All schools in Mongolia are communist influenced where young children sit in rows, don't play, and are lectured for eight hours a day. The Khuslen kindergarten is the exact opposite of that. It is structured very much like schools here where kids spend a majority of their day playing and interacting with teachers and students. </div>

What is even great is this school is for very low-income families. Each child gets enough food for the day, as well as free medical clinics for the entire family. Both these are a blessing because many families cannot afford either.</div>

Thursday morning (3/21) was spent with the younger class (ages 3-4). They were just as cute as the older kids. As a videographer though, I had a harder time documenting the younger class. They really didn't care about the camera. They just wanted to play with me. The older kids, however, had a hay day with the technology.<br />

Outside of the kindergarten and medical conference, we were able to embrace the Mongolian culture. We were able to spend Monday (3/18) out in the Nomad steppeds with a Kusak family. They blessed us with a feast of sheep, and horse.<br />

This was a once in a life time experience! I do want to go back someday but for now my goal is to show their story with you. I want you to best experience the love and beauty I witnessed on the other side of the world. My heart has grown for this country, these people, that church, those children. I hope it does for you, too, so that you can send love to the wonderful people of Khuslen and Church of All Nations.<br />

Back in the fall of 2011, I decided to have a sketch-athon with my friend, <a href="http://skippinginfinity.com/">Matt</a>.
We ventured out to Lincoln Park Zoo to sketch some fun little animals.
At this news that we would be sketching at the zoo, my friend, Tretter,
made a funny comment that I should
draw him a Giraffe, a Monkey, an Owl, and a Jaguar all combined into one
animal.<br />
<br />
Fast forward one year, I decided to create a 3D sculpture of this combo-animal...<br />
(made out of a metal armature, Sculpey clay, and finished with acrylic paint)</div>

I was blessed enough to be part of the creative team for <a href="http://churchinthecity.us/" target="_blank">Church in the City</a>'s </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas service held on December 9th.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The theme of the service was Emmanuel: the Greatest Invasion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We really focused on the invasion, immerse love of Jesus coming to earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only did I help create the entire untraditional service, I was in charge of three videos,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as well as the entire esthetic of the auditorium. For this, I did a grand installation of paper cone Christmas trees and hundred of candle-lit tin cans. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A video of the service is soon to be made but in the meantime, enjoy this fantastic video titled,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Emmanuel</i>.</div>

My mother recently was in the hospital for near-death scares. My sister's wedding was approaching and schedules were packed. I was questioning my new relationship with my boyfriend and filled it with doubt. And above all, my computer, my life-line totally fried.<br />
<br />
As an animator, my computer is beyond important. It is close to impossible to create any film without a digital component, let alone a computer. To be quite honest, when my computer broke it was the end of my world. It was just that "what other BAD things could happen to me?" moment.<br />
<br />
Though getting a new computer was an absolute need, I had to put it on back burner because it just wasn't that important among the things that was going on in my life. My mom's health came first; my sister's wedding came second; my job came third; my boyfriend came fourth; then my art.<br />
<br />
Such a shame, if I think about it now. I tried to pray about it but I just couldn't think about it. I didn't have the finance for it. I didn't have the energy for it. I just couldn't deal with it.<br />
<br />
I sucked it up, and surrendered everything to Jesus, which I should of done a long time ago. And He provided! My sister's wedding was flawlessly amazing. My mom is recovering and is even back to work. My relationship with Seán (my boyfriend, obviously) couldn't be more loving. And most importantly, from people I am sooooo blessed to have, I only had to pay $188 out of pocket for my computer!<br />
<br />
I know I was struggling for quite sometime but He will ALWAYS provide. I know I forget about it at times but it is things like this that make really truly remember how blessed I am.<br />
<br />
So prepare yourself for a BUNCH of new animation/singing projects!
To start, listen to me singing at my sister's best friend's wedding!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
The past few months, but most especially the last month,
have been very difficult for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My schedule was packed from dawn to midnight with an over the top work
schedule, freelance jobs, new transitions, my sister’s wedding planning/events,
and sadly weeks in the hospital visiting my mother who had become ill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because of all this (and probably more)
I had become distant from the community I so love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hadn’t seen my roommates during this time and still only
see them for minutes on end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
hadn’t talked to my friends during this time unless it was through a boring
text message.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And worse of all, I
hadn’t been to church during this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Not only was my growth with Jesus on the back burner, so was my
relationship with my church community whom I love so deeply.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will be completely honest with you, I have never prayed so
much in my life during this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Especially when I received that dreaded phone call that my mother was in
the hospital.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With so much stress
and fear, my prayers never ceased.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But as far as growing my relationship with the Lord, that was as far as
it went.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t have the energy
to read the Word.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To get to church
or prayer meetings or connect groups would mean leaving my mother alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was really hard for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I longed for my church’s community but had to sacrifice it for a bit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just last week, I had finally been able to catch a breath,
enough shut eye, and energy to leave the house and build my relationship back
up with all the people I had been missing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> F</span>ortunately, my church had a wonderful guest speaker<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(the amazing RT Kendall) come in and
preach for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I attended the
Saturday morning service where I was greeted by all the wonderful people I had
missed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You know, I thought I had cried myself out during all this
stress over the past months but when I reconnected with everyone from church,
the tears started pouring again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Little did they know, though…</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
As I received hug after hug, smile after smile, love after
love, my eyes built up with water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But the hug that surged love into every last blood vessel was from my
dear friend, Jesi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This very pregnant lady climbed over the bench just to hug me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her face was lit up with the most
loving smile and warmth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was
sitting down as she hugged me so my head rested so nicely on her chest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As her grip around me became warmer and
filled with love, my eyes filled with tears.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I had missed this love so much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She didn’t know that while my head was rested in her big, pregnant
bosom, tears swelled up in my eyes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was just crazy how her little, twenty-second hug had
filled me with such love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is
the community I love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
community that is absolutely immersed in Jesus’ love that a simple hug
reignites that love in my heart! </div>

As we all go through, I have been thinking about what I really want to do in life.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Obviously, it has something to do with animation and music.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
For the past year, I have been more and more passionate about little children and their cartoon entertainment.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
You can find me any morning when I am home in front of the tv watching children's cartoons. Mainly cartoons geared towards children under the age of 7. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Weird, you think? Nah, just research ;-)</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
The last few days I have been really praying and journaling.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I want to write songs and animations for children!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I have found a sketchbook to devote to just this and I have already written my first song.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In my biweekly job/internship search, I came upon an ad for a video internship at an organization called <a href="http://www.keshet.org/" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" target="_blank">Keshet</a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">.</span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
In just a few days, Nato will be happening in the city of Chicago. I have already planned on bunkering down for the entire weekend and only leaving for extreme necessities. <br />
There is a part of me that would enjoy seeing some smoke rising from the Chicago skyline seen from my apartment but that is a very small part of me. Mainly for the pure satisfaction that this thing has been hyped way too much and we all know nothing will really happen.<br />
<br />
While at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I would take sculpture classes to get my mind
off the tedious job of animating.
In 2008, I took a hand building ceramics class that let us build
anything we wanted out of clay.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
For my final, I created an installation piece titled “One
Plus Nine Plus Eight Plus Seven”.
Adding these numbers up, it will equal twenty-five. I decided to make twenty-five ceramic
boxes each representing a specific time in my life based on color. The darker the color, the harder the year was for me emotionally and spiritually. They were hung on the wall indicating
my ever growing life.</div>

It has been a long day at work been animating <br />
I just want to get to my room to shower eat and sleep<br />
This slow elevator keeps me awaiting<br />
But I get on there eventually<br />
<br />
Then I hear <br />
<br />
Hold the elevator <br />
And I yell back no way<br />
I push the button to close the door<br />
I’m not holding the elevator<br />
No way<br />
<br />
You’re a complete stranger<br />
And I don’t want to make small talk<br />
Nothing against you it’s just very awkward<br />
If you don’t want to wait there’s always stairs for you to walk<br />
But I gotta get to floor thirty third.<br />
<br />
And I still hear<br />
<br />
Hold the elevator <br />
And I yell back no way<br />
I push the button to close the door<br />
I’m not holding the elevator<br />
No way<br />
<br />
Call me rude, jerk, evil, sinister, and mean<br />
Call me nasty, unkind, sinful, or obscene<br />
Just don’t yell<br />
Hold the elevator<br />
Hold the elevator<br />
<br />
Hold the elevator <br />
And I yell back no way<br />
I push the button to close the door<br />
I’m not holding the elevator<br />
<br />
Hold the elevator <br />
And I yell back no way<br />
I push the button to close the door<br />
I’m not holding the elevator<br />
No way<br />
No way<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
SAIC had a six-week winter break. Almost all students went home for this extended time except
for me. I spent the break in the
dorms/apartments taking the advantage of the empty quarter-city-block size
studio that I could claim all to myself.
During this time, I would create random projects just for fun. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Early 2009 you could find me in the studio making puppet
after puppet after set after prop.
This was during my prime of when I finally found my absolute love for
puppet animation. My <a href="http://naytinalbert.blogspot.com/?z">brother</a>
jokingly asked me to make him a puppet that was his mini-self, and so I did!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, Mini Nathan will not be able to animatingly
walk, but all his joints are movable just like a real doll.</div>

I am a tad bit of a fan of The Simpsons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, I am a HUGE fan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I own all the
DVD’s that are available and have quite a few of their dolls/action
figures. When I went to see The
Simpsons movie, it was one of the greatest movie experiences I have ever
had. The crowd was awesome and I
have never heard such awesome laughter.<br />
<br />
Have you heard the controversy though? Matt Groening revealed where Springfield was located.<br />
Shame. This should of been a secret he took to the grave.<br />
But I still enjoy the show. So you pass this one, Mr. Groening.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I found this picture I made back in 2000 in one of my photo albums. The reason I love
the Midwest is because of its clouds.
I took a picture of these clouds and immediately thought of the opening
of The Simpsons. So perfect!<br />

<div>
This is an excerpt from a
book I just finished called "Faith in the Land of Make-Believe" by Lee
Stanley. Lee Stanley is a film director who tells of his story of
helping the criminal and jailed youth through the love of Jesus Christ.
I know this book and excerpt is geared toward a filmmaker, but I think
it speaks truth to all artists. Highly recommend it for the Christian
who happens to be an artist. I also recommend it for the artist who happens to be just an artist.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Why is it that when we work
under the banner of “Christian,” we are often forced to dilute the
truth and power of the pen or the camera by creating characters who do
not exist in real life?<br />
<br />
Christian films have the unbridled
reputation of being artificial, manipulative, and predictable, with
watered-down, one-dimensional characters and unbelievable (notice I did
not say supernatural) story lines. We preach; we point; we judge, and
we prance around our blatant theme to <em>suspecting</em> audiences for what purpose--to lead them to Christ.<br />
<br />
<b>Too often we are doing more earthly damage than kingdom good.</b><br />
<br />
What are we afraid of?<br />
<br />
I
believe it is our responsibility as artists to create characters,
circumstances, and settings as they really are--as long as those
incidents are justifiable and are not used for shock value alone or as a
short-circuiting of the creative process.<br />
<br />
If we set up
watered-down, artificial, phony characters in the beginning of our films
or books, audiences will not believe, or even come to realize, the
magnitude of their transformation or experience God’s power,
forgiveness, and unconditional love.<br />
<br />
Christians who watch our films know in their guts that the filmmaker is a born-again Christian.<br />
<br />
Nonbelievers consistently ask, “What is it about your productions that are so different, so life changing?”<br />
<br />
I
always give the same answer. “You experienced the love and presence of
Jesus Christ. <b>Imagine what he can do in your life, if you only let
him.”</b><br />
<br />
I was once introduced on a television talk show as a
“Christian filmmaker.” I respectfully corrected the host and said, “I
am a Christian who happens to be a filmmaker.”<br />
<br />
Christ made that very clear to me the first time I picked up a camera after becoming born again.<br />
<br />
<b>“<em><span style="color: red;">I died for everyone</span>,” </em>He reminded me. “<em><span style="color: red;">Your work needs to be for everyone I died for.</span>”</em></b><br />

I feel that trees are representative of the miracle of life and growth.
I read this story once about a man who was starting to disbelieve in God.
He started to get frustrated with Him because there weren’t any miracles that this man could see.
So God took the man to an empty field in the middle of nowhere.
As the man traveled for a long time, he finally came to a huge tree in the middle of this field.
God stopped him and said to the man, “This is one of my favorite miracles.” </div>

I use trees in my artwork as well.
The trees in my artwork usually have no leaves.
I am not a very big fan of leaves.
I extremely love the way branches twist and turn.
Maybe I do not use leaves on my artwork trees because I am a Tim Burton fan.
Or maybe because they are a butt to animate.
I used to just make tree stumps in my artwork because I find those cool too.
But I have been branching out!
Hahah! Classic.</div>
