London Sketch-crawl, October 2012

 Yesterday me and Magnus took a 2 and 1/2 bus ride to London to meet the rest of the sketch crawl dudes. I had a great time, possibly one of the best sketch-crawls I've ever been to!! :) It was really nice catching up with friends and also meeting some new people while sketching.. It was also supposed to be the world's Zombie day(?) but was not fortunate enough to see any zombies. Can you imagine?! Come on London you're supposed to have lots of crazy people! I was so expecting a zombie parade!

Τειρεσίας

A few more character doodles for Teiresias, trying out a different stylistic approach..

some more character exploration for Project Teiresias, looking for interesting silhouettes and shapes. Stay tuned for more Teiresias stuff!

We got our first nomination!

My joint grad film Holy She*p got its first nomination in the 'best student film' category at the 'TOFUZI' International Festival of Animated Films in Georgia. Well done team sheep, and a big thank you to the people that helped and of course our main characters: Agnes the nun and Achilles the sheep :))

Fundraising

my contribution to a fundraising event of a friend and mentor who is running a half marathon on behalf of the WWF to raise money and help in saving the animals (and in particular the panda)! We were asked to illustrate an animal of our choice and all the artwork is being sold on: http://www.etsy.com/shop/therunningpanda

Good luck Matt! :)

"Dear Kat, thanks for taking a break! Lots of love, Your body!"

Long time no post! I have been very busy with graduating, helping with the grad show, BFI, moving and sorting out my MA applications and house for next year... rushing to Norway for a wedding and now finally back in Cyprus for the rest of the summer! I took a couple of weeks off, doing absolutely nothing, mostly catching up with family. My body (still trying to recover from a very VERY intense third year) has been very grateful for this :)  ...feeling a bit lazy now and should start getting back into doing some work. I have some personal projects on the way which I feel very excited for!!

these sketchbook pages are just something to get the blog up and running again.. Tom and Ricky are two of the Calarts students we met in Annecy while queuing for a screening.Well, we didn't make the screening after all but these guys were fun and nice to talk to! Good luck u guys, hope to see u again!

Something different and a little bit random :)

the film is finally done, Annecy is over and I can finally take a break and paint something just for fun. I wanted to try something different and maybe a bit less stylised than what I usually paint...

Project Teiresias.

I've started working on a personal project... its developing very slowly due to the overload of uni work for the grad film, but I will hopefully get somewhere with it.. soon

a small teaser from the look of the film..

Bike Ride -A Tribute to UPA

Sooo...this is a little something I did outside uni work,  a small tribute to the very stylised UPA and 50s cartoons, inspired after reading Amidi's Cartoon Modern (amazing book).
