Animation Competition

So a long time ago Justin and I realized that animating to music is the best thing ever. So we decided to do something about it. Justin loves to make music on his computer and I love teaching Justin how to use flash so...... We decided to start up an animation competition between the two of us. Here is how it works. Justin makes a 30 second clip , some funky grove, then we high five and each start to animate our own video to that music. Then when we are both done we show each other and see who won and who didn't win. Then we do it again....






Here is the first one we did together.....more to come.

"Super Hero" *Illustration Friday*

Happy New Year!
I haven't done this (Illustration Friday) for a while and I didn't really have time to color so i did a quick pass at it. This idea just kind of stuck me as funny! I remember as a kid I would do this and pretend I was flying. Until the day my face got too low and it slid on the dirt below...that was not fun! This makes me think about how now a days parks are WAY to kid friendly. What ever happened to Dirt, Grass & Asphalt. You know stuff that can hurt you but not kill you. Now the ground is all rubber and the play sets are plastic...back in my day they were metal. Remember sliding down a HOT metal slide...man those were the days!

THE THOSE GUYS Christmas speacial

Final Painting

Here is the final painting, it measures 10x20 inches and is done in gouache. The show opens on Saturday the 16th, hope to see some of you there.

"Imaginary Spaces" Comp

Here's the color comp for a painting for the upcoming "Imaginary Spaces" show at Gallery Nucleus next week. The idea is to create a painting of an imaginary world without any characters in it. This comp shows the basic shapes that make up a forest of tree shaped castles, the final painting has alot more detail. I'll post it soon.

Weekend film shoot

Just got back from this last weekend's film shoot. Dik came this time along to help. Thanks again Dikki. The Prynoski's made sure I was on top of everything, and Steve Kellner (of Animation Meat fame) helped and took this dope picture. Started off slow with a two hour delay because of a foggy morning but later in the day we got a lot of good stuff. Didn't get everything so we will have to make a second trip. By the way, remember to drink water. Dehidration is nothing to laugh at. All in all it was a good day.

TTG Chicken Gots A Job!

Hi there I just recently had gotten the chance to catch up with the Famous TTG Chicken this week! I am doing a report on "Poultry in the Workplace" and discovered that THE TTG Chicken has a second job as a Administrative Tax Filing Consultant. Here is the interview:

Are you still apart of TTG?
Yes very much so, we are all part of the same coop!

How long have you had this 2nd Job?
Well being a TTG doesn’t pay the bills…so I felt I had to spread my wings a bit. That was 8 months ago!

Who is your Favorite TTG?
Mike Daley

When next years Comic-Con come around will you quit your job?
No I will just ask for time off. I just don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket.

What are you doing in preparation for next years Comic-Con?
What everyone else does. Talk about what I am going to do for 10 months and then do something totally different 2 months before Comic-Con starts!

Well it was great to talk to you.
Thanks and I’ll see you at Comic-Con 2007

"SMOKE" *Illustration Friday*

Well here I am once again, this week was kind of hard. I have been sleep deprived and just overall slow going. I got this idea from my girlfriend Vanessa...She suggested the guy from Alice in Wonderland smoking! So once again I did most of the work during my lunch hour from work. I have been working on my coloring skillz, I'd say it is my weakness but I will keep pluggin' away at it until I get it right.

Thanks for everyone who comments, it really helps!
