Below is a small selection of the THOUSANDS of photos that I've already taken of him. He was just over 8 lb's in weight, and was born in a waterbath. Trippy as hell!!!!<br />

I woke up this morning at 5.50 am to watch a live Tech support Q&A with Kevin Freeman. Most of the topics were slightly over my head, but I stuck on in there. He did let it slip that he animated Spiderman and the Silver Surfer. (Crumbs!)<br />Anyhoo, a little ahead of schedule, I've uploaded my week 2 Assignment. (Go to a public place, draw people, then re-create 1 pose with the 'Stu' character.)<br />The reason I'm a little ahead of shedule, is that Sophie, my girlfriend, is 2 days short of being 9 months pregnant. So, as my next week could pottentially be a tad challenging, I thought I'd get the work done at the earliest opportunity.<br />Here's what I uploaded;<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLJVpmsMQY0U3HIHQ4C7et60Scjvn4P22pRC3kT0ct4LIvbVTEGageyPvPSMwVZAGfX5RCfSK1qoKlxoux98k4zPWOiwg5kg_iAbaqC4xq3QrGOmhYgV2fsMzWbFbTk5j8bcWcauBqlzc/s1600-h/Sketches.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLJVpmsMQY0U3HIHQ4C7et60Scjvn4P22pRC3kT0ct4LIvbVTEGageyPvPSMwVZAGfX5RCfSK1qoKlxoux98k4zPWOiwg5kg_iAbaqC4xq3QrGOmhYgV2fsMzWbFbTk5j8bcWcauBqlzc/s320/Sketches.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119645337705526114" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilpaAz92Q0Y-YH7rm3YwleoTGDyLRcWn2epOxGphp6h5a_GBDQdoyHRG-fruKhF1vewU_WUKwAahIkTqzNCt4HGH4cZ_Qnskx_kmMLmGdDIm0mFGmIMMYGJsfL5IAouT3exm2SUJAWhD8/s1600-h/Stu_Pose_11.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilpaAz92Q0Y-YH7rm3YwleoTGDyLRcWn2epOxGphp6h5a_GBDQdoyHRG-fruKhF1vewU_WUKwAahIkTqzNCt4HGH4cZ_Qnskx_kmMLmGdDIm0mFGmIMMYGJsfL5IAouT3exm2SUJAWhD8/s320/Stu_Pose_11.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119645337705526130" /></a>Ben Krolickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17660126050701364456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397787374376663482.post-85879648383725047622007-10-01T17:22:00.000+01:002007-10-09T15:09:01.262+01:00Monday 1st OctoberOk, I'm a bit new to all this blogging lark, but I'll give it a shot.<br />I'm commencing Animation Mentor today, so now's a good a time as any to start this whole ball rolling. (Or bouncing...)<br />I've watched all the orientation videos. I've checked out all the Maya training videos and I've also had a few emails from some of my fellow classmates.<br />I think it all starts for me tonight. 8 o'clock to be precise. As London's 8 hours ahead of California, I think they'll be loads of new info when I log on at 8.<br />The 1st few assignments seem pretty easy, but it all goes a little crazy after that. I watched a video on the AM site of a lad who wa holding down a full-time job, had 2 kids and was half way through the AM course. He looked totally exhausted. As I'm expecting my 1st child any day now, and I've got a full-time job, this all scared the sh*t out of me.<br /><br />Oh well, I'll keep you all posted as I go on.<br /><br /><script language=javascript type="text/javascript" src="http://ss.webring.com/navbar?f=j;y=benkrolick;u=defurl"><br /></script><br /><center>Powered by <a href="http://dir.webring.com/rw" target=_top>WebRing</a>.</center>Ben Krolickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17660126050701364456noreply@blogger.com0
