It's been quite some time since I updated and it was killing me seeing my page not updated for so long. Truth be told I've been really swamped. I've been burning digital ink on my comic and between that, testing characters on the next feature and training for the Lifecycle I haven't had a lot of…
Pixar released the new Wall-e trailer today. It's going to be shown before Horton hears a Who, but you can also check it out online here. Take a look!
Another comic related forwarded link. There are some clips posted of an all CG Ironman short over at Marvel Kids. It's actually pretty damn cool. I think Blur studios did this, and they usually do great stuff. There some awesome stuff in here. Check them all out.
So I was forwarded this link for the new Watchmen movie. It features pics of the main characters of the movie. I have to admit I wasn't a big fan of the 300 movie, but I'll give it to Zack Snyder, that dude is faithful to the imagery of the comic. I think he's great at visually adapting comics for…
Alright! So I just finished a second pass on my comic. Actually it's a 2nd and a half pass. I got a bunch of great notes from some friends so I made a quick change to this draft. I showed my first draft to a bunch of people and got some great notes. The biggest note came from Mandrews and it was…
Saturday was a busy day for me. In addition to checking out Wondercon, I stopped by the Studio Gallery to check out the Early Bird Painter's show. A few friends of mine some how manage to drag themselves out of their beds in the wee hours of the morning and go out to paint. I know, sounds crazy to…
Ratatouille just won the Oscar for Best Animated Film! Congrats to everyone who contriubted to the production of this film. It was a great honor working on such a huge labor of love.
So I braved the costumed hordes and rabid fanboys to check out this years Wondercon at the Moscone Center. What can I say? It was pretty cool. Some pretty entertaining costumes. A few interesting booths. I have to say I wasn't as rabid about getting my geek on this year as I was last. I really…
So I managed to finish a first pass on the layout for the Soul Cage. I'm really really psyched about this. It's a huge milestone for me. I spent a long time in turmoil over the book, nervous I wasn't going to pull it off, asking myself if I bit off more than I can chew. Too nervous to even put…
I've been a Gorillaz fan from the moment my buddy Aaron showed me their first video Clint Eastwood way back in 2000. Ever since that fateful day I've grabbed whatever Gorillaz I could get my hands on. Well apparently, there's a documentary showning at the 58th Berlin Film festival called Bananaz…
So It looks like I was able to find the sneak peek again on youtube. Information cannot be stopped! If you're a Batman fan, check it out. It's interesting. Can't say I dig all of the interpretations, but I'm sure there will be some cool stuff in it.
So I've decided to take part in the AIDS lifecycle this year. I plan on documenting the experience on the Long Road section of my site. Stop by and check it out if you're interested.
Ok, after the Steve Job's speech I've become a sucker for great inspirational tidbits of advice. I'm not exactly sure how I came across this quote, and it doesn't deal directly with artwork (it has to do with working out), but I found the words to have resonance, so I thought I'd post them here.…
So I've been away for quite some time, but I haven't been spending ALL my time mashing buttons on my 360. No, no, quite the contrary. Between work and my comic I've been keeping quite busy. I've been slowly making progress, and I'm actually feeling semi confident about getting this thing together.…
