A few stills

As I have stated earlier, I am keeping with the self portrait theme but am turning my focus onto film. Here are a few stills from the film I'm working on right now.

Self Portraits: Day 30

I have decided that today will be the final day of the daily self portraits.  I didn't make it through the whole semester, but thirty days of work has produced far more self portraits than I had anticipated.  I'm sure I'll continue to create many more over the next couple months but I'll be spending a lot more time in the media lab working on the films so I don't think I'll have the time to keep this up...but who knows, maybe I will.  I'll still be posting quite often but just no longer on a daily basis.
Here is today's drawing.

Self Portraits: Day 29

Today wound up being a very productive day, even though it didn't go as I had planned.  I was planning to spend the whole day in the computer lab working on my film, but unfortunately it was booked all day for a photography tutorial.  My head was full of ideas and I was really looking forward to working them out on the computer, but now I had to accept the fact that I wouldn't be doing that today.
Once I finally sat down at my workspace I started drawing...a lot.

At this point in the day I was running very low on things to draw on.  Then I found this small bit of canvas.

After that I started drawing on the large piece of paper that is taped onto my table-top.

I finally decided it was time to buy some paper, so I went to the shop and bought some newsprint.
