2011-12-05T00:13:00.000-08:00

I got the chance to help design some characters and animation for a recently released IPad/IPhone app called "Go Go Kiddo". Created by Jordan Weisman, the app is loaded with learning skill games, interactive silliness and cartoons. Fun stuff for the I-saavy younger set. Here are some random screen grabs:

Here are some random screen grabs from the an animated series that I got to work on based on a property called Nanovor. Wild Brain created the first few episodes then I was allowed to redesign and direct a dozen or so more episodes throughout 2010.

A few projects from last year: Got to do the graphic novel cover above for Nanovor, a recent online game aimed at kids. The book comes out in March and the interior artwork is by Felipe Torrent . I also got to direct a number of animated episodes for Nanovor as well. Starting with Season 1, Ep. 13 (Wild Brain Studios animated the first twelve) with animator Dustin Haynes. The schedule was fairly tight with only a week for each episode.

Also got the chance to do character layouts again for an Esurance video. Ghostbot pulled this one off quite well I thought:

Trying to upload some of my older shorts to youtube whenever I can. Got "Under the Noodle" and "Death by Dying" up recently:

Urban Light Studios in Seattle has the touring Thought Processor show going on which I got a piece into. The show's up till March 4th. Artists included are Jamie Burton, Augie Pagain, Aaron Jasinski, Edward Pun, 179, Charms, Dain, Dear Earthling, Joe Vollan, John Raftery, Jonathan Morris, Ninjagrl, Parsid, Solace, Trevor Bassett and Weirdo.

By some rare twist of fate I've been honored this week as an artist spotlight on Channel Frederator. Music videos "Dee" and "Nothing Personal", with shorts "Manning" and "Under the Noodle" are presented with painful-for-me-to-watch clips of myself mumbling in-between. Watch if you can...

2009-03-09T22:59:00.000-07:00

I've had the honor of twice recently getting some work included in the famed podcasts of the studio known as Channel Frederator. Death by Dying late last year and this week Take Me is grouped alongside some fun shorts. If you haven't checked out their podcasts before you have several days' worth of animation brilliance waiting ahead for ya in their archives.

A short of mine called "Gumms" should be wrapped up soon. Working on a music video for Daniel G. Harmann. And trying to wrap up a longer film that I started early last year. Yellow days...

Saturday Morning Cartoons

2008-03-01T02:21:00.000-08:00

Hey, tomorrow (Sat) at Ouch My Eye gallery in Seattle is the Saturday Morning Cartoons Show. I was able to slip into the lineup just a week before the opening so my pieces were desperate attempts to say the least. The one with all the heads were supposed to represent a Saturday morning lineup during the Spring '82 season. Not sure how I felt about that one so I churned out the Thundarr piece as a backup. Thanks again to Lawrence for the last minute participation. Pretty crazy representation of talent involved. Show starts at 8. Good excuse to go downtown if anything...

character study

2008-01-20T18:39:00.001-08:00

A bunch of character sketches for a short film that was also scrapped. A lot of the plot details from this one was once again pulled into my current project.

flash animation

2008-01-20T15:30:00.000-08:00

This is the first minute of a 3 minute Flash animation that I worked on last summer. Again, it never got the final polish that it needed, nor music and sound effects, so it remains a broken, silent rough animation. This was in collaboration with Jonathan Stroh, who occassionally helps me with my own projects. I posted a few concepts for this piece last July.

IG-88: The Dancing Robot grabs

2008-01-19T23:54:00.000-08:00

I was asked to make screen grabs of each of the characters from my IG-88 film last year for a magazine and here they are. Still not sure how I feel about the movie itself. I did it in a month and a lot of compromising was involved, but, fun to draw the characters one last time I guess. I had to look up some of their names and this is when I learned that "Walrus Man" is now called "Ponda Baba." I mostly stuck with the action figure names that I remembered 'em by...

Imperial Officer and General Motti

The Great Zorback (Holo Gymnast from Holiday Special)

Walrus Man

Gamorrean Guard and Rancor

Snaggletooth, IG-88 and Ignus

pitch

2008-01-19T23:38:00.000-08:00

A couple sketches for an animation show pitch made by some friends last year. A chance to have fun with some action scenes. These particular drawings were part of a cut scene.

grocery store short animation

2008-01-19T15:06:00.000-08:00

These are some keyframe drawings for a short animation that took place in a grocery store. For some reason I just stopped and moved on to another idea, never wrapping up this one.

To be honest, I can't remember what these 'hanging kid' images truly involved, but I believe it was a flashback the bag boy kept having that involved hanging on monkey bars.

The ending occurred when this guy pressed the button. Can't reveal what it was in case I decide to go back to the story.

Bag boy helping a customer I suppose.

A dejected bag boy. I worked in a number of grocery stores when I was a teenager so I was looking forward to depicting depressed kids performing grocery duties. The one thing that slowed the project down I believe were all of the backgrounds with hundreds of products on shelves.

I hate to admit it but this character was probably leaning towards a self-portrait. Here he's driving, grasping a car's steering wheel. The wheel and most of his torso would have been obscured by the dashboard and rain and fog on the windshield.

Character running across the parking lot with the camera underneath him.

A quick drawing of random groceries, supposedly moving down the conveyor belt to be bagged. I didn't try too hard on these guys, choosing to be obvious rather than too detailed.

dumping

2008-01-19T14:49:00.000-08:00

Every year or so I eventually get around to organizing the pile of artwork in my office's closet. It's all basically stacked up and boxed away so I can forget about it and concentrate on what needs to be done at the moment. This time around I also scanned a bunch of it in for self-promotional reasons. I thought it'd be fun to show some of the rougher stuff, which I usually never get to show but I tend to favor over the more polished final versions. A lot of my past work I can't show only because it's property of the clients involved, but I should be able to post some of the sketchier pieces and concepts which ended up far removed from the final product. Not to mention artwork for dead projects. So here are a few drawings that I thought came out decent enough to throw up on blogger here...

BLVD show

2007-12-13T01:43:00.000-08:00

This Friday from 6-10 is the opening of a new group show at BLVD Gallery in Seattle. The theme is Good vs. Evil and here's the lineup with my own pieces posted below. I'm sure it'd be a wise investment buying any one of these artist's works while they're still somewhat affordable:

Jamie Burton, Rick Garland, Todd Lovering, Memo Diaz, Jason Zayas, Rich Miller, Rich Werner, Karin Madan, Anton Bogaty, Bryan Mandronico, Charlie Lagrecca, Augie Pagan, Son Duong, Lawrence Ruelos, Brandon Graham, Martin Ontiveros, Tom Dougherty, Tim Swope, Bart Kaufman, Paul Whitehead, Joe Kresoja, Scott Wiener, James Ma, Rick Klu, Randy Briley, Kevin Neireiter, Dev Madan, Gene Blakefield, Mike Haney, Aaron Mckinney

Local Sightings 10

2007-10-05T07:08:00.000-07:00

Hey, tonight this year's Local Sightings at Northwest Film Forum kicks off, which is a pretty nice venue for filmmakers up here. My little film "Manning" is part of a program called 'Strange Neighbors' tonight at 11. Last year had some pretty crazy pieces shown and with films called "Jack the Vomiter" in the lineup I'm sure cinema will be pushed to its bounderies once again. Unfortunately I might be too sick to be there myself, which is pretty disappointing since it means I won't be able to visit my favorite Capitol Hill bar, the Barca Lounge, and sample Captain and Cokes. Nice and dark there at night.

music video

2007-09-13T18:03:00.000-07:00

I'm currently about two weeks away from wrapping up a music video for Denelian. Here are a few early screen grabs. Should be an interesting experiment...

A Black Hole of Negativity

2007-09-10T09:01:00.000-07:00

The latest "Tales of Mankind" episode A Black Hole of Negativity is up. Thanks again to Ollie Glatzer and Jonathan Stroh for the help. Hopefully in about a month I'll have a music video that I've been consumed with completed. If interested, there's a silly interview

here.

more negativity

2007-08-20T15:29:00.000-07:00

A few more screen grabs from 'Black Hole of Negativity', part 5 of 'Tales of Mankind.' Hoping to have the film up by early September. The sunset image is by Jonathan Stroh.

slim jabba

2007-08-01T16:29:00.000-07:00

When I made that IG-88 Star Wars film thing a few months ago, I wound up leaving out a bunch of ideas and characters only because I couldn't finish all of it by the deadline. For some reason I thought a super skinny Jabba would have been fun but I just couldn't animate his scenes in time. He came out looking a little strange anyway and I'm sure I've seen someone portray a skinny Jabba elsewhere. At the last second I threw one of those X-Wing belt buckle's on him only 'cause I remember having one of those when I was a kid. Fun to obtain but wasn't really drawn to wear it. Just sat and clanked around in my sock drawer for years. I have about 20 other bad ideas that didn't make the film so I'll try to get those up too. Good times...

animatic sketches

Here are some rough storyboards lifted from the first animatic for the aformentioned vector piece.

2007-07-30T15:27:00.000-07:00

Not sure if this drawing was used for Perplex City or not. I did literally hundreds of illustrations for the ARG but never really knew what was used or not.

Vector animation stills

2007-07-27T21:31:00.001-07:00

Here are a couple stills from an animation that I got to do a few months ago with animator Jonathan Stroh. Hopefully I'll be able to show the short film somewhere soon. I hadn't gotten to do a true all-vector animation in quite a while so it was pretty fun to jump back into it wholeheartedly for this one.
