Photos from the Titmouse Iitzadoo Halloween Party 2015

Check out this glimpse of the mayhem at Titmouse Animation studios this Halloween. I helped decorate, brought in the food, provided equipment, painted masks & worked on the Iitzadoo maze, it was a very fun time. Everyone seemed to love it! I'll post a video soon of people coming out of it. Halloween is my favorite time of year, and projects like this are just perfect for the creative juices!

Kudzu -the Beverly Hills Photographer


This was a collaborative effort with Lightenupandshoot Mikey a few years back.
Mikey has always had a comical twist to his instructional videos, so we decided to expand on
his natural talents and make some skits. His ad lib skills turned out to be awesome and came in very handy.
I was in charge of shooting the videos, styling, props and I helped brainstorm the gags. I hope you enjoy. Kudzu is the hardest rootin' tootin' photog who handles "High Noon"
lighting like he tames a bucking bronco, let's see more of that cowboy!
Starring the fabulous Maria Ortega, our fashion maven.

Please go to Seed &  Spark and check out "Changa and the Jade Obelisk" animated project.  Consider supporting this awesome crowdfunder so it can go into pre-production.  Milton Davis has created an amazing world of Sword and Soul with his novels series Changa Safari. The plan is to animate his colorful rich vision, but help is needed.  Your support is critical. If you are unable to support with a donation,  consider sharing the project with your followers.

"Empire" Emmy event at The Grove~May 2015

"Empire" has been such a surprise success, and no wonder. It's like a Dynasty for the music industry. Very fun indeed. They have been very generous and have had 3 separate events to celebrate the success of their show. This was their last party for the 1st season and what
is extra lovely is they like to perform too, not just do Q & A panels. Awesome!

Silicon Valley FYC Emmy Event 2015

Tonight was the season 2 finale of Silicon Valley. What a fun exciting episode!
Check out my photo album from the Silicon Valley FYC Emmy event last month. The cast
was so funny, it was unbelievable. They are all just hilarious unscripted. Not sure how they reign them in. It was by far the most irreverent panel I have ever seen!

Luxor Egypt-An Evening Under The Stars~ Video

When I heard there had been an attack at Luxor, Egypt last week,my heart jumped, but I was relieved it was thwarted. It is a magnificent place, the history, the beauty, the craftsmanship, the hieroglyphs, etc. It is stunning to see in person. As I was walking through, I decided to capture what I was seeing on video rather than photograph it. Unfortunately my hand wasn't steady enough, so I used YouTube stabilizer to smooth it out. Not sure but I feel it's too smooth and slow now.
The original audio wasn't that interesting so I added some free YouTube music. Feel free to turn it down if it's distracting you. I hope you enjoy my evening walk through Luxor, and I hope you consider going to Egypt someday and see it's wonders. Video- ©Adriana M. Galvez

Doing some research for an upcoming animated project

I'm doing some research for the styling of an upcoming project and I came across these fine "Ren & Stimpy" BG paintings from Scott Wills who was working at Games Animation at the same time I was. Unfortunately, Games had it's 2 shows, the other being "Rocko's Modern Life" separated in different buildings & across town from each other. So we never got to see the delicious work of Bill Wray or Scott Wills in person. Well, at least I didn't. I was too busy with Rocko's Dr. Martin dyes style. I can't stop laughing, so good!

I found these here; http://animationbgs.blogspot.com.au/search?updated-max=2010-11-24T07:27:00-08:00&max-results=30

Egypt & Jordan 12/2012

To call it a trip of a lifetime is an understatement.  I cannot recommend or insist enough, that if you have a passion for antiquities, mystery sites, pyramids, that you must go to Egypt and see the sites in person, for yourself. Photos, documentaries, etc, these methods cannot capture it's vast splendor. I was fortunate to be able to go for an extended vacation/ research trip at the end of 2012. The culture, the people, but especially what remains of the Pyramid builder's monuments leave you breathless. The artistry, the detail, the wisdom etched in every wall of every site. I'll be posting some photos here, with more to come. The photos so far are of the Sphinx, Pyramid at Giza, the Nile at Sunset-(2 pics), on my way to Abu Garab, & sarcophagus of Horus are all in Egypt. The 1 camel garage, boy with camel , the donkey ride & the Treasury are in Petra-Jordan, the arch is at Jarash-Jordan, and the camels in desert are at Wadi Rum-Jordan. The man in cave serving tea & plate of food are in Petra.( not in that order) The food was made by a Bedouin, who invited us up to a private cave for lunch! We took a donkey to get up there, fun!
Our trip had 2 archeological experts in Egypt, they had different views at times which was very enlightening & provided a lot of food for thought. Our group became very close, and some of us remain in touch.  I hope to go back, it was amazing.Enjoy a glimpse of this fabulous trip!

FotoFocus Cincinnati: Exposed: Expectation, Experimentation, Exploration

 I was invited to participate in FotoFocus in Cincinatti, which is quite an extensive photography exhibit being held in galleries all over the city. I submitted one of my favorite street photographs. It was taken in Bali, Indonesia. I had but mere seconds to take it, and luckily this kiddie balloon dude had to slow down at a light. I am so happy I caught this fleeting moment of this man. Scooters are an integral part of this beautiful country, this was just one of many situations that can be seen daily on the streets and highways of Bali. If you are in the Cincinnati area, be sure to check out this event showcasing the work of various photographers and artists from all over the U.S.. It runs through October 26th, 2012 at various venues, including the Park National Bank Gallery. Curated by Kim Taylor and Nikki Vargas.
