Drawing and Painting on 16mm

For the first time, SassyTuna tried recording on 16mm (real) film, on May 16th, a couple of weeks ago. Last year we started some digital trials with green screen, and will have some of *that* content released in a few days. There is still lots of work to be done, but here are some photos to give you an idea of what was involved. The finished film took 14 people on site, and one whole day to set up and shoot, and will likely be a succinct 5-7 minutes when complete! Holy cow!

Birthday Parties...


Things have been VERY busy on the birthday front. . .
Here is a beautiful little video of Brennen's party:

This was a beautiful party, and the children were all so pleasant to spend time with.

It's pretty rare for me to have photos, since all the images go out of my hands...Last year I did just over 1000 images, and only have a few snaps to secure the reminder to myself that THAT many caricatures went out!

Post again in a couple of days! I gotta get on myself about this... :)

Sleep deprived and happy. . .


Here I am on the road, soon onto Italian adventures this summer! This photo was taken few hours ago, after a 4:30 am wake up in Halifax. Dr. Christine Hunt gave me a tour of the new NASCAD Port campus last night, what a beautiful place! There are HUGE clay kilns that are the size of elevators! The view is breathtaking as well, with the tall and long windows overlooking windmills, boats and the water.

Jenny and I will have some long-distance adventures this summer, as SassyTuna spans the Atlantic! I can't wait to see old friends and do some artwork under the sun!

This is Jenny MacDonald (right), the professional new addition to the SassyTuna Studio!
In addition to being a spunk-a-riffic girl, Jenny has all the patience required to tame the tizziest art party! Being so happy and enthusiastic, she is a real gift; here from Halifax, she fits right in! Look for more of Jenny's talent Summer 2009...YAY!!!
