Be back soon!

Story Time Confessions Art

Popped my flash drive in today and came across the production drawings I did for Story Time.

Haha, as you'll notice, there's not a whole lot...it was pretty weird, this animation. The first drawings I did were these

In fact it's the ONLY drawing I did of the Wolf Mama before I started animating haha! Pretty much just like "Ok. That looks good I guess. Let's do this."

It was nice! No fuss! Though I don't really think this method can work for many animations. Story Time is pretty lazy though. I am pretty lazy. I don't even feel like typing anymore. m lzy.

Have some pictures.

(ew what is that ugly beast in the orange hoodie)

Oh yeah, originally I was going to draw myself with an actual recording set. Then I remembered I am lazy, much too lazy to figure out how to borrow proper recording equipment from CalArts, and pulled my iphone out of my pocket instead.

~*~*~*SECRET CRUSHES*~*~*~

I'm now living in an apartment with three other girls, one of whom just got engaged!

As you might imagine, a lot of girl talk goes down.

So I was asked,

"Hannah...what is your type anyway?"

I.....

don't know?!?!?!

So I think it's time for some analysis.

How does one figure out her type? By taking a look at the dudes she digs, right?

or that bewitching laugh

MY TYPE:

a farming, singing, dancing, preaching, sweater wearing, rapping, smokin', and possibly green specimen of a man

does such a heavenly fellow even exist

Tumblr!

Tumblr is all the rage! I guess I better get with the program.

Here it is!

Hopefully I'll be uploading lots of doodles and sketches! And then uploading blogspot with more...complete...stuff...I guess?

Oh, I don't know. Let's just roll with it.

(First post - Gastelbrau and friends)

doodley poops

It's summmmeeerrrrrr!

Time for a strange assortment of poopy pen doodles!

...Yes. This is fanart....of exactly what you think it is.

So I'm gonna need you to stop judging me right now and just acknowledge the fact that David Bowie in a fantasy mullet and tight pants is horrifyingly beautiful (but mostly horrifying)

Cow lady! Obviously BFF with Chicken Mama

Adam & Eve? (warning: pre Genesis 3 butts)

My professor, Niki Rousso-Schindler and classmates from her summer school class on food anthropology. Also an animal crossing guy.

Aaaaaand....

Return of Gastelbrau!

I really really loved making Gastelbrau. Ever since making it I've been wanting to continue with it, too. I have a lot of ideas! I would love to make some books or comics.

More vampires! Baby Gastelbrau! (And that's not an older Gabi!)

Seasonal outfits!

and of course...WEREWOLFS! Who didn't see that one coming? It's against the laws of media to have presence of vampires and not eventually have a werewolf show up. Stephanie Meyer knows what I'm talking about.

That's all for now. Peace out! Stay hydrated!

Austrian Dumplins'!

I am taking a summer school class about food anthropology. For my mid term I was to read about the fascinating AUSTRIAN DUMPLING! And make a presentation. So prepare yourself for some dumpling facts.

There's a certain idea of male strength and masculinity tied to dumplings...

Women say that men expect meat and dumplings as often as possible. Some dumpling recipes are even noted as important for a woman to be able to make them to attract a man! Even though the ingredients are simple enough, a meal with dumplings, meat and gravy is time consuming and labor intensive...and that just won't do for the modern Austrian lady on-the-go.

Though their roots are in home-cooking, these days dumpling production is pretty industrialized and can be found readily available in grocery stores and restaurants. Way to go, modern civilization!

Dumplings are usually named after their place of origin. There are many names and types (none of which I will ever attempt to pronounce) such as...

defining a few different types of dumplings:

Yup! 

Dumplings.

Veggie kids

Children. Vegetables.
Just wanna chop em all up and throw em on a salad.

lil peas

For a while now I've been absolutely and shamelessly and distractingly addicted to following the food bloggery revolution going on in the internet world...

I'd have to say my favorite is Mama Pea's blog--no one has inspired me more to become a vegetarian/vegan more than she! Not only are her recipes creative and delicious looking, her writing is hysterical!

And to top it all off she has two adoooooooooorable little girls

Lulu + Gigi!

These two are the cutest and funniest little things, and as you might have noticed that I generally like to draw cute little things, I ended up doin' this little internet stalkery doodle

If you are a fan of delicious and healthy food and/or would like to be entertained and endeared go check out her web site!

PEKE POWER

three-toed ayoubi

love is dumb, like this drawing

Eros & Psyche

Why am I posting this? I don't even like this. I don't even like Valentines day. Once you stop making shoeboxes with glitter and stickers and buying Tiny Toons Valentines cards sets it's just not fun anymore. BAH HUMBUG

More chickens

More chicken folk

(Would this be considered cannibalism...?)
