Digital Experimentation

Bon soir! And like I promised... here is the image dump from the last couple months! I've been experimenting a lot, trying to find something I am comfortable working with.

I did this study of my neighborhood in LA as a way to build up my digital painting knowledge.

Donut fall in love with her.
She will devour your soul!

A little fun self portrait I did, haha.

This next batch is a fun bunch I did testing out a new Photoshop brush.

My Newest Stop Motion Demo Reel is up!

Hey there! I'm just going to plug my current reel here and break it down (very) briefly below.

Hope you enjoy! Feel free to contact me about any jobs you would like to collaborate on or perform for you.

Reel Breakdown:
Essentially, everything in my current reel are all projects that I directed, produced, edited, composited and built from the ground up. The only shots in my reel where I only did the animation, are the shots that include the 'mad scientist' from the music video I worked on "Baby It's You!"

Hello everyone!

This is just a general update on things, since I have been a little busy.

I recently made a facebook page for my art (CLICK HERE),

and it'd be splendid if you joined me over there!

I had a show with RAWartists August 1st.

I met a lot of cool people! It was a lot of fun too. I had prints, posters, DVDs, and paintings for sell… as well as displaying some of the puppets I used in “Dung!” and “Byrd VS Gravity.” My girlfriend Paige really helped me out by “manning” the Laptop and Ipad (that were constantly looping my animated shorts). 

It was nice because they screen 9 minutes worth of my animation around 11 PM on the main stage as well. The girl Leigh told me it was the biggest response they’ve ever had for a filmmaker (kinda cool!). Glad I attended this event.

On a side note… I am starting to sell my art more.

I DO have DVDs for sale "Short Animations by Rob Sassi"... which can be purchased through me with Paypal or in person. $10 each.

I am also open to do some commissions, as I am going to need to make some extra money soon. I might do a post about this separately at some point… would anyone be interested in commissioning me to do some work? I can figure out styles/price ranges sometime soon if so, to show the options I can provide.

Working on a new print series, while SLOWLY, but SURELY getting my pattern sewing done on my puppet.

But really... it's not THAT bad.

The goal is to start animating in about two weeks... we'll see!

I hope you're excited like I am! I will be posting some art in the next day or so, so stay tuned and don't forget to like my FB fan page!!!
