Happy Day!

So I'm actually 3 days late in posting this but, Josh and I got engaged on Sunday!! Hurray!!! This is us at Glacier Point in Yosemite where he proposed. AMAZING view, what a perfect day. Anyway, just wanted to share the news! Exclamation points everwhere!

His name's not "Quicky" anymore.

Helloooo again! I've been seeing a lot of nesquik billboards here around hollywood and they keep reminding me that i need to post the spots i worked on to this here bloggy thing. The top one has been airing on tv and the bottom one is a spot done solely for subways. If you haven't seen one of these before it's pretty cool. Imagine sitting on a subway train, facing the tunnel wall. On the wall is a looooooong stretch of still images lit from behind and as you move by them in the train, the animation plays. This one was taken in NYC but i think it's going to show up eventually in LA, DC, and Boston. I did the animation (flash) and Jan Naylor did cleanup (also flash). And yes, I drank chocolate milk while doing these, although I do miss the containers with the tin pop top lids.

Some character designs for a freelance project I've been working on.

The Chihuahua Piper

On Valentine's Day, everyone at Titmouse got a full day to animate anything we wanted to, either going solo or gathering up a group. Each project was rounded up and edited together and we watched them all the next day. Super cool! So here is my little one-day animation.

Teenie!

Josh and I got a doggy this weekend! She's awesome. I loff her.

Round 2

Here's the next round on the pegasus, just blocked out the general shape. And I'm going to fix that rod to the base with epoxy so it'll be straight, not popping a wheely.

So a couple friends from work and I decided to do some sculpey sculptures! Fun!! We're just getting started but I'm totally pumped about it. MAKE ME KEEP THIS ENERGY! I picked a pegasus for my subject since i like horsies and always held a fondness for She-Ra's pet.

So here is my own design. Oh-and I should explain. Pegasus are always white and pretty and I thought hey-it might be cool to do a pegasus that really looks like an everyday horse. And then I thought-hey! It might be even cooler to play off a western looking horse and make it a pinto.

So here's round one with the armature built. Looks like a lil rat doesn't it? And yes, we have a green kitchen table.

This is the type of horse I'm talking about for color ref. Except along with the brown/white pinto coloring, I'd like to glaze it with a sepia tone kind of look. Kinda weathered and western. Maybe stain the base.

And this is just pure inspiration. I'll keep you posted! Forgive me if my pegasus turns out looking like a chihuahua.

Blueprint for Attack

Howdy. This here's a painting I just finished up. Lil bit of wood, wire, bolts, acrylic, canvas, pen, etc. I always start stuff and don't finish. So i thought, heck, if I keep it simple, maybe i will. And i DID. woohoo!! Babysteps, eh?
