GÆLEN MIBECK'S BLOG
From the monthly archives: May 2011
I’m not sure which one I like best. I have some ideas for a paper/wire armature type thing which I shall be blogging about soon.
In the meantime, check out peopletoo.ru for some amazing paper models.
In other news: I’m trying out Vimeo. I’ve posted a grand total of one (1) videos ;)
Yay! I posted something!
/pats self on back
This time I decided to try photographing a painting. This is mostly because of Smod ;)
I think I like the result better than a scan.
Please excuse my ignorance when it comes to the Japanese language. the characters on the flag are supposed to read “Butterfly”. knowing me, I probably messed it up ;)
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go watch Yojimbo.
My family watched Sanjuro last night. It’s a wonderful movie, and I highly recommend it. I think the Star Wars prequels would have been infinitely better had George Lucas based them off of Kurosawa films, like he did with A New Hope ;)
In other news, I recently purchased a Moleskine watercolor book. It’s just the right shape and size, it lays flat when you want it to, and the pages never come out on their own accord! Yessssssssss.
I was able to contribute some decorations for for this year’s 1920′s-themed homeschool dance.
Among these were:
A poster promoting the dance:
A silly variation of the British WWI recruitment poster:
And my little dig at Art Deco:
I also had the opportunity to play some Irish music with my uncle and a friend of mine. Among the tunes we played were: the Boys of Blue Hill, Chief O’Niell’s Favorite, the Star of the County Down, the Blarney Pilgrim, the Kesh, as well as a few others.
People have pointed out that I draw naught but robots. Robots are swell, but people are super.
If I did anything correctly here, it’s not my fault.
Matt Phelan, Anthony VanArsdale and Abigaile Haplin are to blame ;)
You know, ’cause two bots are better than one.
Yesterday was my parish’s annual 40-mile bike race. I spent two and a half hours biking along the highway, pleasantly conversing with a friend about Doctor WHO, LEGO, and stop-motion animation.
As to the actual outcome of the race, the rival team emerged victorious. At any rate; it was lots of fun, and raised a great deal of funds for the St. Thomas Aquinas Newman Center.
Happy Divine Mercy Sunday!
