A quick light-hearted drawing yo start things off. My buddy Adam Murray and Jewbacca for all you Starwars fans |
Otherwise, this week I am compiling a Demo reel which I most likely post next week. I have to start applying for internships soon.
This week I wanted to give a shout out to some film makers who i have done collaborations with and show a little something from each.
Here is a small clip of animation I did for Julia Haberstick's film Minding. This film was a great live action/animation collaboration about a young boy who tells stories to himself for reasurance. By animating the stories he tells in an un-finished looking loose style, the animations really compliment the child's state of mind. These are two pencil tests i did for the film. In the film these are cut in between live footage
This shot was from a low angle following a mouse and he goes into a cheese shop. This was difficult because I had to do the pan but also have this man (up about) bundling up a package of cheese.
I did some animation on Rachel Gitlevich's film about a caveman who finds a cave full of drawings of animals that move. Here are some pencil tests I did for that film.
I used to work in a pet store. These are bearded dragons fighting

Next I wanted to express my excitement for Daniel Speers' Film Infinite which I did Concept/planning art on in the begining stages and fully storyboarded. I never really got to show any of the artwork I did for him and I thought it found be interesting to post a view of my favorite panels I did for it. I also won't explain the panels or the story because I don't want to spoil anything. I was ultra excited to work on a Sci-Fi film and to practice the storyboarding skills I learned from Mike Manley, my (great) storyboarding teacher from last semester.
And here is the Poster I designed for the film.
I realized I haven't shown much int he way of video thus far so I figured I would start. Here is an old Loop I did last semester that I liked. I particularly enjoy loops because I can finish an interesting, yet fairly illustrative animation in a short amount of time (I can put more into less frames)
I wanted to post a sketch this week but honestly I haven't has much time. So I dug up some old pictures to post for those of you interested.
My friend Steve is currently getting some Ink done on him. The picture is something I put together for him and I found this other one I did for my friend Paul who has this tattood on his belly.
Steve's tat- I just composited some images and and did some tweaking as well as a little modifying in the drawings. I drew some of it darker to inhance contrast. A little photoshop play.
Bear tearing apart a hunter. still makes me laugh
This is supposed to be sideways. Its a cover for a demo cd my grind/hardore/thrash/punk band Gut Instinks did. We are on hiatus now but if your interested- www.myspace.com/gutinstinks. I just figured I'd post this cause I came across the illustration again when I was cleaning out a hard drive.
Anyway, thanks for reading/ checking out my weekly/semi-weekly blog. I really appreciate the support and always appreciate feedback!
you guys are great. peace.
