Ripley

I'm putting this here just to give it easier access to those who may be able to help.


One of my dogs, Ripley, ran away from my house on Tuesday, May 10th. She is a black labrador about 1-2 years old, she is spayed (cannot breed). She has what looks like a translucent white film on her right (your left) eye (it looks like it could be a sign of blindness but it is normal to her breed and does not affect her eyesight) and a flea collar. She will respond to "Ripley, come!" when spoken in a friendly tone and is very responsive to food (meat, cheese, bread). 
If you see her and call to her, please make sure you kneel and turn your body away from her while keeping an eye on her, this will further incline her to come towards you (if you also happen to have a tennis ball handy it will definitely help, she has a fixation on tennis balls). She was originally a rescue dog from a shelter in Boston, my sister got her but could not take care of her and gave her to my parents who didnt pay that much attention to her. Needless to say, she can be very shy of people, but she is not an aggressive dog. If she begins to growl if you approach, simply take a step back and do not look her dead in the eye but do not walk away. She has been given vaccines for rabies. 
She also suffers from hip displaysia so I'm worried that she might get hurt or may already be hurt and she has an ear infection that I have to give her medicine daily for. 
Please, if you have any way of helping me to find her and get her back home safely it would be greatly appreciated.

These photos were taken when she was 12 months old. She hasn't changed appereance much and they are the most recent photos I have of her.

Absence

Bah, I knew I'd forget to update this thing again for whatever reason.

Moved back to PR, got everything settled. Just have to finalize a couple of things with the apartment back in NYC and I'll be done with everything over there. Installed new HDD and added more RAM to my Macbook Pro and am thinking about getting an extra monitor to connect to it though that could just be me imagining the things I'd do if I had enough money.

Been trying to sketch regularly, figuring life out continues to get in the way.

I'll be putting up some of the sketches on here periodically.

Cheers.

Thesis Film - Belief

Hey guys. So I haven't posted anything in a while mostly because I've continued to be a lazy ass about doing anything creative or productive. I'm really hoping to fix that soon. 

I moved back to PR recently and am hoping the change in atmosphere will help me get the creative juices flowing again as it were. I'm going to be looking into what college programs there are over here to see if there is another degree I would want to get that could get me more stable employment. For the time being however, I'm going to try and get a part time job anywhere I can just so I can start earning and saving money. 

I'm posting my Thesis Year film from SVA titled "Belief" below. It's not done and I've been trying to motivate myself enough to actually do something with it, at least pick out some of the better pieces of animation in the film, clean them up and finish them to put them together in a reel to post on here and my portfolio website. Any feedback on the film is greatly appreciated tho I'm sure most of the people who watch my blog feed have already seen it. Credit should be given to the amazing Kat for her musical contribution to the film, if I get around to actually completing the entire thing I will definitely want to work with her again for the musical score. Thanks should also be given to my fellow Thesis companions for their support and all the crazy times we had working on our films and Shelley Low, a great friend and the best shoulder to cry on I could have hoped for for those times when I lost all hope in being able to complete the film or graduate. 

(Pardon the blurryness of the flm but it was the only way to be able to post it online considering the original file was somewhere around the 4GB file size line.)
