viewing abstract

i received word today that my lil short called "viewing abstract" has been selected for the ottawa animation festival this year. other than the fact that i am overjoyed it was chosen, what i think is the cool thing about the selection is that i never had any intention of making it at all. it was spawned quite literally from sitting down at my computer after work on a friday night and doodling, until the next thing i knew, it was sunday evening and i had spat out a minutes worth of animation. no preproduction, no designs, no budget, no schedule, and definently no intention of making a short film. when lately everything i am involved with in this industry is solely dependent on such things, i think its neat that this short has been chosen for the festival which was made purely for shits and giggles on a lazy sudbury evening.

i dont remember what day we were on

cold hard flash

alrighty, my internet at home has been disconnected while i get my move on, so i guess ill be trying to post from work for a lil while. since i gots none of my files at work as of today...ill leave you with a link to an interview i did with coldhardflash that i just found. i think there are some more coming as part of their coldhardcouncil, but in the meantime, enjoy some words about some kind of industry mumbo jumbo that attempts to make me sound like i know what im talking about...

ok, these are beginning to get old

this one is the original image where this run of drawings began...and the final version for that mexican themed art show a few posts down.
just imagine it surrounded by a big brown dusty frame from value village

day 5

and they just keep coming...

day 4

day 3

for some reason the colors on my computer at home are drastically different than what i see on my monitor at work, which makes a lot of these drawings look incredibly odd. so if you lookin at these things thinkin "man, dudes color stylin is wack", its cause my moniter i do these things on needs some obvious tuning.
anyways, day 3...

day 2

day 2 of the world tour

the world tour starts here

i spent a good portion of the last weekend drawin up some characters from different ethnicities around the world. i had an idea behind it, but before i get ahead of myself, ill start postin a few up here for yall to check out and we'll see what happens from there...

ren seeks help

john k put up a trailer on his blog for an episode of ren and stimpy that we made over at carbunkle a while back. i spotted a few scenes in there that i animated so i thought id post er up, probably the most memorable being the pistol whipping scene near the end of the trailer.
enjoy...
