Shark Week DAY 2

Today's shark: The Port Jackson. Weird lookin' lil guy.

Shark Week begins!!

So Megan Dong has inspired me to join in on the Shark Week shark-a-day drawing challenge that's over on Kristen Campbell's deviant art page. I dunno if i'll make it everyday, but I can at least make day one! Here's my version of a sand tiger shark.

Palm Springs Pics

Thought I'd post some pics from the Palm Springs Shortfest (Barko's world premiere). It screened on Thursday, June 24th with a group of other animated shorts, and then again the following Monday with the Best of the Fest program. (I saw later on the website that based on audience vote, Barko was #3 out of 35 animated films)! Josh, his parents, and I had a great experience and a nice little vacation to boot. (Although it was 108 degrees. YOWZA). It was the first time I got to see Barko on the big screen which was pretty crazy. And the audience reacted really well! Laughing, awwwwing, gasping in all the right moments. Lots of other good films in the bunch as well. I have a soft spot for David OReilly's Please Say Something. Freakin genius! Afterwards, introverted me had to get up and do a Q&A with one other director that was there. Luckily the nerves went away once I was up there, and no one asked me anything impossible to answer. :) Thanks again Titmouse and all the Titmice helper peoples!

A couple colored cleanups. Yes, I'm reusing the Melba wallpaper background. I call it leverage!

Melba Toast

This is Melba Toast, my subject for Titmouse's 3rd annual 5-second animation day. We get a whole day to animate whatever we want to and then the following day, we watch them all together. So here are some sketches of Melba I did a couple nights ago. I went with the middle one and animated her today. I'll post the animation as soon as we screen them!
