The big board.

Here is a quick snapshot of my storyboards all posted up!

General Update 7-13-11

Zeppellin was right, working from 7 to 11 every night kinda makes life a drag. Although I am not working those exact hours, mine are similar and yes it screws with your day to day activity. I can't sleep normal hours and I get more (and better quality) work done during crazy late hours such as right now. The daylight hours feel strange, not the way I like it. I am working to improve this.
NOW on to the sketching! Here is a page from my sketchbook that has (you guessed it...) NO meaning/explanation or future purpose, except for the honk squeesh top left, he's making a comeback. These are the playful doodles of an idle late night brain.
In other news; "Recipes for an Unhealthy Lifestyle" episode 2 is in pre-production! I am currently working on the third draft of storyboards and I am proud to say that it will blow episode one out of the water! I have a big ol cork-board loaded up with around 70 drawings, I'll get a photo of it posted here very soon, (it's cool to see my work up on the wall like this). Anyway enjoy the weird animals below :)

Isaac Asimov is cool

Everything Asimov just popped into my head out of nowhere and gave me a bunch of ideas. I want to make an ongoing weekly comic strip really bad but finding a subject i think i can stay interested in is not easy. Isaac Asimov must have been working nearly all the time. He wrote so many books, not just Science fiction either (syfy? I wish they had kept it sci-fi, barf noise. I have some ideas mixing around in my brain bucket about this and I think it could be fun. Anyway here is a portrait of the man done in photoshoppe. Enjoy till next time!

All Blue!


This painting actually takes place before the red sword. This was done at Ai Portland a couple monday nights ago. My instructor Za Vue finally got me to listen to her and attempt to break my paintings down with the three tone formula/technique. So far I am liking what I am learning.

All Red painting.

Here is a painting in acrylic on wood panel. I am trying paintings with only one color for a while, I am trying to steer my skills out of a self imposed rough patch, so to speak. Breaking down a painting into only three light tones makes things much simpler and more manageable, not only on the canvas and palette but especially in your head when you start thinking of "ways to fix this" Instead of just focusing on experiencing the moment/feeling or energy of the subject.

Nanner dudes comic


Here is a comic I sat down and made up as I went the other day. It was really fun, make any sense you can out of it. Silly stuff but I really would like to keep practicing these.
