11 Second Club try from Ryan Ortgiesen on Vimeo.

I didn't get too far on this months 11 Second Club character animation contest. The original concept was too have this small squirrel look up with a crazy look in his eyes after eating some of the forest mushrooms. At this point various woodland creatures would be dancing and playing musical instruments and the such with psychedelic eyes. I think I enjoy coming up with the concept and the jokes over the actual animation itself, that's why the 11 Second Club seems so boring.

StarWars Uncut Scene 72 from Ryan Ortgiesen on Vimeo.

I sent out a re-edit of my Star Wars Uncut animation for "The People Vs. George Lucas" film yesterday. If you're going to the South By Southwest festival check it out, especially look out for my clip.... because it's the best one.

A quick lil' Wacom painting of some rando at the Borders coffee shop. I really am starting to hate the people there. There's these two obese ladies who just so happen to be there every time I'm there and they bring there huge bag of crafts and trinkets and photos. They're basically bag ladies with money. Anyhow, they find it necessary to screech as many tables across the linoleum floor together and have there little arts and crafts time while complaining about other people they know with an essence of "why me?" in their attitudes. I need to get out of Gig Harbor.

I always assumed blogging was for huge pussies who needed to complain somewhere or for those other kind of pussies who find it necessary to explain the minute details of celebrities lives, but here I am. In my goal for being slightly more productive, I'm going to try to put up some sketches, writings, thoughts and videos. You know, pussy shit.
