Seattle Snowpocalpyse

Here in Seattle, we’ve been snowed in since last Thursday. We’ve gotten a total of nine inches, with another couple predicted tonight. In most cities, this would be no problem. However, the city of Seattle has about 25 snowplows – less snow removal capability the the SeaTac airport. Even as the city’s been warming up, the roads have been freezing again every night in to two inch thick sheets of ice. Between that, the city’s use of sand (not salt), and the fact that no one up here knows how to drive in the snow, we’ll probably be stuck here until New Years. Well, at least I’ve been staying useful.

I recently got myself a scanner (well, maybe it was an early Christmas present), and have been enjoying the heck out of it. I’ve gone through my old sketchbooks, finding interesting sketches to scan. I made one or two nice prints for people, recreations of early sketches of critters they now own. I’ll upload a few more sketches the next few weeks.

I also took the time to finally finish up another time lapse video. This the the video for the creation of “Conversation #3″. The music from the soundtrack to “Paprika”, a truly bizarre and spectacular anime movie by Satoshi Kon. I recommend going to youtube to watch the timelapse in higher resolution.

Of course, I haven’t just been spending the last week hard at work. I’ve also been relaxing, making and eating a number of cookies, sledding down our street on a piece of cardboard, and introducing our cats to snow.

Happy Holidays everyone!
