More boards...

I'm moving the studio this week - and it's the opposite of a blast. Should be fun when it's done though. Here was another set of boards I did for an on going web series...

One Hundredth Post

Apparently it's 100th post time. I wish I could've done something more special, but I've been putting it off and I'm on the road so a quick pencil sketch will do to celebrate. This keeps it kind of O.G. anyways.













So throughout some time, followed by about 99 blog posts and 11,270 visits - here we are. I would've considered myself a mediocre artist at best a couple of years ago when I started this thing, but I feel like I'm at least a bit more serviceable now.

It's funny to think that when I came out of school, I had to eliminate any graffiti related artwork from my portfolio - I was literally losing job opportunities because of it. It's great knowing now that I'm at a stage in my career where I can be more comfortable and choose my own clients. It takes time, but I think anyone can earn the right to make a living without conforming to someone else's narrow minded perspectives...

Ironically last fall I was even hired as a graffiti artist to work on the set of a Reebok commercial.

I want to thank anyone who has stopped by - as well as all the great people I have been fortunate enough to meet along the way. I greatly appreciate all of the interest and support!

Love Letter Animation

This is a 2D animation I had to turn around in a couple of days, thrown together using Photoshop and After Effects. You can see the storyboard I put together for it in my previous post as well.

Animation Storyboard

A board for a new animation I just produced. I didn't feel like breaking it into sheets so it's super-vert.

Sled Character Rehash

After my original sled designs we ended up going with a different style, a little less toony. This sheet gives an idea of the overall transformation I put them through.

New RJ illustration

This was some artwork I did for an RJ and The Imagination album. The band incorporates a lot of puppets, which is what you see there. They combine music with that type of performance, so my character designs are really just based off of their existing cast. (You can picture the Muppets)

Character sketches

Some sketches I had created for a proposal, a big bellied pig character.

Clubbers makes MTV debut

Our music video debuted on MTV last night, which is pretty cool. It should be running across their various other network channels as well. My goal was to focus on more animation work this year, but didn't expect to sneak something like this in. Working with some other great artists right now as well, so stay tuned.
