New York and New Work

I've been doing a lot more art work just for fun lately.  Here are some of the things I have made.

Bear 

(made in MS Paint Windows 7)

Benjamin the hippo

(made in Flash)

Sea Turtle

(made in Photoshop)

This is a looping animation I did one day while bored at work: http://www.themieshka.com/thing_guy.html

I've also been working on a freelance project designing characters for a TV show that is in development.

Here is the first character I designed.

"The Chief"

I designed a different character when I was first coming up with a style, but it turned out to not be exactly what they wanted. So I changed the style and the character I was working on. Here is the first one I came up with. I like it more.

I  did more exploring of New York, and got to see the Cardinals play the Mets at Citi Field.

View from Brooklyn Bridge.

Citi Field

More New York Adventures!

Hotdog Eating Contest was packed. I couldn't move from this spot for over two hours!

I saw two mullets in one day!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art consisted of more historical than modern art. Much better than the Museum of Modern Art. Also much easier to get lost.

Three layer Sarcophagus 

Old and awesome looking piano. Has actual ivory keys.

They had a lot of full suits of armor. Even full suits of Samurai armor.

Awesome African mask

View from the roof of the Museum

New Lego Store in Manhattan. 

I just happened to be near the Nintendo Store where there was a launch party for a new game. This is one of the game's characters. I got a free t-shirt.

This is the TV in the NBC studio store. It has to be over 100 inches and it is not a projector.

Rat on the train tracks.

I feel that I deserved a higher ranking than 70th but whatever. I like what I produced.

New York City (More Pictures)

Sunset in the City.

Bike Taxi. They are all over Times Square.

Subway car. Not at all crowded.

So, a Jew and a Buddhist walk on the subway...

This is my work corner. They call it the Zen Den. My desk is the closest one.

View from the102nd floor of the Empire State Building. Really Really Really high up.

Fish Market in China Town.

China Town.

I don't know what this is, but I like it.

This is a clock in the Financial District.

You can see the Statue of Liberty. The camera makes it seem further away than it really is.

Veterans Memorial. 

This is that place with the elevator to the Men In Black Headquarters.

Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman beating up some bad children.

New York City (Days 6 - 11)

This week I started my internship at MTV Networks. I'm on the 30th floor. Here's the view:

Here's some pigeons. 

I think these mark where police are. They look like Pokeballs.

I went to the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art. It was really neat. Here are some things they had.

Puppets from the Corpse Bride.

A frame from "Guard Dog" (one of my favorite short films)

A drawing of the Looney Tunes by Bob Clampett!

This Grand Central Terminal. It was big and packed with people.

This shows that I was on Madison Ave. Like Mad Men!
