Hey! some stuff!
Also, I've recently been posting stuff on an old musty forgotten deviantart account. I throw everything up there regardless of quality, so it gets updated more frequently.

Run Cycle

2011-08-28T23:06:00.002-04:00

Animating for fun? What kind of nonsense is that. I'm at the tail end of an exhausting contract, and will be posting again in a week or two.

Leela

2011-05-18T22:24:00.003-04:00

We got a puppy a couple months ago. Her name is Leela. Shes a butt, but I like her.

WHO WANTS TO SEE MAH POKEMONS

I just started a new contract. So, because I like money, I probably wont be posting as much for a while. For now, enjoy my current pokemon party.

Lots of Things

2011-03-07T15:01:00.003-05:00

Some girls, and Okami fanart.

Last weeks topic on Art Jumble was Hitchcock posters.

I was trying to make fun of them. It didnt work.

Ladies

2011-01-29T17:41:00.002-05:00

Some stuff, including a traditional one. I haven't drawn on paper in ages, and I haven't used markers in even longer.

Been trying to draw something every day. It's been working so far.

Some Pictures

2010-11-07T20:00:00.005-05:00

Long time since my last post for two reasons. Number one, Ive been working on a new comic project;

And number two, I got married last month;

Its Done!

2010-09-24T15:45:00.000-04:00

4 months.

Worth it.

New Painting!

Dumb Dogs

2010-08-27T14:59:00.001-04:00

This was my alarm clock this morning.

Blah.

2010-07-27T08:46:00.000-04:00

I don't think I've posted this yet.

The nerdiest thing I've ever done.

2010-07-02T14:51:00.003-04:00

Well maybe not THE nerdiest, but its up there. Mario Bros 3, world 1 map, cross stitched. I started it in late December and finished in May.

Here's a progess shot of my next ludicrous endeavor.

Mudder's Day

2010-05-11T16:30:00.002-04:00

Painted this for my smelly Mom for smelly Mother's Day. Thats supposed to be my sister and I. I'm the littler one.

You elegent fowl...

2010-04-13T12:33:00.003-04:00

When I was little I had a little golden book of the owl and the pussycat. I thought it was super creepy, because the animals were not anthropormorphized at all, aside from the fact that the cat walked on its hind legs, and they wore clothes.

Fancy Pants Layout

2010-03-16T15:51:00.003-04:00

My blog is now fancy with a fancy banner at the top. Here are some fancy new pictures to go with it.

Art Dump

2009-11-14T22:48:00.001-05:00

Pictures Pictures Pictures. I'm all about brush & ink lately.

2009-10-07T01:45:00.001-04:00

I painted this today, and I'm quite happy with it. Drawing straight onto the computer is not my forte, but this one turned out pretty well.

2009-09-21T14:48:00.000-04:00

Hey its a picture.

2009-09-10T12:06:00.003-04:00

Doodles from yesterday.

Ponyo

2009-08-29T00:27:00.000-04:00

Cute movie. Very enjoyable. Everyone should go see it.

Tulip Hat

2009-07-28T18:36:00.002-04:00

I love cheap art supplies. Whenever I have high quality paper or paints or anything I'm always stressed out about wasting it on an awful drawing. Today I got a big brick of watercolour paper and an assortment of puck paints for $12 and I'm actually far happier with them than my fancy paints because I don't feel bad about throwing blobs of colour onto scribbley pen doodles.

Carmen Sandiego

2009-07-20T23:59:00.002-04:00

Since graduating I haven't been drawing as much as I probably should. In an attampt to get back into it a little, here is one of my many childhood heros. She stole half of the fish from Lake Titicaca one time. Thats pretty cool.

Painting...

2009-06-15T19:22:00.002-04:00

So my computer blew up last week. No fun. Since then Alex and I have had to share one. Sharing a computer sucks, but he has a much nicer tablet than mine. So in celebration of stealing your boyfriends stuff, here is the painting I did this morning. It's a revamped version of a painting I did on cardboard many years ago.

Tilly

2009-06-03T13:46:00.003-04:00

My parents got a new dog recently. Whenever anyone touches her she collapses onto her back. She is a spaz, but I like her.

Also, I went to the zoo the other week! So in celebration of that here's a made up species of lemur.

Film!

2009-05-22T20:40:00.004-04:00

Eight months, and its done. There's a lot of stuff that I'm really unhappy with in there, particularly in the animation and timing, but oh well. Learning experiences and all that. I took a hit on quality to be sure that I'd make my deadlines. I'm just happy that its done, and happy that I've graduated. But now I know that I can make a film and actually get it finished, so now I'm on on to bigger and better projects.

New stuff!

2009-05-14T22:51:00.000-04:00

Now that I've graduated (aah!) I want to get back into comicking. Here's some rough character scribbles for a couple new projects.

The film is done!

2009-04-18T16:13:00.000-04:00

My film is finished. Finally. Eventually I'll upload it to youtube, but not until I figure out what I'm doing with it in terms of festivals.
In celebration, here is a picture.

Everyones drawing them, and now, so have I.

Now that I'm graduating I'd like to get in the habit of updating more frequently, like I used to back in the time before animation school. Here's hoping.

Happy 2009!

2009-01-02T13:57:00.000-05:00

So heres the deal, I haven't been posting anything new because I've been animating like a crazy person trying to get my film done. So instead of showing off lovely pictures, heres some film stuff.

Goose!

2008-11-26T17:06:00.001-05:00

Ok. So I haven't posted anything in a long long time. This is because my film is taking up ALL my time right now. I did however go to the Royal Winter Fair and draw some animals, just like every year. So here, is a goose and a cow.

Speed Painting and Layout

2008-10-26T14:39:00.000-04:00

Heres a speed paitning I did for life drawing a couple weeks ago.

And here is my layout. I think I've finally settled on a painting style for the backgrounds. I had a huge dilema with wanting some level of style in the layouts without going the UPA "wonky" route, because that wouldn't fit with my time period. Blah.

Storyboard is done.

2008-10-17T14:59:00.001-04:00

I finished my storyboard! I'd write more about it, but its a super-big secret.

Carmen

2008-09-30T20:10:00.000-04:00

I love Carmen Miranda. She has unique features and a huge personality which makes her fun to charicature. So heres a painting of her, 100% digital, that I did for lifedrawing class. Its different from the way I usually do digital painting, which is to scan a rough drawing, make it transparent, paint underneath it and then remove the sketch as I refine the painting. This one I just opened up photoshop and started throwing colour down, and I kind of like the result.

...

2008-09-01T13:30:00.000-04:00

School starts tomorrow!

Its the Monster Ho-Down

2008-08-14T17:34:00.000-04:00

So there's this girl named Sam. Shes my bestest friend evers. The "Jay" to my "Silent Bob" you could say. And lately she has had a thing for monsters. So I did these for her today, for her to hang in her room because she is in the process of gutting it and I thought it would be nice for her to have something new for her walls. I'm so thoughtful.

Also, yesterday I got my schedule for September and picked my electives. I've got Wednesdays and Fridays free, which is awesome. In fact, I've got no classes from 11:00am Thursday until 11:00am Monday. FANTASTIC. 3.5 day weekends will be awesome for getting huge amounts of animation done. And my gen-ed courses are "Dictatorship in the 20th century" and "Archetypes in Science Nature and Design" or something like that. I can't remember the exact titles. Regardless, I want school to start right now.

2008-07-31T23:05:00.000-04:00

So here's the deal. I love Stephen King movies. I hate most horror movies, but I love Stephen King's. The reason for this is that most horror movies, especially modern horror, rely wholly on traumatizing the audience. They show you lots of graphic detail of horrible things, things that in my opinion no rational human being should ever find watchable, let alone entertaining. Now, the deal is you're shown these things and it sticks in your head for a few hours, or a few days, or a few weeks afterwards but 9 times out of 10 its the imagery that scares you. Stephen King's movies aren't like this (for the most part. Cujo is an exception) and they aren't filled with prissy half clothed 17 year olds waiting to be chopped up. The reason I'm babbling about this is because in the past week since I've been out of my internship we've watched The Tommyknockers, Storm of the Century, Rose Red, Carrie, and The Shining. The Shining isn't my favorite adaptation of one of his novels, but as we were watching it I drew some stuff. So here's Shelley Duvall and the kid who played Danny whose name I don't know.

Also, I've pretty much finalized my main character for my film. Here she is, looking stiffer and far more sober than she will in the film.

On a side note GO WATCH THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG TRAILER! DO IT NOW! It isnt as impressive as I want it to be, BUT STILL!!

Grandparenty Pictures

2008-07-27T17:09:00.000-04:00

I started this last night and I just finished it. These are my paternal grandparents. We have a family reunion thingamajig every summer and I'm giving this to them as a kind of gift type thing. I've been doing characatures for a pretty long time, both "professionally" and just as favors, and I think these are two of the best I've ever done, in terms of getting a good likeness and character. It also helps that I think my grandfather has worn that outfit nearly every day for the past 25 years.

In other news, my internship ended on friday. It was pretty awesome and I got a few good portfolio pieces out of it, and learned more than I even care to mention. And now, I have all of August to work on my 4th year film. And hopefully get my website back in working order, as its been down for almost a year now.

Right now however, I'm going to go through all my film work, and scan and organize it all, and then we're going to see Stepbrothers.

'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

2008-05-13T20:15:00.000-04:00

Ok. So its summer. As in school is over and I've started my internsip. Having no homework is awesome, however I can't shake off this feeling of guilt from not doing any for so long, even though I have none.
To solve this problem I've been drawing more than usual and working on my film for next year. Thus far I've got the story and the characters sorted out, and I've just started thumbnailing the storyboard. I might post more of the design stuff later, but for now, here's some other things!

Video games are another plus to it being summer. So heres some video game art. I love Zelda and I love Pokemon. So deal with it.

That All Around "Good Guy"

2008-04-13T01:22:00.000-04:00

Want to know how cool I am?

Thats how cool I am.
I just spent the afternoon watching George of the Jungle. The original series, not the new one in which all the charm has been washed away by colours that are too bright and characters that are too hip and jokes that are non-offensive and not funny. I'm having problems with all these old cartoons being updated for new younger audiences, and not just because its never as good. More so, because when I was growing up most of my favorite cartoons were made decades before I was born. Its a shame is all I'm saying.

Stay tuned for some Roger Ramjet, because he is the coolest. Cooler even than George of the Jungle, though in a fight I'm not sure who would win.

FiddleSticks

2008-03-09T13:49:00.000-04:00

So these are for my 4th year film. I want 3rd year to be done real bad.

My website hasn't been up for many moons, and I think I'm going to work on that today, assuming I get a comfortable amount of animation done. Looking through my crappy old drawings from highschool that are still on my computer has made me want to revamp my crappy old website.

An Old Painting

2008-01-09T21:18:00.000-05:00

I drew this last year, and painted it last night for my portfolio. In other news, I'm sick a lot and its getting really annoying.

Drawrings

2007-11-27T20:02:00.000-05:00

I just animated a moon that looks like its made of jello. On purpose though, so its ok.

Just some random stuff I've done over the past couple days.

Interplanet Janet; Shes a galaxy girl

2007-10-26T00:48:00.000-04:00

School House Rock is super awesome. I love that a large portion of the characters don't even have eyes due to their crazy-outrageous hair. I've been drawing a lot with ballpoint pen lately, as per this picture. I haven't done so since highschool and I'd forgotten how comfortable it is. Highfives for not having the option to erase!

Smoosh.

2007-10-04T19:58:00.000-04:00

I don't know if this is done or not yet. I did the drawing over a year ago, so I'm not too excited about painting it anymore. There was supposed to be a lunchbox in her hand, which is why it looks weird and clumpy.

This ones progress.

2007-09-19T18:28:00.000-04:00

Back at schooooooooool.

2007-05-01T16:12:00.000-04:00

She's going bald. Hah.

Boobies!

2007-04-06T14:36:00.000-04:00

I coloured this real fast this morning. My computer desk feels like its on a slope and I'm not sure why. That's all.

2007-02-22T22:53:00.000-05:00

Working character designs.

2007-01-20T17:32:00.000-05:00

New blog! new blog! blue car!
