neglecting the pencil

ok, since it seems that ive been posting such random drawings on here so randomly, its not because i havent been drawing. for the past lil while ive been focusing all my drawings into a storyboard for a short that ive been working on for a few months in my spare time. i guess in the end, my short didnt turn out that short, and i guess im gonna have to take probably at least half of it to the chopping block, but the first draft did get done ( i have no idea how or when ) and im workin on my first round of corrections and revisions as i write this. so just in case you check this thing every now and then and think "this dude really doesnt draw that much for an animation guy", other than that probably being true, most of my drawings have just ended up in this board instead of on this website, and hopefully with its preliminary completion, they will start showing up on here a little more frequently.

lucha movie for you

oh looksie, in case you didnt run out to purchase your copy of the mucha lucha movie when it came out, heres you chance to watch it for less than $21.99:

MUCHA LUCHA: THE RETURN OF EL MALÉFICO makes its Canadian premiere on Saturday, Sept. 17, at 5:00 pm. Voiced by Tim Curry, the evil El Maléfico has broken free, and it's up to Rikochet, Buena Girl, and the Flea to stop him by gathering up three magical artifacts from different parts of the world. Will they do it in time to save their parents, the other Luchadores, and the world? Their battle with El Maléfico will decide the fate of the universe.

sounds intense

some bugs do have a short life

Apparently good animation, art direction, and characters don't mean anything to Disney. The Buzz on Maggie is no more.
-sean szeles' disney l.a.

so i can take this one of two ways, 1- someone at disney thought we did good animation, or 2- we had a part in a one season show that got canceled not a few months after it hit the air.
wow, i kinda thought the anti-praise thing was funny, but now that the snowball has begun rolling...

arent i supposed to be packing?

i was gonna print this out on a lil canvas for a friends birthday present, but it just ended up costing way too much, so it looks like theyre gonna end up getting a whole lotta nothing instead. i guess im really hoping that it actually is the thought that counts.

the move

alrighty, packing has begun, and the move is in the works. Ill be in ontario within the month to start directing animation on jon izens new show "the very good adventures of yam roll", right after a quick visit to the ottawa animation festival for a few days of animation inspiration. if you havent yet seen the pilot, you can take a peeksy here. its already been getting some good feedback, and i cant say i blame them. i dont think it gets too much better than this.

im a business man

now that i officially have a business card, i guess that means im officially a business man...funny cause i dont wear a tie, carry a briefcase, have a secretary or even go to work.

wedding gifts

as much as i hate to admit that i sorta rushed a friends wedding gift, i ended up sorta rushing a friends wedding gift. i guess in the end, its not that im rediculously unhappy with the result, but its just that they probably deserve a lot better than what this is worth. i wonder if anyone prints onto gold...

site down

alrighty,i have finally taken down mikegeiger.com for some seriously needed updating. who knows when itll be completely updated, but better nothin up on that site than that hoard of ol drawings from 5 years ago. And besides, itll force me to update this blog a lot more often than i have been. so i apologize if you were lookin for the site and its gone, but the new and improved content should make it worth the wait.

some post-its

i was cleaning out my space at work today, and along with the other junk thats accumulated throughout my time at bardel were these post it notes of a few movie characters. i always seemed to get slack for that catwoman one. people thought it was daredevil with boobs. but considering that i never saw that movie, or ever read the comic book, im gonna have to claim ignorance on this one.

oops

alright, so i guess i has officially been over a month since i posted anything up here. again, it aint cause i havent been workin, its just that the stuff i been workin on isnt the kind of stuff i can post on here. anyways, here is at least something so i dont feel like this site has completely fallen off. it was for my friend who, you guessed it, really likes peanut butter.

when things were a little backwards

a link to my film's profile on the n.f.b. site, complete with head shot!!!

weeks drawin

ok, if you are hangin out on the beach on a nice sunny day, and you happen to loose your glasses in the sand and cant seem to locate them, picking up two magnifying glasses and using them instead is NOT an acceptable alternative. it will definently work against you...
