What a sexy bastard...

He's a sketch of me with my new haircut. well.. New a few weeks ago... In all my hideously deformed glory. Enjoy...

You ever get that feeling.....

You know the one.. Like something intangible is following you around. Ready to lunge at any moment.. I feel it all the time. Feeling it right now... I apologize for the quick use of inferior photoshop coloring here.. Man.... I need to learn how to draw......

Some Sketches for you???...

Here's some randomness from my sketchbook..I've been kinda pen crazy as of late.. trying to find one that feels right to me.. Troy has a wicked pentel brush pen.. I'm thinking I might need to order one of those.. The page of similar looking guys are initial development for a short idea kicking arond in my head. The other page is just a page from my sketch book. the guy at the bottom reminded me of the dad from the wonder years for some reason.. it wasn't supposed to be him.. It was some guy at I saw breifley while out to lunch.. He didnt' actually look like this either.. oh well... .

Full Contact Brian...

Our Production Manager ,Brian , recently got back into Kung - Fu.. But.. The group he found here on the island is full contact.. Not something he's used to. Last week he got his finger busted up.. So I figured I'd do a little drawing of what he'll look like in a couple weeks time. And yes... He really does look a little bit like me... We're both members of the beard and baggy eyes club.....

I have no idea.....

This.... This is why I shouldn't sketch with brush pens.. It leads me down weird ways that I probably shouldn't venture.. I was inspired by Troy Little's amazing control of the inkey tools and decided to sketch with some myself... This is the unfortunate results of my sketching. I have a long way to go in learning how to control such a permanent black line. It always freaks me out when i draw with something that makes me live with the choices I initially make.. Instead of endlessly fixing them...

Uggghh....

Man.. Sometimes I draw soo horrible it's funny. I sketched these things last night after work.. Man.. These are soo bad I was actually laughing out loud at how bad they were.. My wife can verify that.. I dunno what it was... An off night I hope.. But I haven't been posting much lately so i thought i should at least post whatever I have.. And this is it.. .

Happy Birthday Darius!!

Hey.. Here's an old caricature I did of my pal Darius Graff.. the guys an insanely talented graphic designer in halifax.. And it was his birthday on tuesday.. Same day as Troy's.. Happy birthday buddy! Come visit soon!

Troy Little...

I have no new art of my own to post. Been busy with animation.. I did manage to get a rough boards pass done on my short last week.. Had 30 min while my wife and daughter were asleep one night.. It went not too bad.. It's around 85 panels. Nothing too long... Trying to work out the animatic now... And tighten up my really rough boards...

soooooo..Here's a little caricature of me that my co-worker / buddy Troy Little did. Troy's an amazing artist.. He's got mad skillz with the sequential comic book art.. I mean come on!! Just look at how he captured my sleaziness!! He did make my teeth a little too perfect.. but that's ok... Artistic license... Checkout his blog in my links section. He's got a really great one panel comic strip series called Mygrain... Hillarious... So stop by his blog and wish him a Happy Birthday!!! (it was yesterday) see ya!!..

Doodlez...

Well haven't posted much latley. And this really isn't a post either.. I've had the majority of my time taken up with my daughter turning 1 (Happy Birthday Chloe!!).. And.. I'm working on Some new Doodlez animation... It's been great soo far.. It's been too long since I've animated the little guy. Sooo fun.. I get to do thumbnails for animation again!! You know it's been too long since you animated last when yor telling your director "Man!! I'm loving doing these thumbnails!!" heheh.. Ahh.. Working on this doodlez project has re-ignited the animation fire in my belly. And Lady and the Tramp came out yesterday... Man.. Milt Kahl's animation in that blows me away. Soo inspirational... I hope I can put some of this new belly fire to work on my short.. which I hope to start story boading next week.. Ahh... And I heard that Ron and John heading back to Disney??. Things are looking good for animation...
