ummm ewwww


alright, i know this sorta goes against the purpose of this blog, but i did this bg today that is the most disgusting thing ever, so i thought id share.
i had an itch to try to use textures, even though they have never seemed to work before. the end result is a solid waste of a few hours and a complete lack of anything remotely appealing. not to mention just an overall mushy looking piece of i dunno what even without that ugly woodgrain.
oh well, lesson learned...

something new



heres some stills from a new project that ive been dabbling with. this is actually two shots from the same scene if your wondering why the dude has the same pose in both...

the kidman and lemon show

heres a project that i had a mild hand in helping out with (mainly cleaning drawings and bothering people while they were trying to work).
the majority of the work was made by some really creative people and i think the end result is a pretty good testament to the talent that put it together.

enjoy!



here is a list of all the other people involved (which i copy pasted from jamie's blog...hope thats ok!)
The concept of the show was created by Chuck Gammage himself, one of the world's best animators!
Conceptual Art & Design was provided by the young genius Rex Hackleberg!
Layouts were bestowed upon us by Graham Falk the master of funny drawings and the creator of "Untalkative Bunny"!
Backgrounds elegantly painted by the one and only Clive Powsey!
Inking done by the mighty, lightning quick, Mike Geiger!

the sticks is on the road


i couldnt be happier to announce that cuddle sticks is now officially a part of the 2008 spike and mikes sick and twisted animation festival.
woo woo!
oh, and for those of you that ive shown the short to previous to this post, i still have a carrot. the version that you have seen is a slightly more censored version than that which will play with the festival. so now you gots no excuse not to go see it on the big screen along with the rest of the shorts that will be sure to make you feel dirty.

done!



5 months and 2 dark bags under my eyes later...my new short is officially finished.
next stop...an audience

dark years


i came across this website today for a project that i worked on at chuck gammage for a few months during the pre-production phase.
the clip that is posted here just happens to be one of the sections that i boarded. im not sure who animated it, so i cant give credit where credit is due, but its cool to see what it looks like finished up and with music and all.
anyhoo,
take a peak if you feel like it.

the dark years

the show airs in its entirety ( all 3 hours of it ) dec 26th, 27th, and 28th on the history channel.

i heard a story


i recently heard a story on the news about a turtle being born with a head on both ends...

wormy


ive recently been giving a few people a hard time about not updating their blog enough, so to practice what i preach, im determined to start posting a minimum one post a week. like it or not, good or bad, doodle or clean, one post a week is the new plan...

now this is a coincidence


that unicorn down there looks suspiciously a lot like this dragon...
could there be some foul play amiss?
