How's everyone going out there? Me? I'm feeling pretty good, I guess. You know that feeling of relief when you get a pain in the arse job out of the way and it all goes smoothly, well that's where I'm at.
Yesterday I discovered that the photocopier at work also doubles as a scanner, so I scanned my way through my latest two sketchbooks and uploaded the pages to my website, so if you want to have a look head on over to neilsanders.com.au and have a browse. The drawings are mostly of Sketchy Friends style character ideas to entertain myself when stuck on trains, in meetings and places like that. Unlike most teachers who say you should always draw with a purpose, I've always just let the pen do what it likes and find I get more fun out of it and more interesting images as a result.
And in other news I did an interview about my approach to animation for a local Melbourne TV show that'll be on some time in the new year on channel 31. The show is aimed at 12-15 year old market, and is designed to help show the diverse possibilities of animation beyond anime and pixar and how various professionals work.
To keep myself sane while compiling the sketchbooks onto my site I've been watching japanese commercials, and here are some of my favourites.
