Going Away For A While

Hey everyone! I have been keeping very busy lately, so much so that I haven't had the time or energy, so here's a bunch of new images for you all at once.

I'll be out of town for three weeks for my wedding, honeymoon and some other stuff so it may be a while until I post again. Until then, if you're craving some good claymation blogging, check out my buddies JRiggity and Pram Maven Films.

COOL Online Film Festival

Hey guys! Just wanted to let all you animators and filmmakers know about MOLI and Rhode Island International Film Festival's new online festival. It's quick, there's no entry fee, and you could win $1,000 cash. That'll buy you a lot of clay. If you are or know any animators or filmmakers, let them know about this fest! Go to moli.com/riiff.

Hippo Boss

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketSorry for the lack of updates, I've been so busy lately. Here's the fuller version of Christos Potamus, one of my newest and newly favorite characters. I appologize for the crappy photo and will try to take a better one that does the character more justice.
Works been good, though I have to admit that after spending the last 4 months in Cobb ripping through animation projects at warp speed, coming here to Florida and having to build a whole studio completley from scratch is slow and frustrating. I know that in the future I will be able to produce faster because of what we're doing here. But the animator in me is getting antsy and wants to see progress NOW. And leaving for 2.5 weeks for a wedding and honeymoon isn't going to make things faster. Oh well, Mainstream Holdings has a lot of really exciting plans for the future so I have to be patient and keep working hard, and eventually it will all pay off big time. Anyway, I will hopefully have a new in-progress character to share with you tomorrow or Tuesday. Ciao!
