10 49 pm pdt   [ I draw pictures. ]

We test our new product every day at work. One of my co-workers has brought in green screen footage, another works with 3D images she created, and a third uses generic images on the office computer. I draw. I draw pictures whenever I feel the urge. One day I made an animation of a sun and tree animating into the name of our product.

I love to draw. I love to create. I love that I have an opportunity to digitally doodle.

 easter egg After that, I made an easter egg, at the suggestion of one of the programmers. I do all these drawing with roto splines and am probably the only person who will ever tax the program in that way.

My most recent creation was a glass of margarita with a slice of lime on a wooden table. I tend to draw in a distinctly childlike style and I look forward to making further animations in the future. I would love to be able to do a half hour long piece created entirely by my hand, but I am still in search of a worthy story.

On a totally unrelated subject, I had a magnificent Indian meal for lunch today with Doyle. He is continually amused by how much pleasure a meal brings me, and the conversation is always flowing when we are together.

It stays warm in the evenings, which causes me trouble when I want to go to sleep. I feel a general vague physical discomfort which is compounded by the four bug bites I am now sporting.

Exhaustion has set in, as I stayed up much too late last night... But I am excited about what I will draw tomorrow...
