Ignite Set Backdrop


Leaves!

I finally figured out how to make the leaves for my tree trunks, and I'm pretty pleased with the results! They are made with a scrapbooking paper punch and I'm using a variety of tissue and craft papers.

Ignite Maquettes

I sculpted these concept maquettes back in October for the In Between show. Now they are going to be displayed at the CCA Animation Exhibition from Feb 4-16 in the College Ave Galleries! I added some more detail to them and gave them a proper photoshoot.
