molly...

hopefully, this explains why i haven't been around much lately...io think i'll be back to gettin some more drawrin's up over the holidays.

happy festivus!

there's no place like home...

i gotta get to this a lot more often than i do. working in flash has robbed me of all my pencils, but i stole one back. take that, flash!

profile...

i did this drawing the other day at a drawing session organized by some work mates. good ol' fashioned graphite on newsprint. felt good. it's nice to draw from life again...

a couple more...

here's a couple more layouts for the show i'm currently working on that i built in flash...

five at once, baby...

so...i guess that's what happens when you don't post in a while. nothin' for a while, then -- boom. whole bunch at once...

this is a sequence of background images that i built for the show i am currently working on. they are done completely using flash. i figured i'd throw them up for fun. enjoy...

excuse me, miss, 1983 called...they'd like their hoop earrings back...

i can't beleive how busy everything has been lately (insert tiny violin playing just for me here). now that i've moved from animation over to location design things seem to be non stop. it's great though. i'm happy to have been given the opportunity to do both anim and design...it gives me a more detailed appreciation for the production, and how important it is to be thorough for the sake of the person after you in the 'assembly line'...

rest -- words of wisdom...

this is a tee i screen printed for my friend, jon izen. he gave me one of his drawings, i made up the screen, and then he went haywire...printed shoes, shirts for his son isaac, he printed the pants he was wearing for christ's sake...

i'm very happy how the tee's turned out. i think they look great. he has a pile of them, so if you want one check him out at www.jonizen.blogspot.com and leave him a message. check him out anyway...it's brilliant stuff...

delovely...

these sketches aren't without their flaws, but i guess that's what you get. interesting what happens after looking at some wonderful and inspiring drawings and photos of the notorious betti page -- even if my sketches bare absolutely no resemlbance at all to her. man, she's delightful...

yuk it up...

funny what comes out when you're waiting around...or where you're waiting, in this particular case. i heart happy...

uh oh...

still tryin' to figure out what the hell is going on with photoshop...as you can see, we're gettin' some speed wobble on the ol' shopping cart here...

ol' swirly eyes....

it's been forever and a day, it seems, since my last post. the usual excuses apply here as well...busy at work, busy at home, busy, period. no rest for the wicked, i always say...

this is a scribble i did during a recent meeting (yes, i was still paying attention). lately, i find myself using this 'continuous line' approach to drawing...i guess that's not such a bad thing...

ahhh, le visage...

this is another attempt at digital painting...well, a digital chalk drawing if you want to get technical. i'm getting more familiar with ps as time goes on, but ctrl + z is still a very close friend of mine.

seeing as i never saw myself as much of a painter, i'm happy with this result. now i just need to put more miles behind the brush so this program can start to feel like less of a shopping cart...maybe more like one of those smart cars...they handle ok, i think...

lines and flowers and squares, oh my...

is this thing on?

first, happy new year! it's been a hectic few weeks, which i suppose is par for the course for the holidays. now that my belly's full of turkey and chocolate, i plan on getting here to post, and to visit everybody a lot more often. here's a doodle i did during the holidays. my nephew did the first 4 or 5 groupings of arcs in the bottom right hand corner and then abandoned the drawing...got bored i suppose. the rest materialized after he left his lonely lines to die...i guess i saw an end to his beginning...

now that i'm having fun with lines again, maybe it's time to get a bit more ambitious...
