So, Ive decided to fulfill a lifelong dream and start building puppets. Here is a little video of the first one. Its insane how rewarding it is to do this kind of thing.
This was for a friend of mine. It was a project that never materialized but I'm happy with the way it turned out. It's always nice to bring a piece to finish...I should probably do it more often.
I've been doing a lot of drawing, which is great...because now I can actually update this somewhat regularly! This is all just stuff I've been doing at work whenever I can sneak 15 minutes or so.
Okay...so I did this after looking at Phil Rynda's blog and all of the wonderful black and white studies he has up there. It's a total knock off, but it was a lot of fun to do, and it made me think about the whole piece instead of just doodling. So this is what happened to me this morning. Yes, I killed something that was on it's back already and yes, that is my ass.
I'm in LA for a bit to work on DJ and the Fro! It's awesome out here, but NY will always be home. Here are some old phone paintings (made with Brushes on the iphone) that I have lying around and a flash doodle page. I know, I know...more Harry Potter. What can I say? I'm a huge effing nerd.

This is my thesis from SVA '06. There's so much that I would change, on top of the fact that I never finished....but all in all I think it's a good mark of where I was at the time, so here it is. For posterity.
So I've been geeking out HARDCORE on some Harry Potter lately and these are some doodles that have been borne out of that. The blue ones are recent...the Hermione sketches on the bottom are from about a year ago.
Now that I'm doing character design I haven't drawn Brock in a long time. And I used to draw him every day, for hours! And what can I say...I miss the big guy. This is officially the most carried away I've gotten with a doodle.
Just a sketch I did today. I don't really know where it came from, except that Joe and I were talking about politics last night and I guess this guy is talking politics. Anyway. I regret shading it...but oh well.
So, I was looking at Phil Rynda's blog at his beautiful warmup sketches that he has up...and I decided to do a warmup of my own. My only real intent for this was to loosen up, and try to turn off the thing in my brain that limits most of my drawings to things that will strictly work in animation. I just wanted to draw for drawings sake. This is just a section of an 8 by 10 psd file. My plan is to eventually fill the whole thing, adding a little each day. Anyway....check out Phil's blog philrynda.blogspot.com ...there's a lot of amazing work. I hope I didn't rip him off too much
It's been a while...so i figured a post was in order...these are just some random doodles I had on my computer at work. I'll try to be better about posting in the future...but no promises...never make promises...it only gets you into trouble.
Here's a work in progress. I've been watching a lot of Bond movies lately...and working on Venture Brothers. So I wanted to do something that incorporated both of those. It's definitely a departure in terms of style...but I'm happy with how it's turning out. It needs work, so any criticisms or critiques are welcome.
