Mini-Portfolio

I am a third year Animation/Illustration major. I transferred from Diablo Valley Community college to SJSU. Currently I am in Ani 115 and will hopefully be in 129A, also. I'm most interested in being a storyboard artist, which is interesting since SJSU has no storyboarding classes. I do love painting and drawing, and fortunately SJSU has a lot of that.

Most of my childhood was actually spent reading, rather than drawing, so that would probably explain the origin of my love for stories. I love stories, and I want to make other people love them as much as I do.

This winter I decided I was going to do one personal project (30-60 minutes) a day. At first they took several hours, but after several weeks I go them down to the desired period of time. I was trying to tell stories with my paintings at first.

Eventually I decided to turn my daily effort towards studies to improve my painting skills.

I don't have a lot of experience with science. I took one conceptual physics class in high school. In college I took one biology class and one astronomy class, which it turns out was the least technical astronomy class ever. 

I tried to read a book once that was about the science of superheroes. The first few pages of each chapter were very enjoyable, but each chapter became extremely technical and mathematic and I could no longer follow it despite my best efforts.

And here's my final for my 114 class last fall. I like to thinkmy lack of physics knowledge didn't hold me back nearly as much as my contempt for animating boxes.

Hi, this is my blog for Physics 123. I'm looking forward to the rest of the class. :)
