Wes Price submits his portfolio for medical illustration certification

One of the many requirements to receive certification as a medical illustrator is to submit a portfolio containing 8 pieces of medical art and/or animation.

Featured here from that portfolio is an animatic produced as a collaboration with Dr. Maizels of the CEVL group. This is a work in progress that utilizes a unique, stop motion animation created during the 2010 AMI conference in Portland Oregon.

Check out the other pieces, plus a detailed narrative, from this link.

Posted a little late, Dragon Tattoo created by Wes Price for Halloween

I thought it worth posting. My medical illustration colleague Annie Gough entrusted me with crafting a custom dragon tattoo for her Halloween costume, of course, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo! She drew the original and I used black and red sharpies to emulate and elaborate on her original design.

Wes Price featured on the Boulder Digital Arts Website

I'm also a freelance teacher all along the Front Range of Colorado. Some of my clients include Photographers, Videographers, Stylists, and Illustrators who are looking for specific, custom training in various artistic software. For Instance, you could take one day class in Adobe Illustrator or Adobe AfterEffects with me at the Boulder Digital Arts center located in Boulder, Colorado. Check out my colleagues and their interviews here. Mine is about three-quarters of the way down the page, we're listed in alphabetical order.

New Logo Design by Wes Price for a children's Tipi company

Just wrapping up the freelance year here in Colorado. I got a call from an old friend who needed a logo designed for her new venture in children's tipis called "Little Turtle's Tipi" based out of Bozeman, Montana. As always, I started with a page of thumbnail sketches, then we narrowed it down to certain idea in which we added type and then color. Check out the website at www.littleturtlestipi.com.

New ASIFA-CO site!

ASIFA-Colorado has a brand new website!

Check out the all new asifa-colorado.org, brought to you by members of the Pebble Casserole. We hope to be adding a lot more content and features in the coming weeks. Also, rumor has it that Casserolers will be terrorizing the Starz Denver Film Festival for the next two weeks or so. Sightings are highly possible at the Animation Station workshops & competition, hanging out with Johnnie Walker at the Filmmakers' Lounge, late night showings of avant garde films about hallways, and possibly even the world premiere of Not Your Typical Bigfoot II: The Legend of Curly's Gold. At this time these are only rumors...you'll have to show up to find out for yourself.

GI JOE STOP MOTION!

NO, it's not Robot Chicken! It's a stop motion I'm creating for the 4th Annual GI Joe Stop Motion Film Festival based in Denver Colorado. I started creating it in conjunction with an ASIFA-Colorado workshop we delivered as part of this year's festival. Anyone who has ever used a computer to complete a complicated task should know how this hapless character feels!

Adventures in Medical Stop Motion: The Workshop!

Here are the results of a successful stop motion workshop I delivered to the Association of Medical Illustrators 2010 conference in Portland, Oregon. Pay particular attention to the first animation where a surgical towel comes to life after an ill fated suture accident. This was a collaboration with Dr. Max Maizels of the Childrens Memorial Hospital in Chicago. We are experimenting in creating an animation that would teach good knot tying and suture habits. Others who participated in the workshop include Medical Illustration professionals and students.
