COMING SOON TO THEATERS...

Sorry, that's a lie. I just had the urge to create a poster for a psychedelic-western-action-horror-comedy. But now that I made this poster, I think I'll start writing it. If I quit my job I'm pretty sure I could be done animating in 20 or 30 years.

Old Mother Moth

Never misses a sunrise.

Just passing through...

Sending love and healing energy to everyone in Japan.

Little Street Fighter

This illustration is a tribute to my wife Laura who, at eight years old, bravely street fought the older boys at the local family restaurant arcade. No amount of exhaustive and futile button mashing could keep her from returning to her parent's table for more quarters.

She has the heart of a true street fighting champion.

The illustration below began with a lack of ideas. One night last summer, I felt the itch to create something but I couldn't seem to move beyond staring at a blank page. So in a creatively-blocked act of desperation, I hopped on google images and typed in random words; "angry monkey"..."old man"...whatever popped in my head. I collected about 20 different images, threw them into a desktop folder and began creating a collage in photoshop. INSTANT ILLUSTRATION IDEA!

I redrew my collage in sketchbook pro, then into photoshop for coloring and textures. Here's a bit of my process below. I strongly recommend this collage trick if your creative brain juices are ever running dry.

Sloth takes a bath and contemplates matters

ANIMALS

The other night as I was falling asleep, my brain conjured up this image of a rabbit rocking back and forth in a rocking chair, eating a watermelon. I liked him so much, I thought he deserved a blog post.

"HELLO"....a film by Laura Jane

This is my fiancee's experimental animated MFA film. I strongly recommend preparing a hot cup of tea, putting on headphones, and following the spirit wolf instructions.

just wandering...

Ostrich's night out

Always a good time.
