Last night I went to see Ponyo, Hayao Miyazaki’s latest creation that he has presented to the world. We (My brother, his best friend and me) decided to go to the midnight show and it was great. Ponyo is the perfect children’s film that adult can also enjoy. As many of you know I a huge fan of Hayao Miyazaki’s films and love watching them over and over, and that means that I might just have to go watch it again because the story is amazing and the animation is great too.

As you can tell from the last few posts I’ve been watching a lot of films and writing my opinions, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have other things to do lol. For the past three days I helped in a Solarplate workshop at Open Press, Open Press is a fine art printmaking Facility owned and run by Mark Lunning. Website: http:// www.openpressltd.com/
And on top of that have my shift at the bookstore that I’m currently working at. Plus I’ve been reading and working on new piece of art on and off, entered a deviantART contest.



When I actually find the time to take the picture of the dress I finished about two weeks ago I will post an entry about that. Besides that everything is wonderful, went to Echo Lake here in Colorado with my mom and it was beautiful to see. Here is a panoramic view of the lake that I took. Hope you enjoyed :D

Grave of the Fireflies.

Today I saw the saddest film; it touched my heart and made one think about how valuable life is and how the people you love can disappear from your life forever. What made me watch Grave of the Fireflies was that it has been on my list of films that I’ve wanted to see for a long while and I’ve finally got the chance to get a hold of it and watch it. If you haven’t seen it and are interested I would defiantly recommend it even though it’s really sad to watch (I cried through half the film that is how touched I was by it). I can’t really say anything more about because everyone forms their own opinion and for this film you have to see it to actually get the full experience of what an amazing story it is.

Directed by Isao Takahata
Based off of Akiyuki Nosaka novel.
