taffi -- 2013...

the results are in!  great weekend and great festival.  if you haven't been to TAFFI yet, i suggest you go next june.  i saw some great animated film screenings from both professionals, filmmakers and students, plus attended a slough of great workshops and panels from state of the industry addresses to how to take an idea from a napkin sketch to a fully produced series...i also ended up doing a run for some proper cigars for one david silverman, director of the simpsons for the last 24 years.  i'll tell that story another time..

one of the workshops that i attended over the weekend was an environmental drawing workshop from layout and design veteran, scott caple.  i was fortunate enough to speak at length with scott and i learned that not only is he a hell of an environmental artist, but a friendly person willing to make new friends in the industry.  seeing as i was at the festival partly to meet some new folks in my industry, it was nice for me to have been able to meet and chat with someone who's work i greatly admire...

here's a few scratches i did during the environments for animation workshop..
