October 25 Peabrain and other neat stuff is moving!I haven't written in a while, because I've been drawing a comic (!!! more on that later) and then both Dogstar work (we're on our very last episode now! ending work Dec), and Porcelain work (to end shortly after dogstar too) are priority which takes up most of my other energy and time.
Plus, I've also been in the process of moving my blogging over to a new blog! as i wrote this one has always been temporary as I feel it's a bit hard on the eyes.
Thank-you to all who follow this blog, I don't know how many people do, but i just recently found out at least two mothers of people who know me, follow this, which was a wonderful surprise! I'm glad I didn't curse (too much).
okay, so my new webblog is-
pretty simple to remember yeah? my name with no spaces, and then blogspot dot com.
so I've just started from the beginning, with a heap of spooky doll kids art, old stuff, but as yet unseen. even Timothy didn't know of some of the artwork.
over the next 6 days i will keep putting project artworks up sequntially til present day.
so,
see you all there! September 12 Olive LollipopWhen Olive got tired from running around, or if she was just chilling out, she'd look like this. August 08 a cool favour causing lack of sleeplookat what i did.
pulling to model ("cleanup") by ME
of animation by Tim
and design and ownership of Rob.
An animation seq, for a film scene, for a directorwriter friend named Rob, for his shortlisted script, for a Project Greenlight.
goodluck to him cos it'll mean potential film work for us July 28 My first Spooky's film review!Look what i just found, this cool review From Fitzroy Shorts in Melbourne! thank-you!Spooky Doll KidsAnimator: Roseline Lau Tagline: A great funny & spooky short In this great stop-motion animated short, we follow the adventures of Brownie the gingerbread girl, Taboo the Voodoo doll and Scribble the paper kid. Someone has been eating Brownie in her sleep and she rushes to see Taboo for help. With his and Scribble assistance, they infiltrate a spooky cult to investigate and that’s where the story really takes off. I liked this short for several reasons, from the brilliant character designs to the excellent settings and storyline. One of the best things about watching shorts is that they give you the chance to see the early work of emerging artists and their collaborators before they get famous. After watching this short, I am sure the animator has a bright future ahead of her. Hopefully this short gest a wider audience and this is the first in a series of films featuring these characters. Rating: 9/10 July 27 this Friday in Manhatten, wave to Brownie.Check it out.
Rooftop Films NY plays my film this Friday. Tomorrow night! Manhatten! New York! it's still exciting to say that.
and they chose a cute promo pic of Brownie to put on the page, take a look;
Due to the short notice and everything that's been going on here work and rabbit wise, I haven't been able to organise a trip there in time. :(
I will try and see if I can get in contact with someone there who might record it on camera for me. the next best thing than to being there in person with the audience.
July 23 My best little friend OliveOlive 28-7-2000 to 22/7/2006
the best digger in the world
she made the best tunnels and holes
the quickest bite ever
she wasn't afraid to tell me where to go if I annoyed her
the most forgiving friend
even if I forgot to feed her on time, she was never mad at me
the most trusting creature
she hates being carried, but would still run to me for a pat, after I had to catch her for one reason or another
the most affectionate bunny rabbit ever
she wouldn't stop nudging my hand for a pat, and even preferred head pats over food.
the quirkiest rabbit habits ever
like throwing sticks in the air with her mouth, chewing and tugging at jeans and shoelaces,
the funniest athelete
she liked jumping up in the air, jumping in and out of her hay box, darting superfast from corner to corner, rolling on her back like a cat, lying flat as a pancake when she was out of breath from running around too much.
the cutest angry face
she didn't have soft eyelashes, but instead her eyes always looked naughty and bratty
the most loyal buddy
she knew me, and would follow me around. and come entusiastically whenever I called her.
I'm sorry you had to go Olive, I thought you'd be around for another two years.
and I'm sorry you struggled to breath so much in the last few hours. I'll miss you badly little buddy.
July 10 Spooky's In New York!Just when I thought I didn't get Spooky Doll Kids into any more festivals, and it got rejected from all the New York festivals I sent it to, I got this very cool email one morning last week. "Dear Roseline— This is Dan Nuxoll, Program Director for Rooftop Films. Sorry about the late notice, but It gives me great pleasure to tell you that Rooftop Films would like to screen "Spooky Doll Kids" as part of the 2006 Rooftop Films Summer Series. Your film will be screening on Friday, July 28th, on the lawn of Open Road Park in the East Village area of Manhattan. "

Bask in the superness of these little kids!
The teacup on is based on my real rabbit Alice. and the hotdog rabbit reminds me of my little brat rabbit Olive. The balloon cat is inspired by Timothy's clothes (we went shopping in the city Friday evening). June 05 Litle Red Socks KittyTrying to finish animating that long Doll shot...
Meanwhile, funny red cat. June 01 Spooky Dolls in Monster Exhibit = POOHPOOH
(after driving down there and taking time off work, me and Tim arrived to find)
IT WAS CANCELLED!!!
My Spooky Doll Kids have been invited to another screening which is good because the festival film life is starting to get old, they're almost two years old!
Tomorrow, Friday 02 june 2006, at 2.30pm, in the Perth Museum of Western Australia, the Old Goal Coartroom.
Whoo! it's a free screening and I don't think there will be many people there. but I've saved up time at work to take a break and mosy down to the musieum and sit amongst whatever audience there is. Must remember to bring my camera this time.
May 28 161 downworking so hard, just finished another shot. took all day too (inbetweening and colouring, sheesh) May 21 card for mumI've been SO tired lately. can't stop yawning. more coffee. headaches.
After work, I can't even bear to turn on my computer, let alone sit in front of it for more than 15 minutes to get some Porcelain work in. Pooh.
Whenever it's a birthday, or a season holiday for giving, I sometimes like to make my own cards for my family and occasionally friends. I never know what I'm going to draw up, and i think i have nothing, but by the end it usually turns out pretty neat. Here's the one for my mum last Sunday. April 30 purple tailsAt work I was animating Boombah's tail, and it went purple, and so in response to something exciting Tim said, I replied "purple tail!", and Timothy pointed out it sounded like something Brownie would curse when something goes wrong.
So here's Brownie being domestic.
On the Porcelain front, it's been flowing easily and I'll be through the two major sequences for the apartment scene by mid-week. I've been drawing all the clean keys out all weekend. April 23 Demons and Rabbits, but not Demon RabbitHere's a sketch i did last week, exercising Demons. (yeah i took that off now. I'm keeping that for myself)
I'm in the middle of doing two long shots for Porcelain apartment scene, to be done by this weekend. and we have two meetings for discussing progress this week...
...and here's some rabbit pictures. New 2yr old Alice (the white one), and just to be fair, my 4 year old brat rabbit Olive too....the black one March 30 spacing out on couchthis takes out two more shots.
Thanks guys and girls who follow this Porcelain work March 27 hmm havent updated in awhileyep, haven't updated in awhile.
But who checks?
and no you don't count Tim. here it is for you anyway.
Doll by me, background sketch by Timothy Merks.
