2 storyboarding panels for an excerpt from Der Ring des Nibelungen:
"Having completed his apprenticeship to a blacksmith, Siegfried, son of Siegmund, king of the Netherlands, sets out for the court of King Gunther of Burgundy at Worms. On the way, he encounters a fearsome dragon, which he slays with a sword. Bathing in blood of the dying dragon, Siegfried makes himself invincible -- apart from one spot on his back which is covered by a leaf."

i had an eye exam today. for the second half of the examination, the doctor applied dilating drops, telling me my eyesight would be "shot" in a few minutes. he wasn't joking! fifteen minutes later, my vision was completely blurred. i finished the exam, and (somehow) rode my bike home. i thought it might be interesting to do a little drawing experiment with this altered state of vision. five hours later, when i could see again, this is what i found...

Balance : Christoph and Wolfgang Lauenstein (1989)
"The setting is on a floating platform where a group of evenly and carefully placed men live. Each man is aware that the platform is not stable and in order not to fall to their deaths, they maintain a careful balance of weight to prevent the platform from tipping too far and cause them all to fall. This reasonably harmonious understanding is lost when one man pulls up a heavy trunk. In the ensuing struggle, balance is lost in more than one sense."
won the 1989 academy award for animated short film.

i like the phrase "it's me". it says you're familiar. of course, these days with called ID, it's become redundant.

i had a driving test today. in the pouring rain. in a manual drive rental. the first stop sign i came to i rolled -- the tiniest bit. of course, i was noted for it. apparently, as the instructor told me, this maneuver is called "the california roll". i thought of sushi. i like sushi.

generally, i don't miss the rain, but sometimes i do miss running in it -- along the seawall, the water reflecting the moody grey skies of the pacific northwest. sea lions, herons, and beavers keeping me company.
