Just ordered some new portfolio books. These will serve as the front and back cover for this round.
then there's this old watercolor i've had sitting around:
oh this thing is updated.

Hey guys - I've been pretty busy with a job that keeps me doing traditional animation (yay!) I've also been pretty sad, my cat was put to sleep yesterday - So i slacked on the blog for a while.
Here's some pages from my sketchbook for now.
Hey guys! Sorry i've been gone for a month or so..... Have a lollipop...
Here are a few Christmas Gifts i made for folks this year: a Monkey King that i entered in my family's "wacky" Santa-swap and a Cooking Chicken (kinda Jon Burgerman-esque) i did for my mom's kitchen.
Sorry about the photo's these were too big to scan!
I've been a bit under the weather this week so i spent my time last night sketching and channel surfing. This is the culmination of about an hour or so of head sketching before the Nyquil set in.
I usually keep a lot of stuff to myself but today i feel generous - so here's 20 images (0r so?) from the past two weeks.
Random Image from my Children's Book:
Some Preliminary stuff for my short film/pitch:
Superhero stuff :
This Batman is a gift that i keep forgetting to mail! (Doh! i'll do it tomorrow)
This guy's name is Slam Bradley.... I wish i drew his face/hand a little different in the first pic
Moleskine pages (doodles)
I get this song stuck in my head at least once a week.... :(
note* : It's okay if you love DMB, but you should probably lose the super duck butt you have on your head and also the seashell necklace.
Doodle research for my chidlren's book.
Regular Page of doodles:
Random Freelance Design:
Question: Whats cooler than a vampire?
Answer: A werewolf that breathes fire! (let's hope Sam Merlotte turns out to be so cool)
I did a quick color job over a sketch from my sketchbook -
The children's book i am illustrating (for myself) has a neater style and is all done with an ink brush on bristol. So needless to say, it was really nice to change it up and keep it rough.
I'm also working on a short film now - so come back soon i may put up some designs in the next few weeks .
I had the pleasure of hosting 5 of my friends from Berlin for 3 weeks last month, so I never had too many opportunities to draw amongst the tourism and fun times. This painting is about 2 months old now - I was trying for an 1940's watercolor look, instead of the more modern schemes we seem to use now. However, the color is a bit funky from it not being scanned, but rather taken via a digital camera.
I can't wait to try more watercolor illustrations :)
So i was planning on doing a major update this week....
BUT!
When i came back to my apartment on Sunday afternoon apparently there had been a leak and my apartment had been broken into by the super. He must have grabbed my stack of drawings off my desk to soak up a puddle because they were all ruined and on the floor.
so theres about 75 - 100 pages of doodles that will never see the light of day.
I put some of the salvage-able ones on the top and took a picture.
oh well at least i had a fun day at the beach Saturday.
P.S. Don't forget to watch NiteFite this thursday!
this may come as a shock to some of you but....
i don't post everything i draw - i just started to feel guilty that i hadn't posted latley so i grabbed these scraps off my desk. Certainly not my best drawings - but just some doodles to show. I promise to upload more "refined" work in the future.
Until then!
I got busy between 2 jobs and a certain someone was in the hospital...
so between the two i have neglected this poor blog.... sorry!
You can also see a random doodle of mine on the front page of the frederator blog!
(how cool is that?)
Here's the link
Here's a doodle for today.
I think this could be the movie I am looking forward to the most this summer.
more drawings (digital paintings) of Iron Man to come later.
*edit*
Here's another doodle...
Ladies and Gentlemen..... Larry Poon
I saw this velour sweat-suit wearing comedian on Friday. He wasn't the funniest comedian I ever saw, but what a weird character. He stole a pitcher of beer right of the table of guys in front of us, and started drinking it.
After the show when he removed the sweats and adorned regular clothes he was a bumbling nervous mess as he offered to pay for the beer he ganked. It was just interesting to see that type of change in a character.
two posts in two days? Unheard of!
I apologize for only posting crappy warm up doodles, since that's all i have to show right now.
I'm gonna start posting more often after April 11th (working 2 jobs right now has me a little run down).
Maybe i'll even do a post a day until May!
Here is another.....warm up doodle from today.
My scanner is broken so i haven't been able to do any updates lately. I guess i'll just keep all my pencil and watercolor work to myself :).
Here's some digital stuff i had laying around and my new avatar animation - it's a rockfish
Get it?
note to self: buy a cintiq - the wacom tablet isn't cutting it.
Ink Wash/Paper....
There will be another update soon, i have a stack of drawings i have to pick through and post some of the decent ones. I might also post up some freelance character designs.
Also here is a commercial i did for Net 10 @ world leaders... Some of the drawings seem to have changed a bit in clean up. I wonder if it is okay to post the pencil tests now? hmmm....
Al Pardo posted up some really fun and inspirational animation -
and so i decided to animate for fun tonight.
So blame this on Al.

I saw this rad lobster costume this year but it was three hundred and fifty bucks. If i was a kid i would have had my mom sew me one kinda like this quick doodle.
* uploaded a new version. the other sketch lacked confidence.
and here's some extra drawings i had sitting around
life's gotten a bit busy lately.....
but i still manage to find time to draw on my lunch breaks.
These ones were done yesterday and today.
special thanks to Danny Hynes for showing me how a civilized person would hold a tea cup (aka not how a moron like me would hold it).
Edit* i added some rough colors onto the guy... i have to finish the bg and tighten up my palette a bit
I've been doing a flash animation test in my spare time with one of Jared Deal's
characters. I have a bunch of it roughed out, i'll post it again as soon as i get the clean up finished.
I can't wait until i have a cintiq and can toss out this old wacom tablet....

oh and i'm reposting my thesis here because i have gotten a lot of people asking to see it again.

Playing around with painter.
I wanted to capture that moment that you can see right before a heavy smoker lights up and kills that nicotine itch.
and sorry these still haven't gone out.... i've been going a bit crazy trying to make these more than just a burned dvd... this weekend (keeping my fingers crossed)
I have decided to start all over again and delete the last 3 years of my blog (it's all saved in draft format). These are just some doodles i had kicking around from today and the last week or so. I'll update again sometime next week. For those of you who are waiting for a DVD in the mail - it's getting sent out this weekend!
