It Lives!

Hiya folks.  

I know, I know… I know.  It’s been a while...  

Things got a little crazy last semester and A LOT has happened since.  For one, my thesis film is DONE.  I can’t say when it’ll go public, but when it does, y’all should totally watch it.    

my spoof movie poster (a Ringling tradition)

...and a still from the film

In other news, I’ve graduated Ringling, moved to California, and started a freelance gig at Blur Studio, storyboarding for The Goon.  So life is pretty neat right now.  I’ve got a few small projects in the works and now that I’m not tied down to thesis, this blog will get the partial love it so deserves. So stick around maybe because more stuff will come.  Oh yes it will.

Holly Jolly Golly

Yes, Merry Christmas indeed... or Hanukkah or Kwanza or National Bouillabaisse Day (google taught me that last one)- Whatever your thing is :) 
FYI, this is my thesis character, Leah.
Look for her in my senior film, millions of years from now when I actually finish and release the darned thing.  (Probably sometime later this summer). 
AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Hello Again

OK I know I haven't been very good to the blog lately- let's just say I've been busy.  I got back to school a week late and now I'm madly hacking away at my thesis film.  In the meantime, here's a bunch of doodles I did over the summer.

 

Kersplickety

 With the turning of May, I unload the usual brigade of summer drawings:  fat mammalians, strange faces, and all that other stuff I do.  The last one’s for Lily- Thanks for the amazing book :)

Junior LipSync Assignments

Hey everyone.  This is what I worked on when I WASN"T doing prepro.  I sort of ran out of time for these but... eh.  Here they are for now.  Behold: Lipsync and Take Two (with special guest rig, Kendra Phillips)

Nut-Cracked

This was my second pitch for thesis.  Have you ever noticed how sinister and terrifying nutcrackers are?  I mean look at them!  It's a tiny wooden man with painted baby teeth used for BREAKING things.  I think its time for everyone to be secretly afraid of them... as I am. 


and now its Time for some sweet, sweet assets...

 Character Designs

I've been drawing versions of this punkass, beaver-toothed kid since early high school.  There's just something about his character I find wonderfully aggravating- but he's just a kid so you can't beat him up... unless you're a nutcracker.
