal

$$$ Plans

-Rob, do it reeeeally badly so I can reap the sweet benefits of free board and food at one of New Zealand's fine min security prisons

-Sell people my old 5c coins for a buck a pop

-Make a video of me 'selling' myself, like, instead of a show reel make a real show.

I will work backwards. I'm also listening to this a lot:

Uncertain Curtain

I keep finding all of these little paragraphs I wrote from ages ago for all my little ideas that stick round. I keep noticing all of these horrific grammar mistakes I constantly make. People keep asking me what is that I do, and I can't find the words to sum me up. I keep having intense daydreams that kind of shake me and make me feel self-concince. My mumbling continually gets worse and I find it harder to keep tabs on it in everyday conversation. I keep thinking of all these different scenarios based on what people say to me, then I blurt out the punchlines to my unexplainable jokes to everyone's confusion. Its taking me longer to write my images down in succinct ways. I look at my bank account everyday and regret every cent I spend. My sleep seems constantly broken and due to constant tiredness I feel behind on all of my work that is self-directed anyway. Every time I leave my house I become increasingly more and more aware of the public looking at me. Every time I draw a cartoon I become increasingly disappointed with how it looks.

-This should be my most motivating time, boy I hope it is

Roy Orbison

I woke on a Monday to get ready to fly to Auckland,  the cat was sleeping up against my warm belly. We were keeping each other warm. For a while the cat and I got in sync with each other. When I would nap/sleep so would the cat. When I ate, so did the cat. We were like an old couple. Just did what the other did, never needing to talk about it, we've had every conversation. I looked out of my window. Nothing but snow. Fuck, better check if my plane will go. Load up my laptop and, mother fucker, the laptop had died.

That was like three weeks ago. Maybe less. I'm now in Auckland (had to wait four days) and now have my laptop slowly roasting my testicles to a nice level of infertility. Making plans but no stream of revenue, so sure hope my plans and my life decisions pan out.

Listening to Roy Orbison. So life is pretty good. A plus.

Local art is still alive

I'm off to live in Auckland for a while or longer, not sure. Anyhow, this website came up on facebook. Rosa was at Fine Arts the same time I was. Her website is really nice and her paintings are great. Have a look:

While I'm pimping art in Christchurch you should go have a look at this gallery. It is very good.

Finding new ways to tell that same old story

Every one likes the classic fairy stories. I do anyhow. There is something addictive about the sense of danger and sorrow in them but the simplicity and bittersweet optimism inside them always gives me a feeling of relief. I enjoy that.

 I'm doing another silent clowning show for kids by Dan Bain for the Court Theatre. Its going to be in a 700 seat venue, so, I will be interested to see how it goes. The show you ask? Hansel & Gretel.

Come if you please. Its a 'kids play' but physical comedy is for everyone. Unless of course you are a jaded bastard.

Cartoonists

Are you one? Know one? Wanna get stuff out there? Send me an email, might have a way

48 Hours

My team did pretty well at this this year, the team had good vibes but also focus and a want to keep creating and improving. We were awarded the Runner-up in the Christchurch city final and Ballantyne and I were nominated for best actress and actor respectively. So It must be good on some level right?
