New T-Shirt Design

Photobucket

Hey hey everyone, My friend, Colin, has started a really cool t-shirt company out of L.A. called L.A. NO Name and I've been asked to come up with some characters to go exclusively on their shirts, so of course I said yes. And here is the first one, which features a creature I call Spike, playing the guitar with his feet (he doesn't seem to have any arms or hands). If you're interested, you can purchase the shirts HERE! And make sure to check out their other cool shirts in their SHOP.

Here's a possum I drew recently that reflects my obsession with the girls that work at Hotdog On A Stick and wear those amazing uniforms. You go girls!

Watch "Pets Who Look Like Their Owners"

Photobucket

This was a stand alone short that I did at Tertiary, and I really love this one. It's more a practice in character design and sculpture than it is in animation itself, and I feel it really stands out as a unique piece apart from my other work. Rob Broadhurst wrote a wonderful little song for it, that just helps give it that "off" feeling. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it!

WATCH "Pets Who Look Like Their Owners" Here!

Drawing

Hey guys, thought I'd share some quick drawings I do when I watch TV......

Watch All The Fox & Calf Episodes Online!

Photobucket

You heard right! The video pages are up, and all five Fox & Calf episodes are now up for you to watch online! 

This is a series I hold very close to my heart, and I am really grateful to everyone else who was involved and who's fingerprints are very apparent on the films; particularly Rob Broadhurst's hilarious voice acting and inspired Theme Song, Robert Litton for the amazing scores that brought everything to life, Sam for teaching me how to light a set with character (particularly in Rhonda), Carlos Miller for his tight editing skills and great, subtle digital effects, and Carlos Gonzalez who created the most beautifully tacky 80's inspired opening credit's sequence. 

I'll try to run a few blogs over the next few weeks at Tertiary that talk about a few aspects of the production that are easier to talk about now that the episodes are up. So keep an eye out for those! Ok, hope you all enjoy the episodes!

My Art Book Is Now Available

Photobucket

I've had a lot of people ask me lately if they could purchase the art book I put together last spring so I've finally decided to make it available for purchase on Blurb.com. It's a 40 page collection I put together of some of my favorite pieces and Blurb's printing is top notch. So, if any of you are interested in a weird collection of fine art, sketches, character designs, etc; CHECK IT OUT HERE!

Four Down, So Many More To Go......

Photobucket

I just completed my fourth short for my new Tertiary Animated series Furryvale. Assuming Fox & Calf does get released sometime in August, I think there's a chance this new series will be released later in the fall. We'll just have to see. See more images from this latest short at my Tertiary Blog!
