Christmas composition

Some updated composition experiments attempts on the field day picture.  Previous thumbnails on this link.   Lluis would like to see some sort of story being told.  Good idea.  I will think about it.  Would like to keep working on this in different styles, mediums and mediums once we get the composition/story nailed down.

Return to Spring Studio

Back to Spring Studio for a day of drawing.  Was tired and burnt out, but that's no excuse so we got an early morning train to NYC.  The shorter gesture poses felt the best.  I'm trying to gesture the same size on newsprint as I'll draw on better paper.  Started falling apart on longer poses.  Thinking was hard and got overwhelmed by details.  The portrait session was a disaster as I was floundering.  BUT, I got a GREAT lesson from the monitor Lyle Gertz.  Called me out on floundering and set be back on track.  Goals for the new year are values, composition and getting out of my own way.  Once again,  a great group of people there to draw.  And the day before Christmas no less.

Devolution below.  Keep moving forward.

What the NONSENSE IS THIS!???

Return to the Carricature and some sketchbook

Aussies like "Fault" ...

It seems the fine film going fellows from down-under, have, for a second time, honored me with the enjoyment of my movie



It kind of makes the hours, and money, of submitting to festivals worth it. I'm glad some people are getting a kick out of it.

Short on Youtube

My short film is open again for viewing on youtube. Did about 6 months of festival stuff, and burned out. Not my bag of tea at the moment, so I let that train sail.

Evidently some one likes it. Might get a few more submissions out the door then.

Also the discussion for my film at Wild Sound up in toronto is on their site.

Sorry for the lack of art work up here, work has been insanity, plus, I just moved appts, thanksgiving, freelance, personal projects, ect.

In the mean time go check out the newest film at www.fortaxreasons.com. I went to school with Matt and Ben, and have the pleasure of working with Matt at the moment. Probably will be "working for Matt and Ben," in the future.

My Movie!

Here it was. Since I am trying to submit to film festivals at the moment, I am taking the film down. In a year, I'll put it back up. If you really want to see it, contact me, or your local film festival and request they screen it, as it really does look better on the big screen and with good sound.

Here is a "Hey-oh" to miscomunication.


rough animation in flash






sometimes you are just not strong enough.

and my time fills up.

Priroty number one, finish 3D character.

Priority number two: animate said character ... sickly

number three: film.

should be able to get my character up and running in under a week. And by week I mean 7 full days that I will be able to work on him.

last priority: make more time.

got intro shots animated for my film. using the computer for the crazier perspective.
