late

2010-11-23T04:24:00.000-08:00

this is pretty much what happens every time i'm late for stuff.

HARRY AND ALFONSO circa 2009

2010-09-21T13:02:00.000-07:00

This was my first attempt at making a book about harry and alfonso. I did this last summer but ended up giving up because i didn't really have any of the characters figured out, the writing was horrible and completely done on the spot, and the tone was all over the place. but still i had a lot of fun doing it and i hope you'll enjoy my dated jokes!

I am working on something right now that's A LOT BETTER. i'm really happy with the way the outline came out (it's because i wrote it!) and i can't wait to get it done!

super old!

2010-09-21T12:20:00.000-07:00

dudes i was dusting through the ol' hard drive and found this nugget of gold! i did this like a million years ago, back when i just got my iphone and those stupid axe commercials were ubiquitous! i don't remember why i didn't post this back then (maybe i thought the jokes were bad. they still are.) but i'm above humiliation now so here it is!

this is the new trailer or whatever from a revival of mortal kombat they're doing, or pitching...something. anyways i really like the way they fleshed out some of the characters like reptile and scorpion... but i thought the idea of baraka being a plastic surgeon that went insane was pretty funny. i mean, that's a long way to go from being a plastic surgeon to fucking, blade armed demon mutant from hell.

anyways i was wondering what they have in store for the other characters. so here's a doodle.

2010-03-28T13:02:00.000-07:00

messing around in photoshop. started out one way and ended up something totally different! i liked super cheesy sci fi illustrations when i was little so i think that's what the second one kind of turned into...

training advice

2010-03-17T16:07:00.000-07:00

i take my puppies to training class on mondays now. there's this guy who cracks me up. he goes there with his wife and their puddle, who barks incessantly for most of the class, and interrupts the instructor with hilarious insights into dog training.

i think this is probably hilarious only to me because i'm always the only one who laughs at his comments. but i think it's his dry, matter of fact delivery that cracks me up. also they're almost always centered around "hitting the animal makes it behave better." which is something that i cannot argue.

harry the cobra

2010-02-21T21:51:00.001-08:00

a drawing i did during the week. i havn't drawn harry in a really long time. it's getting harder and harder to draw the way i used to because i'm doing so much stuff for work now and it's changing the way i draw every day. i really gotta spend more time doing my own stuff...

i had the worst food poisoning from my sushi lunch last friday. it was a place that i went often and the people there are very nice. but they caused me incredible pain.

also! i am engulfed in puppies! they're german sheperd dogs and are super energetic and cute. here's a drawing!

update ahoy!

2009-11-20T18:41:00.000-08:00

i started on genndy tartakovsky's new show symbionic titan this past september and i've been super busy! i wish i could share some of the work i've been doing for the show here. i can't wait till it's on air so everybody could see it. it'll be COOL. set your tvo to stunned.

school has been taking some what of a back seat this semester but here are some things i've been working on. a couple of design things for stephen silver's class and a couple of super fun sketches i did in petkov's directing for animation class, which is at 9 in the morning and completely HILARIOUS.

enjoy!

it's discoveries like this that makes me love nature.

hiking

2009-08-03T18:45:00.001-07:00

went hiking with nealon yesterday. it was beautiful but i ran out of water. during one of my many complain sessions a fly flew into my mouth, and i didn't have enough saliva to swollow it so it just sat angrily on the back of my throat until we found civilization again.

kung fu guy

2009-07-27T21:39:00.001-07:00

if anyone saw my last post, i fixed up the drawing after seeing some amazing artwork today. if you didn't see it, this is a character i thought about putting in my comic book later on in the story. a kung fu guy in a sea of kung fu guys. but HE has cool 80's battle mullet.

underpants are for girls.

the morning

2009-06-23T22:14:00.000-07:00

sick, beat up, and shaved. all signs of a great night.

marine for a day!

2009-06-22T22:31:00.000-07:00

so recently, under some pretty unusual circumstances, i was allowed to participate in an all day training exercise with a whole unit of real life marines! although i can't talk about what we did, i can tell you that their flak vests are FREAKING HEAVY! a couple of guys were nice enough to let me try one on and it's like wearing a bell around you and it makes running and moving around a real challenge. those guys did it all day and they're the real deal. support your troops man!

take it to the skies!

2009-06-22T18:53:00.000-07:00

rumble in the ...skyumble.

again with the violence!

2009-06-20T21:37:00.001-07:00

from a story i'm too lazy to finish! again with the attack theme. perhaps i'm finally ready to do something more peaceful.

let's use the big leaf of enlightened levitation!

for my new canadian friends.

2008-11-22T15:31:00.000-08:00

here's the first three pages of a first stab at the comic series me and alonso are working on. these are from my first failed pass and have pretty much have nothing to do with the story now. the film we're making together this year is also based on the comic book series. the story is still in the molding process. plus i'm still working on formating this thing right. which explains the massive amount of black on each page. more to come soon.

return of lu-tze!

2008-11-13T15:00:00.001-08:00

bringing back the pink old man for this 48 hour film adventure! the theme this year was hair.

big explosions are good because it gets people's attention.

2008-11-11T18:04:00.001-08:00

an animatic i made last month. i wanted to practice my perspective and i thought a chase scene would be a good idea.

power fist!

2008-09-07T10:25:00.000-07:00

i'm really psyched about fallout 3. bethesda released a demo that featured the power fist which i thought was really cool. i'm really digging this post apocolypitic world idea. i can't wait till it comes out.

walllllll-e

2008-06-30T22:02:00.000-07:00

life is still going good.the work is challenging in different aspects every week and i'm learning a whole lot. here's a picture of me and audrey looking like dorks in front of the giant inflatable wall-e. wall-e is definitely my favorite pixar character so far. such a great movie.

pixar

2008-06-16T20:20:00.000-07:00

pixar has been absolutely wonderful. i am learning so much everyday it's almost unbelievable. i feel like the luckiest man in the world right now. i love getting up in the morning for the work and especially the people.

i've learned a lot about myself. i finally feel like my life is going in the right track. updates soon!

starting from zero

2008-06-06T20:41:00.000-07:00

i did this drawing in the lab today listening to podcasts while diana and derek were hammering away at their dreamwork story tests. there was a portion in one of the shows about what you would do if you were a hornet cacoon in a spider while i was drawing, but it's not about anything really. just passing time.

i'm driving up to pixar tommorow. the first page of a new chapter.

SEXTECTIVE

2008-05-17T16:21:00.000-07:00

advanced karate over here!

2008-05-17T16:17:00.000-07:00

bits and pieces from my failed attempt at making a 22 minute film in 48 hours about manly men beating the tar out of each other. also something about vikings from last year and a huge thing on this story about two guys trapped in the desert and bug people.

it's all so very good.

boards about bug people

2008-05-17T16:14:00.001-07:00

you know what'd be really cool? if the words were all on this side.
