some royal winter fair stuff

Here's a sketch from the royal winter fair. I think my favorite thing about the fair is the bratty kids. More to come.

rough horse walkcycle

Wow, loading swf's is... a task within its self. Yeesh. Well here's my rough walk cycle for a horse, its nothing special. But I figured since I havne't updated in a while its better than nothing.


*****edit If anyone knows what I did wrong with this swf file I'll mail you a cookie, or a banana bread.

Stoked!

Man I wish every blog entry didn't start with "I feel bad cause I haven't updated" but alas, I do feel bad.
I've been kinda busy with the day job so I figured I'd do a post about it! I really dig work'n on this show and I hope you guys check it out, 100% Canadian!
You can watch full episodes on teletoon!

work sketchies

hurray for flash..

some explaining..

been a bit ugh... sparse here on zee blog as of lately because well I'm moving soon, and yeah apparently packing is time consuming. But expect a legit post this weekand.

I've got some talented friends!

I'm not really your typical blogger, I don't expect you to care what I'm into, or deem my likings to steal time from your every day life. BUT TODAY I DEMAND SOME OF YOUR ATTENTION!
Firstly please check out this comic by Troy Little. I really enjoyed reading it! If you dig zombies, have a bit of a dark sense of humour, and billy Joel, this is up your alley. Troy's work is truly inspiring. You can check out his blog at http://meanwhilestudios.blogspot.com/
Secondly, have a listen to this band ARCTHELINE! I got the oppertunity to see my friends band live, and gotta say I really enjoyed it, Check them out at www.arctheline.com

twilight, comic, and more comic.

alrighty, I've been kinda busy with work and getting up to speed so I haven't had much time lately to do my own stuff. I read twilight, it was awesome because well... read the comic. The other stuff is well my more final character designs from my comic I'm doing.

farewell

Well the tides change yet again, and under the cover of a new moon I am taken to a new sea, and to a new harbour. Look at me go with them crazy analogies! *translation: I finished up at my current job and now on to a new things.
One thing I find tough about making cartoons is having to leave and go to the next job. But at least the common denominator is I always get to work with awesome people who's friendships I'll always cherish. Thanks pipeline for being a fun place to work, like the studio's before you, I hope I get a chance to go back there.
Thanks for the good times y'all!
PS. brian, keep the sketch group alive man!

kiss them boys

Never thought I'd EVER pick up gouache again. But strange things happen every day.

happy valentines day!

ye old dead film

Its a bg that I liked from my film. I spent too tooo much time on the backgrounds for it and didn't get a chance to work to hard on the animation. In retrospect it was lesson learned; making film hard. It wasn't finished, and it never will be.

ester and robot love

I don't know if I'd drawing this character consitent enough yet, but this is a character I'm putting into a possible comic. The second thing is a thing I did for the lunchly wall, the theme was star wars vs star trek- personally I think the two shows can live in peace and love! both pieces are done in watercolour. I'd like to say too, it maybe a while before I can post again cause my break's over and I'm back at work.
oh yes, and I learned how to do stuff on blogger! Go me! Happy new years!

Dear Blog, I have... a confession

I love Sailor Moon, I'm a huge fan girl. There you go, I said it. Ridicule if you must, or unite silently! This is ... a very kind self portrait of myself. I love super powers and all, but if I actually ever wore the costume, I'd be pretty... uncomfy. And yes can't go with out converse ;)

merry christmas!

Merry Christmas!

some people

Some people studies from the caf.

for a friend.

right... so updating... regularly. oh.. the funny.

Alright. so my blog has been basically fed enough to not to starve- so I"m hoping that my sketch books over the past few months will satisfy for a bit. Again busy/lazy, enjoying sleep more then paper... you know the drill. I've become a pussy.
not a lot of explination needs to go here. Their people and a few random animals. the hockey kids are from a illustration i did for a friend a long loooong time ago...
Huzzah! Be satisfied thow-shall-not-be-named person who has been on my back about not updating. But... thanks. I probably need the pestering/motivation.

hipster girl

ahhhh happiness is flash 8.

painting.. sorta

I was inspired by a friend Marco and May Wa to tackle painting again. Its from a photo from www.nationalgeographic.com. Anyways, I'm always down for critiques and comments!
Thanks

sketches

I was watching the special features to Jungle book, and there was bit of advice from wooly wutherman (one of the nine old men ) and he stated that "you gotta care about the story your telling. Your like an oral storyteller, and you gotta make them care about what you care about." I like that. With me personally I tend to draw for the sake of drawing. So Lately I've been focusing on my posing, and their expression and trying to think about what their do'n. I'll post more on teh story later. But for now he's some poes of some characters I've been toying around with.
