Online Boardgame at TVOKids.com

The board opens as you play. You start with the center loop, then the volcano erupts forming another path, then the whirlpool opens up giving you access to the underwater stuff and the balloon comes in taking you up the cloud path. This was my first attempt at isometric 3D.

Here's the "Game Guide".

Grandfather

Haven't posted drawings for a while. Thought I'd post this photo of my Grandfather because it is so fantastic. Grandmother is behind the camera taking the photo.

Day 30-The Properties of Liquid Air

I came across this photo in a book of Canadian Photography. Taken in 1950, it depicts a U of T professor demonstrating the properties of liquid air. You can just see the reverence for science and teaching...I mean, he is wearing a 3 piece suit with a watch dangling from his pocket and an army helmet in case something should go wrong and he is spraying the first 3 rows of his class with liquid gas. In the photo, you can see the different states of liquid...first a giant cloud of gas followed by drops of water streaking out the other end. In the black and white photo, the water droplets almost look like embers flying off a fire. The blackboard is filled with equations and diagrams all written in perfect handwriting.

I found this clip on Youtube. Must be the same guy although he looked younger in the photo.

Day 19-Here comes the sun

I'll post more from the sketchbook next week. This is from the kid's art wall in the basement. I took a couple photos which were pretty terrible and under lit but with the Exposure Adjustment Layer in Photoshop, you can do some pretty crazy things. The previous image of the cloud was pretty much done with just a few Exposure Layers stacked up on top of each other and I used the chalk brush and layer masks to punch a hole through the layers. When did Photoshop add Exposure layers?...I love those.

Day 16-Memories of childhood drawings

When I think back to childhood drawings, I remember scenes of stick people  scattered all over the page shooting at each other. That was the joy of those little plastic green army men. You could set them all up in elaborate configurations. I also remember drawings that my Grandfather would do. He would be at the top of a hill with a cowboy had on, peeing on a little character at the bottom of the hill. Of course that little character was a GOOD-FOR-NOTHING-GRANDSON. My Grandfathers drawings were inspired by the type of humor in Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons.
