Speech Self Critique

Finding a balance with the audience's attention was the hardest thing to do. Too much going on, like playing my demo reel and talk at the same time was too overwhelming. Where people are looking has to be singular and obvious. Staring at one thing to too long eyes get restless and distracted. A slideshow would have added a lot to the presentation as well. Stills of my home town, my first drawing and my mean uncle as I remember him growing up would have made a hug impact. The biggest problem I had was my ending. Going out with a bang makes a huge difference.

Artist Lecture Jackson Martin

Jackson Martin was very personable. I related well to him probably because he's younger. His art and presentation contained a lot of humor which made the entire experience more interesting. The first slide he presented was of him as a baby living on a hippie commune with his parents. His dad didn't have a shirt on and had a giant beard hanging down. Everyone in the crowd chuckled immediately.
He began as a performance artist and became a fine artist later, which I find strange. He also seemed to be constistant in his materials and subject matter. Most of his pieces contained living plants, glass, and mirrors. His funeral for the two way mirror I think is brilliant and hilarious. Great talk just in general.

Traveling Fellowship


I would like to travel to animation festivals in Spain to get expand my style and experience. Spain in particular is incredibly diverse. Influences range from unexpected magnificent mosques to the classic flamenco dancers. It's diversity makes it the most interesting and ideal destination.

Not only will the festival include works created from multiple countries but the location itself provides a physical example for a well rounded cultural experience.
