SKETCHBOOK

Some studies for Tom Margarites..for a sculpt..

We saw THOR last weekend....in 3-D yet. I was hearing some good things about it.. After about 10 minutes of the film, I wanted to take THOR's hammer and throw it through the screen! The women characters were especially dumb with lines like "They took my Ipod. I just down loaded thirty songs on it." So funny...I forgot to laugh. The CGI effects lost their appeal very early on and don't even remember what the film was about. Awful! I am glad I went though...at least I know not to buy the BLU RAY when it comes out.

ANIMAGIC from my FAQ book!
