Posted in Digital painting, Food Fight, Photoshop Painting, Work in progress, animated short, animation, character design, tagged , , , , on September 30, 2008 | 3 Comments »

This is a short sample of the animation I completed for the documentary called Food Fight directed by Chris Taylor. I put a silly old 78 recording with it, just to have some music. The actual soundtrack is a voice over covering the history of American agriculture and Govt. interventions since the great [...]

From the sketch book. I don’t know why I drew it…

I’ve mentioned before that I animated about 2 minutes for a feature documentary called Food Fight directed by Chris Taylor from November Films. I created it traditionally – hand drawn, ‘inked’ and colored in Photoshop and composited in After Effects (after getting rid of some bad RAM that caused minor disasters for a week or [...]

Literary Invasion

I’m so busy finishing up work I really have nothing to show, that I can show, that I want to show. SHow-sho-show. And when I am writing revisions to manuscripts, no one wants to see that.
I really love drawing aliens. More than monsters I think…
This is a bookmark I did for an upcoming event. So [...]

This animated film has me very, very interested. Waltzing with Bashir by Ari Folman looks to be one of those uses of animation that changes the game. It reminds everyone it’s not just a form for selling kids toys. It’s purpose is not to sell video games and Happy Meals. It’s not just a genre [...]

Off Topic Finanical Meltdown Day

A very good post by economist Joseph Stiglitz. I know we’re not supposed to listen to educated, experienced people who express their ideas based on book learnin’.

From an older portfolio

I should mention, as I get emails every so often about this, I know this blog is supposed to be all about what I draw and paint and seeing my work. But I use it for a bit more than that. I probably write more off-topics than on-topics. But the Flickr gallery collects most postings [...]

A quick work in progress. This is from a story that I have tackled many times and flipped around in many different ways. This is from a discarded version, but at least it’s something new to post!

new picture book work

Posted in Photoshop Painting, Work in progress, illustration, kids books, picture books, tagged , , on September 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »

This is a single page, greatly reduced, from the picture book I am currently working on. A scary page indeed! Of course, you’re missing the words, so you get half the story in the picture. The half that’s scary and you know, probably makes you ask – – ‘What’s going on there!?”
