MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wow, it's actually been half a year since I wrote on here! Ridiculous. I promise to fulfill my unspoken obligation to this blog more next year. In the meantime, I directed, animated, and well, most everything else-ed this Christmas short for JibJab. You can upload your own heads into the video here.

I uploaded photos of my family and our weird pug, take a look...

Personalize funny videos and birthday eCards at JibJab!

This was a really fun project, and the folks over at JibJab gave me a lot of creative freedom. They trusted me, even though I was making it in my garage away from any jurisdiction. Like uncharted waters. It was great working with them.

Here's some time - lapse videos of me animating it. Enjoy!








Have a Merry Christmas! And if you don't celebrate that, you're probably a weirdo anyways, so uh... have fun!

Chowder and Flapjack puppets!

WOW! Long time, no post! Sorry. But you get a special surprise for your patience... Here's pictures of stop motion puppets I made for the Cartoon Network shows "Chowder" and "The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack". I really loved making puppets for both of these shows, they had great designs and were both very cartoony. I feel honored to have been able to make these puppets while these shows were on the air, for unfortunately, now both these shows have "ended production". It was fun while it lasted!

Here's a BUNCH of pictures. All puppets made with love at Screen Novelties.

"The Comb King" from Flapjack


"The Evil Comb King" from Flapjack



"Crazy Fruit" from Chowder


"Shark" from Flapjack



"Mushroom Monster" from Chowder


Mushroom Monster with the design

"Señiorita Mesquite" from Chowder


"Crab" from Flapjack (Made this with "Linda Lawrence". The sequence with this puppet was cut)


"Big Food" from Chowder


"Fish (or somethin)" from Flapjack. This fish steals K'nuckles' legs.

Last but not least... "Spongebob Skeleton" This puppet was used in the Spongebob 10th anniversary special intro that we did. Which is really cool... seek it out.



Well, there. There's all my secrets. Revealed. Kinda.

2010 AKA THE FUTURE

Welcome to 2010! So futuristic. I've been drawing a lot and trying to pitch some cartoon show ideas. Here's some drawings.






I doodled the above sorta-poster design recently while watching the film "I spit on your grave". I thought the film was very well done... but definitely NOT for the faint of heart! It is very extreme and messed up and disturbing. But if you're into that stuff, check it out, ha. Alright, have a good time.
