SKETCHING AT 600 MILES PER HOUR

So Ben Balistreri planned a trip to the Chino Air show last weekend and said we were going to look at cool planes and eat like kings. I brought my sketch pad and attempted to sketch planes as they were taxiing, taking off, flying , and landing. The show was awsome. At one point there were 26 World War 2 planes (Including Japanese Zeros) all in the air at the same time. It was an insane sketching challenge. I never had time to look down at my paper so these sketches are as raw as they come. Doing a blind sketch of an F18 flying bye at 600 miles per hour will loosen you up real quick!

That's pretty amazing that you were able to pull these off as accurately as you did with them moving around. I have the most terrible time with quick pen sketches of moving subjects.

Hey Shane, sorry to muck up your comments, I just wanted to say hello (and couldn't get through to your email :). I met you a few years back at your parents' house for thanksgiving- my name is Ryan Ehrenberg, I was an animation student at the Art Institute of OC.

I just wanted to say hello and show you my 3D short when you have the time. I made it back in late 2005, for graduation. You can see it here:

Shane...

It's been a long time since I've seen ya, but I have been thinking about you a lot lately. Likely because Naaman's birthday is coming up and also because Ratatouille is coming out and I always think of you when I see cartoons. I wish you worked for Pixar, 'cause I am John Ratzenberger's Marketing Director, and I am pretty loyal. Although, I do love Dreamworks animation to a lesser extent. ;) I was hoping to find a better way to reach you, but it seems you are the only person on earth without a myspace? Anyway, I'd love to hear from you, so feel free to email me anytime.

Kindest,

Anyway err on abercrombie Outlet the side of caution and choose the abercrombie and fitch larger size. If the abercrombie sale size 20 blouse is too big, but abercrombie & fitch the size 18 is too small, choose abercrombie the larger blouse. This will enable you to have it fitted. A seamstress or tailor abercrombie uk can't do anything with a garment that's too small abercrombie london -- he or she can, however, tailor a garment abercrombie and Fitch Polo that's too big to fit you to a T.Most plus size abercrombie Polos women's clothing will fail to fit one particular part of her body.
