Pregnant Life Drawing

It's been over 2...well let's just say too long, since I did some life drawing. I have to dust off the cobwebs and get back into "high focus" form. But all in all, it is like meditation and sprinting at once, when I get into it; remembering that is like the caveman sparking his flint. I imagine it never got old.
I'm excited to have found a few spots in Copenhagen where I can let the pregnant inspiration that I've been incubating for some time begin to breath. 2010 is a whole new decade. And like Harvey Pekar said in "American Splendor" (I just saw the flick): "Tomorrows a new deal, right?"
So whatever I want out of the next 24 hours, the next 7 days, or the next 12 months, I can reach for it. I look forward to seeing what I find at the end of my hand, and what it might teach me about myself and how I relate to the world. Hopefully someone else will be effected by it in one way or another.

Last weeks session consisted mainly of poses lasting between 2-5 minutes each. I probably should edit down the pics, but really this blog has always been about keeping a record for myself, not the hordes of readers that follow it.

Big hug,
Bigfoot

Last weekend I cranked out some comps for a possible gig that would've been a fun experiment. Unfortunately we didn't get a green light, but maybe I'll apply this to something for myself.

Here's some videos that we're referencing when describing how it moves(I wrote the following for the A&R of the band to guide their imagination)....

M.I.A. "Boyz" (WATCH FOR Animation of shapes, effects, lines and
patterns here is sort of the idea we're going for: handdrawn, quick)

Los Campesinos! "We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives" (WATCH FOR The
aesthetic of the "by hand" look is reflected in this video)

Gotye "Hearts A Mess" (WATCH FOR Minute 2:09 and onward...the
background sky time-lapse photography is what Anton(the live-action director) is after for our
background, or similar effect)

Basement Jaxx "My Turn" (WATCH FOR Textures and more blending of
Live-action and Animation)

These were designed with the dark bg color at first. Once I put a white bg under them, the shading won't work with three levels of light and shadow, or at least i'll want to tweak it on the white bg to make the hilights read better.
