For someone who loves tea more than you.

Time for a classic: the sketch dump.

Some of these are old and some are new. Some are from life and some are not. Some are also studies of others work. I have been trying to ease myself back in to my sketchbook. It seems that there was a hefty "I-no-wantee-draw" period of mourning after Pest Control finished. I have definitely pushed past that.

My quality review of The Waking Dead.

Pest Control is Online

Guess what I am finished?

Congratulations to everyone who has completed their films. It was a rollercoaster of 4 years, especially this last one. All the best to everyone and their efforts in the industry.

Take me out to the ball game.

I like it rough. (animation that it!)



EDIT: Today feels like one'oh'dem good days. I have decided to post one of the little comic strips which I submitted to The Escapist (host of Zero Punctuation videos) to try and become their regular webcomics guy. They are having a competition for the position. Go check it out! If I fail miserably I will post the rest here, and probably continue the series right on my blog until I get bored of doing it. Enjoy.

EDITx2: If anyone is noticing the videos are down, it is Blogger. I am in the process of updating everything over to vimeo now. Thanks for everyone who has brought this issue to my attention.

Not sure if anyone who follows me follows the work of Mr.Kevin Smith but if you are not a fan, Kevin Smith is the director of Clerks (among other movies) and has recently found himself in a debacle with Southwest Airlines who claim he is to fat to fly. It was the recent topic of discussion on Kevin Smith's weekly podcast (SModcast) which is available here. A forum which deals around SModcast related art is available and I decided to share this piece. Enjoy.

Oh yeah, one last thing: film making is one hell of a process.

This is my animation at nearly 50% complete though it really doesn't seem that way because many of the bigger more animation-heavy scenes are the ones still in limbo. I unfortunately have a lot of timing and composition issues from scene to scene which I will have to tackle soon. Right now if feels paced so fast that you can hardly follow it. I will add some breathing time.

Welcome to 2010.

This is a production work-flow test for Pest Control. This is Scene 10 and will potentially go in to the film unchanged from what you see here. Below are paintings which I have been working on. It may be some time before I post the whole film up on my blog. Every once in a while I will put pencil tests and completed scenes like the one above so enjoy those.




(That last one is me thanking my dead computer for frying after a days worth of work before I could back it up. I'm a PC and Blue Screen of Death was my idea.)
