Some Nudity for Your Tuesdity

I sketched this up in the wee hours of the morning today... my friend Tim Haldeen recently introduced me to the world of .03mm lead size and cross-hatching has never been more addictive.  Maybe it's the animator in me but I love tedious work sometimes.

Looking at it now he looks to me like a strung-out Mark Twain.

Tooooooooga.

Been busy the last couple of days coming up with these character designs.

Here's a tiny sample of some of the design & animation work I've been doing lately in Illustrator.  I'll make some time to post more and update my website soon.

Concept Art & Painting in Photoshop

I took a stab at some concept-arting* for a project last month that involved painting in Photoshop.  I haven't done much digital painting yet so it was pretty new to me; I really enjoyed doing it & want to work on refining it more.  Just think of all the detailed pimples & vivid in-grown hairs I could paint... maybe if I ever save up enough money to get me a fancy new Cintiq...**

More on these & what they're for later...

** In the meantime, I did take the time to pre-order Wacom's new Inkling on Amazon.com and if you love to draw and are looking for a $200 investment that will change the way you sketch & edit illustrations then I highly encourage you to do the same.  I think it will be a great opportunity to get back into hand-drawn animation as well, since there's no tedious need to scan every image.

Hustle 'n' Bustle

Here's an angry mob I whipped up for a recent freelance project.  BONUS: it's animatable!

More work coming soon, work has been all up in my guts as of late.

Off the Air "Dance" Titles

A good friend & former coworker at Columbia College gave me the wonderful opportunity to do a bit of animation for an [adult swim] show called Off the Air.  This episode was about dance, and I was commissioned to do the opening title sequence.  It was great to be a part of such an interesting piece of television, and not just endtags this time!

Thanks, Cody!

Irene says Hi.

Let's see how this pans out.

Officially Freelance.

That is all for today.

I drew this last night while watching crappy TV, just as my father would've wanted.  Miss ya Pops!
