Okay I love my car. I loved her the day I bought her, back in 2000, and I love her now. Especially now because she is paid for. But having a car that is now eleven years old brings in the issue of repairs, and I am not talking about little issues. Today she did [...]

I have to say I was a bit surprised by the out come, not that the VFX in the Golden Compress weren’t impressive. Though you know that John Knoll deserved it for another great Pirate’s movie, but it’s just that ‘another’ Pirate movie as they won last year. Not to mention the guys at ILM and Digital Domain did an amazing job with Transformers. But [...]

Not sure why I get excited about the Academy Awards. I haven’t even seen most of the story lined artsy films. I am more a visual person. So if I go see a film in the theater it’s more incline to see it for the visual effects and not for some story. Television or movie [...]

The sixth class of John Brown’s dealt with ‘hands’. How they are the same as modeling any other part of the body, but you do need to pay attention to the multitude of curves the hands have. After that he pulled out fellow classmate Chris’ sculpture out to do a demo to remind us not [...]

Death and Taxes, no, Oscar and Taxes! As I walked over to get my taxes done over on Hollywood Blvd. I took some pictures of them setting up for the Academy Awards as they were literally carting in the red carpet.

a Model Weekend

Sculpting and modeling clay all weekend. It looked all wrong and ended up rearranging the tiger’s head and all four legs, still having a harder time making it ‘look’ exactly like a tiger.

My Bloody Valentine
Category: Personal Log | Leave a Comment
Very early in my life I fell victim to the broken hearted Valentine’s Day crowd. I was my first attempt to express my love to my crush at the time, Wendy Bown, and I wasn’t even in my teens. I biked all the way over to her friend Cathy’s house, about 12 miles, to give [...]
Steven Larson's Blog
Welcome to my personal blog, where I usually mention what I have done, events I have been to, stuff I have seen or possibly a thought or two. Its like my personal journal I keep for myself, but if you want to check it out, look at the pictures or watch my videos — feel free. My blog is mostly in a visual form with a little description tagged along with it, as I am not much of a writer.
Enjoy... though beware your about to enter the world of Steven Larson's Mind!
