Waffsicle & Last Minute Trips


Piggybacking on AC’s post, I just wanted to take a minute to give a little bit more insight into what ‘Last Minute Trips’ is. The production company branded “Waffsicle” is owned by two filmmakers from L.A., Julien Solomita and Collin Duddy. Julien (who I’ll post about next time!) is a vlogger on his own channel, JSolo. Julien’s editing style and cinematography really brings together both his own vlogs and the Last Minute Trips series. As AC said, they literally throw a dart at a map. This past week, they took their last LMT of the year, the seventh installment of the series. This trip brought them to Bruneau, Idaho. What’s in Idaho? Potatoes? Yeah, probably. But this little town has sand dunes. Who would’ve thought? Sand dunes in the middle of Idaho? It’s certainly not something you think when you hear Idaho. I’d also like to add a little personal anecdote to this post — I had the opportunity to meet Julien and Collin! They took a ‘Not So Last Minute Trip’ down to Cottontown, Tennessee because Julien really wanted to go shoot the total solar eclipse back in August. My mom and I also went to a nearby town called White House to shoot and view the eclipse. So naturally, I was able to find them down there in the middle of nowhere. They’re really sweet and genuine people, and I’ll link both the eclipse video and the most recent LMT video below. Take some time to check them out, I think this series is one of the most unique things I’ve ever seen. :)

  1. This is definitely unique, but I totally dig it. Julien is one of my favorite youtubers! He's only seconded to Jenna ;) I've watched almost all of these videos, and I'm so excited someone else found them to be inspiring!

  2. I honestly would love to do this one day. Traveling the world is the best way to experience new things. These youtubers do it in such a unique way.

Last Blog Post

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.

Speed Painting

This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
