Contest Submission

I submitted this leica as part 1 of the Sydney Graphics Animation Competition.

20 sec max

Must contain something 7 yrs

Must have theme of recovery

Must have a yawn.

Needless too say after watching it, the whole thing is on speed. What started out as a whimsical thumbnail sequence turned into a silly 20 sec leica in two days of last minute work. Color would've been nice.

Make sure you vote for me asap! If I win................I get to submit ANOTHER leica of total nonsense that will hopefully explain this ones many lingering questions.

An illustration I just finished up. It involved Peter Pan.

Color Studies

Downtime at work.

This is the USS Macon. It was one of the last air ships built in America that crashed of the coast of California in 1935. Look at the construction scaffolding! AND while in flight it served as a aircraft carrier for smaller bi-planes. Too cool. But huge and impractical. I was amazed by this so I cut it out of the Nat Geo it was in. Ya Airships!

Finally a post!

Some randoms to keep the blog ......ALIVE!!!!!! : o

Uh oh! Someone started coloring......
Drawing like your 6 yrs old is awesome.

More lines.

REAL people doing REAL things!

Life drawing from the sea wall and the library. Ya dogs!

Been a while....

The blog was obviously on hiatus for a wee bit. I've started as a T.A. in the 3D department of the Vancouver Film School, and so far I'm really enjoying it! Here are some recent sketches. Some exploratory thumbnails, and a rendering that somehow materialized during a class. More to come!

Faces!

Here are a couple of portraits out of a National Geographic I had. The older fellow is bigger than my wussy little scanner hence the fragmented result.

Flash Wacky-ness

Uuuraaaggghhh.

Been a while

Playing around in painter a few months ago. Ya lasers.

There was a protest at the library on Sunday, a good opportunity for observation and life drawing. I spent most of the time just looking but a few drawings came out too. A very interesting situation. I really enjoy watching raw human interaction like this, always inspiring.

Friday Bike Ride...

Poses from the beach.

Some drawing I found lying around, and I liked it!

Thought I'd REALLY try and earn my self assigned blog title.

Some people from the beach and a dinosaur from my head.

Spring Monsters!

Some random sketches from the pool.

Playing around with spaceship concepts.

Crazy guy!

Some quick facial expressions I did this morn. Then I drew them. The three with gray hair were some preliminary studies.

Life Drawing Porfolio Update

A collection of life drawings done over the last 6(ish) months.

Figure Drawing

Some life drawing from sun/friday. I always like to change my approach when I'm drawing. As a teacher recently told me and I'm para phrasing; "the more ways you have to look at the model, the more tools you have to represent it".Here I was working on being a little more exact with the placement/measurement of things, and, recognizing silhouette by acknowledging under lying structure.

Movie Doodles...

I was watching the animated version of "Return of the King" today, I really like the design in it, and "The Hobbit". I was drawing randomly as I watched. Some of my favorite drawings are done when you're doing something else at the same time.

Rocks and Stuff!

Some studies I dug up. Ba-zing.

A robot drawing from a few months ago.

Saturday Morning

Some hand studies before bed and some thumbnail wackiness from this afternoon.
