Hello: Kimberly Hui '10

 

1. Your current location?
Sitting in NJ right now, but got a swank place in Boston.

2. The last thing you have eaten?
Sour green apple gummies.

3. How would you describe your work and/or style?
I like simple lines and color, totally into digital art so I love clean lines. Been told my stuff is cute... but not too cute.

 

4. What do you like to do when not working?
Press buttons and set high scores.

5. Favorite color?
Gun metal.

6. Who and/or what are some of your influences?
Love the work of Sam Miller and Jeff Matsuda. I dunno, I'm not really good with names, I've just got a folder of interesting artists in my browser bookmarks haha.

7. If you could work with another artist on a "dream project", with who and on what would it be?
I've always admired Dan Paladin's work on the games Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid, so it would be pretty amazing to work on a game with him or even with Behemoth Studios one day.

8. Last book you read?
I don't even remember, it was that long ago

9. A must see animation?
Crater Face by a CalArts student, Skyler Page

Admira Pustika AIB '05, "Berklee-line"

Very exciting! We have our first Alumni Animation post to share with you. John Casey, Animation Department Chair, has compiled an archive of shorts that we will soon be featuring on our AIB blog.

For starters, here is a really nice piece from Admira Pustik, '05 (blog interview). Admira graduated as an Animation major. The work is titled "Berklee-line", it's a one minute roto-animation of some of her jazz musician friends at Berklee.
