So here's a few shots that I took today. It got up to a blistering 7 degrees today and another 8-10 inches is expected overnight. I friggin love this goofy little town. Enjoy...




and as a side note, I am in fact working on more artwork. I'll have you know that I completely ruined a very nice start to a painting just last night.

This first pic might not look like much to most and several will wonder what the fuck it is and a handful may believe this to be some contemporary art installation. To the "what the fuck" demographic: this is a freshly poured concrete floor in what is quickly becoming an attainable goal of being my own place. It's one of the original buildings here on the ranch, circa early 20's, and we've gutted everything out to start a new. I'm pretty stoked due to the fact that I've been living in Kim and Brandon's office for going on 6 months now and I'm pretty sure that this will be the coolest fort I have ever been a part of.
The next is the beginning of a slightly intimidatingly large project I'm painting for Willowbrook Nursing Home. This is a 4' LET 'ER BUCK logo. It's the war cry and matting call for all here in Pendleton OR. http://pendletonroundup.com/
I'm also working on a 14 piece 24"x18" series of characters in motion. If any of you readers are familiar with my silly little doodles of people with long ass legs and arms, it's going to be those. I'm post more when I make em.

This last one is just a view of what I look out at when I'm drinking a cup of coffee in the morning. Enjoy...

Well, it's that time again...12 Bars of Christmas! I know that i didn't post my t-shirt design from last year, but I had a very good reason; I drew it and had it on a shirt in about a day. I didn't much care for the art on it. But now, this one I'm pretty stoked on. Enjoy...

This is the one that's going on the shirt. Due to cost restrictions, I had to take the colors back to only 4.


Here's the full color version. Let me know what you guys think.

Well I haven't been posting a damn thing, but thats just what I've been working on. I've gotten a few projects that a forcing me to ruin paper and when the sheets are completely fuct, I'll share em. In the mean time, some phone pics from the Double Rock Ranch. Enjoy...
Fire is fun. When it's a 20' bonfire in your backyard it's REALLYFUCKINFUN!

The sunsets down here a for friggin incredible. These are all from our valley down here in little ol' Pendleton.

So heres what art work I've been working on down here at the farm. I haven't touched my friggin sketchbook, nor have I sullied a canvas with images no body wants to see. NO SIR! I have been fiddle fuckin around with an animation that I told be people I'd be done with before I left Seattle. That was almost three months ago...whadaydo? Enjoy!

Here is a cheesy little panoramic set of photos I took on my last day down in Pendleton OR when I was down there earlier this month. Now those of you, i have no idea who you may be, will remember my last post about the beloved Double Rock Ranch. Maybe not, but no worries. My friends Kim and Brandon Benson own this ranch. Their crop... pheasants. Yeah, its a little odd, but its one of the best places to go to get the hell outta Seattle. Anyways, enjoy!

Here is an image that I created for Dr. Nicole Sundene at http://kitchentablemedicine.com/. I forgot to mention that a good friend of mine, and now ex-coworker, Seth Williams also gave me a hand on this banner. You should check out his work at : http://www.sethart.org. Enjoy!

Reservoir Dogs

Animations!

Long Time No See

Theres a certain amount of comfort in not having cable TV or the "Intra-Web" at home. You get things done, you get to play more and you can hone your supernatural abilities like flight or being able to "Freeze Frame" in mid air. Ok, those last two are bullshit, but you get the idea. Anyhow, heres a few things that have shown up around my apartment:



These are a couple of oil paintings that I've recently used to cover up perfectly nice white canvases. The nude w/skull was pretty fun cause I really didn't know what it was going to be when pigment first met the cotten. My goal was simply to paint a decent nude (not sure if I hit that bench mark, but thats hardly the point). Was she was introduced to the world, I knew it needed something more. Why a skull? Cause woman will fuckin kill you... nah! its nothing as deep as that. I just saw what looked to be an eye socket and then went from there.

The lower guy was fun cause I painted all but the final highlights with the image upside-down. I knew I could trick the paint to run if I promised them ultimate nirvana at the end of their journey. Fortunately, oil paint is more gullible than those who give their live savings to televangelist. It turned out pretty fun though.


So the top one is an illustration my Lead Illustrator, Russel did in pencil and I painted in Photoshop. Chucky there was drawn in pencil by my 3D Modeler Josh and again, I painted in Photoshop.

So here's where the bulk of my drawing has taken place in these last few months; the sides of my notebook. Everybody in Handheld uses these old school quad grid composition notebooks. I thought some of you might get a kick outta seeing how my brain can sometimes wander. Most of the stick figures are thumbnails for animations I'm workin on. I'll usually slap down a few quick thumbs of keys that I want to hit and then stand at my desk and act em out. You shouldda seen it when my director and I were working out timing for dance steps. We've got some bomb ass moves. Enjoy...

Beautiful weekend up here in Seattle and nothin better to do on a sunny day than go down to the Sculpture Park and look at funny people. This particular guy caught my attention. Huge Moto-X helmet, super tight black jean shorts, beat to shit Converse All-Stars and weighed in at a whopping 90 lbs tops. This is the time of year that even those that shouldn't, come out to see the sun.

Good lord I haven't touched this friggin site in a long time. My bad. I got a real job! Its the whole Mon through Fri type a gig. Its a studio called Handheld Games. We make those Plug n' Play things, but what I'm mostly workin on is Nintendo DS titles. It pretty sweet. All I do, all day long is animate actual in game animations. I mean, what I did before was in game animation, but now there will be a NPC (non playable character) that looks at his shoe to see what he might have stepped in because of me! I'm also doing a lot of main character animation. I've been working on a whole bunch of dance steps for the last month and half. I didn't realize, till I wrote that sentence, that its been a over a month since I started this gig. Huh... Anyways, here's a quick sketch to clear out those old Pendleton pics. Coming soon will be the painting that I posted previous sketches of. I can't wait to get this friggin canvas outta my house. Note to self: Don't post after midnight. You ramble like an moron. Enjoy...

This is the Double Rock Ranch in Pendleton Oregon. About a year or so ago, my friends Kim and Brandon Benson, moved down here. Its a pheasant ranch with a few heads of cattle, a goat, a green house, two dogs, a newborn angel named May Belle and 300+ acres of beautiful. It was truly an amazing way to come off of two months of 50+ hour weeks on Nancy Drew.I shot this from a cliff that overlooks the ranch. Enjoy...

So I've been working kinda crazy hours now that we're in the latter part of the latest Nancy Drew production, which means that all of my big projects are placed on hold. Fortunatly, what I'm working on now requires me to test render 15 frame animations...a lot of them. That then means that I have 2-3 minutes to draw every 15-20 minutes or so. This is an example of what happens.

My Tombo pen spit this out the other day. Fun lines and perspective play. I have a canvas that already has this weird wood texture on it and I think this'll look pretty good on. Enjoy...
