More Animation!

Hello, there!
 I've been having so much fun with animation, I feel like I'm in kindergarten. And that makes up for being stuck inside because it's so ridiculously cold outside.  I'm moving somewhere warm--it's official.  Probably California and then, eventually Hawaii, because I want to live atop a chain of massive underwater volcanoes and also be a Hawaiian surfer chick--two birds with one stone!  I love volcanoes because they are full of liquid hot magma and that's really warm. Also, Hawaiian lava is really smooth.  It's the pretty kind...Anyway, on to the fun art stuff that has been distracting me from the frigid, evil cold that haunts my waking life....Here are a couple of drawings I've posted before:

Spiral Arms, 2014

I loved both of these and they are actually part of one, continuous movement.  I needed to see it move, for real, so I whipped this up this week.  A bit rough, still, but I'm very happy with it!

I love it so much!  Animation is more fun than anything else!  It's like magic. :-)  I could geek out on here forever about how much I love it but I will spare you and move on....I realized that I posted the wrong video format last week and some people with macs couldn't see them.  Sorry!  so here they are, again, in case you missed it:

                                         

  I had a lot of fun with these sequences of movement and, of course, with the animation.  Ever since I was a little kid, when I see dance or opera or theatre I always think about drawing it and so it's been really fun and freeing to actually do this. And seriously, nothing is more exciting to me than seeing my drawings move in real life because I always see them move in my head...I'm excited to make more but I am focusing on these three for my show, so keep posted and you will get to see how I turn rough animation into fancy, smooth, clean animation.  They both have their charm. (:

Ugh, I just remembered it's -14 degrees outside.  This cold is so intense, I swear I can feel it creeping through my walls and into my bones.....  But now, sadly, I must don my polar gear and face the elements--it's alright though, I have a really cute outfit underneath the polar gear.  .....and I'm not afraid of you, Polar Vortex, 2.0! In fact, thank you, for making the summertime even more delicious.
  Thanks for the visit and if you are somewhere in the world that is warm, soak it up for all of use who can't right now!!! (I would totally do the same for you!)
Love, Bekaroooo!!!!
