Hello all, this week I wanted to share with you some of the background paintings used in my favorite movie, Kiki's Delivery Service. This movie was a Studio Ghibli film made back in 1989, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. I decided to dedicate my blog post to this not only because it has personal meaning to me, but also because the art for it is simply breath taking, just look at it!! Something that I really love about animation is that studios will often merge traditional mediums with the animation. These backgrounds are hand painted, and I think that it really gives the films their own individual atmosphere and tone, especially when mixed with the beautiful soundtracks composed by Joe Hisaishi. 
I'll just drop this song here as a bonus to my ridiculously long post... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJbkkibYA54
If you ever want to relax, I highly recommend listening to some of his music!!

    I love the outlines of shapes, especially when they're done in white, it gives the image an in interesting, almost disconnected feeling.

    I love how these are actually painted with precise detail in every object. It makes it even more interesting and breadth taking!

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways....  The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Bye For Now DMA

      Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
