Annecy 08

.

Me and Olga went on an amazing trip this past June. My student film, Key Lime Pie, was selected for competition in Annecy, which gave me an excuse to pack my bags and check out France for a week. Ive posted some pics and sketches from my trip.

My film's screening in La Grand Salle.

For a moment I forgot how to spell Annecy..I had to write it down three times with varying amounts of "N's" and "C's", and eventually some sort of visual trigger went off and I was able to circle the correct spelling. I was so proud of myself..

On the way home, this man was escorted off our plane by federal agents. They spent 20 minutes cleaning his seat afterwards. It was odd.
I swear these two were clones. They were looking at softcore porn on the plane and were quite comfortable doing so. It was humbling.

Back in NY...

in rainbows..

saw radiohead live a week ago...one of the highlights of my summer.

I got to see this..

Getting to know the Brooklyn Bridge.

A few weeks ago I spent my Saturday with the Brooklyn Bridge, something I've wanted to do since I moved to New York.

The people in my dreams have large heads and small bodies.

HAPPY B DAY JOJO!

Its my little sister's B day today..shes turning 15. She likes to draw, and she has an unhealthy obsession with monkeys....purty freaking cool if you ask me.
Happy B day sis, just because you're old now doesn't mean you can stop drawing!
IM WATCHING YOU.

In progress...

Based on a True Story.

So thats supposed to be Olga.
One day, Olga had this dream about tomato sour dough bread...which I don't think actually exists. Anyway, she was really groggy and tired when she was explaining this concept to me one morning, slurring words and not really making any sense. Luckily I was taking notes the whole time.
So then I got to drawing, and I gave her sharp teeth(which signify some sort of intense appetite or hunger). Her eyes are indeed focused on what appears to be sour dough bread with fresh tomato slices on top. So im like, yeah..its all coming together. All it needs now is some purple text. So I did that too, and voila...I make art.

Happy Birthday!

I wanted to wish my brother Jon a Happy Birthday..
He kicks ass at a lot of things; playing musical instruments, school, and most importantly being himself.
I couldn't ask for a better little brother, have an awesome day.

Pigeons...

Sometimes when I'm walking home, I can't help taking a quick glance down an alleyway.

"Weekends"

I did this on the weekend.

BLOOOOG VOOOMMMITTTTTTTTT!!!

Me and some friends tried to start a sketchblog called Latin American Dictator Sandwiches. Jeff was the only brave soul to post something. I finally scanned mine in after drawing it 4 1/2 months ago. Anyway...I think one day well get that sucker going. Till then, you can check out two whole sketches at http://www.fidelonrye.blogspot.com/

SO this is old news to some, but the Raptors lost in 6 games to their first round playoff opponent..the New Jersey Nets(They should relocate to Maryland and call themselves the Baltimore Basketballs!)

So began a 5 month depression, where I couldn't eat, sleep, or draw. I did however start working..at a place called the House of Cool. And we just got a new website, so check it out:

All those thingys above these words are pages from my sketchbook this summer. I know I havent been posting, but it hasn't stopped me from drawing, or thinking of more film ideas.

In fact, Ive got another one on the way. Its called the Bermuda Triangle, and lotsa stuff happens in it.

For those who want to know, "Key Lime Pie" has been doing really well. So far its played at the Toronto International Film festival student showcase, The Montreal World Film Festival, Cinefest Sudbury, Ottawa International Animation festival, Barrie Film festival, and it will be playing at the Toronto After Dark Festival(http://www.torontoafterdark.com/) next wednesday Oct 24th, before the feature "Nightmare Detectives" at the Bloor Cinema, and the AFI filmfest in LA(http://www.afi.com/), as well as making an appearance in STASH DVD magazine for issue 38.

It picked up a best cinematography award at the TIFF student showcase, and 1st place in the most promising student category at the Teletoon scholarships. Overall the response has been really great..and more than anything, really encouraging.

Other than that, my summer was good...i moved to downtown Toronto, and I live with a tall Irish guy.
