Quick n Dirty Halloween

To everyone who wanted my head on a platter, dig in!

Boo!

Dealing with trouble...

How I wish I had a band of heroes to help me deal with all the nut-cases in this world.

This is just a first pass in Photoshop from a quick sketch I did at the coffee-house.

Summer's over...

Time marches on, my sister said there's Christmas stuff in Wal-Mart already.

Ugh.

Women In Animation storyboard pitch nite 9-11-2007

This is not the right way to observe the results of the Bush administration's failures here and abroad, but I'm going to do it anyway. We are still lucky enough to be alive in a world where we have privileges like this:

The Women In Animation storyboard pitch nite was a great experience this summer. I hope to get back there again.

Pandora's Box on Summer Vacation!

Here's a snapshot of the "Pandora's Box" crew partying near Parry Sound, Ontario.
Even cartoon characters need a break.

Siggraph 2007

Trip to Canada, then to Siggraph. Just glad to get home in one piece.

Pandora's Box Rough Animatic

Still here. Summer is going by fast. I've been doing work, but its still really rough.




Had my storyboard gone over by the Women In Animation a few weeks ago, but it was so big, we couldn't show it all.

A bear and a ketchup bottle...

Or is it "catsup"? Don't you hate it when it won't come out?

War of the Worlds!

Or war of the time and budget worlds that is. Anyway, here's a trailer for our trailer!

47 times around the sun for me today. Yowza!

Rough Maquettes, Pandora's Box

Still chugging away on Pandora's Box. Carved these guys out styrofoam that would have wound up in a landfill.

Brentwood Television Funnies Logo Animation

Redid this for Tom T animation.

Pandora, before she gets Pandora's Box.

Maya 7.0 with Toonshader, and Voila', she's a tough cookie, smart as a whip, and ready to make trouble!

Its been awhile since I posted anything. Feb was a tuff month.

Back on the Road to Utopia!

From my storyboard Pandora's Box",I had to go beyond cleaning up the thumbnail sketch in Photoshop, virtually had to redraw it.

Here's the airport tavern where the Bear from the blimp meets the locals.

(And he thought he was walking into an "Appleby's"!)

Young frankenstein

Its Gene Wilder's voice, I hope he doesn't mind me using it with this character.

Santa needs a new computer

Ho ho, ohhh-!

I had lost the latest file for my poster for the Guild 839 party. Here was the last backup file. Its pretty close.

I wish you the Bestest and Brightest!

Lamby, "Bear" (just "Bear" for now), Obsidian the Dragon-guy, "Cubcake", Pandora herself and the Bio-soldier. On a trip like this, you find out who your friends really are.
