Congratulations to Alvin and Lauren Aquino!

Congrats to the newly wedded Aquinos. It was a beautiful wedding on a perfect day in PEI. Here is a little painting Garrett and I did for the Alquinos. The idea was to capture the little "magic" moment. Hope we got it right, hahaha. Alvin and Lauren, I'll come visit you guys again, but I expecting to see the little ones.

WIP on a piece

Took a break on this for a bit to catch up on things and played some games. I will get back on this this week.

I've started going in more with the details, I'm taking my time, going to try and refine this as much as I can.

 Color thumbs

Thanks to Janice for pointing out that #2's focus is in the dead center, I thought I'll give #1 a try. So here is the tightened in verion of #1

  Picked #2, tightening in on the details

 

here is WIP on a piece, I will be updating on to this post

Brave - Merida

I finally got a chance to catch Brave in the theater. In my opinion it was not as good as I was expecting. It was not a Pixar caliber title. It had potential, the world was great, characters were great, animations were also great, but the story was just too straight forward. It was very predictable. I won't say much because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who havent had a chance to see it yet. ) Go watch it, if you haven't )

Joe Hisaishi

Miyazaki is awesome, he had brought the very best of Ghibli films. But it is easily to forget that there are many other people who also helped in bringing the magic to life. Joe Hisaishi was the composer on many of the Ghibli films which includes Totoro, Vally of the Wind, Mononoke, and Spirited Away. He is one of my hero of all time, I would only hope to go to one of his concerts (if there are still more coming) and meet him one day.
