Smiletown and stuff with clothes and fur

....more conceptual art for Smiletown which is now called "The Frolics". The good news are that after one year of production the short it's done! We are just wrapping up the final details and hopefully I'll be able to put it online next week....

And now some animals from today's field-trip to the new Academy of Sciences in the Golden Gate Park. I took my class today and we sketched all day. These were done with a black ballpoint pen...

Smiletown Painting and...

This is the painting from the design down below. I received the approval from Chris Kauflin, the writer of the series of Smiletown Books to post it. This is part of the concept art for the 3d short that we are doing.


DRUNKEN MOUSE...yes, DRUNKEN MOUSE.





So....I walked into my office a few days ago, and I found the box of little chocolate bottles (evidence A) that was a gift, scratched open and 6 tiny bottles have been half eaten/drunken. I asked Terryl (Terryl Whitlach, amazing and extremely knowledgeable creature designer) and she said "Yes, that was a mouse". I usually don't post pictures, but I'm proud to say that : A mouse, broke into my office, ate some chocolate, got drunk with scotch, and left.....provably to an after hour office party.

PS: She did also say that "provably it died after that". So, minute of silence. Rest in peace little guy.

Comic- Con Biker dude

I saw this guy just "chilling" on my way to Comic-Con...

Sketches...

....pilot mosquitos and a beach house.....you know, the usual stuff :P

Barbara Bradley

Very sad news. Barbara Bradley passed away this last Friday. Barbara was for every one of her students not only a teacher, but also a mentor and a friend, always looking over your shoulder helping you as much as she could. Thank you very much for sharing all your knowledge and warmth with us very fondly. You will be immensely missed and we will always remember you. Rest in peace.

Valkyries

I thought it would be cool for the story to make the Valkyries flying mermaids. When sent by Oden to pick up the bodies to
take them to the Valhalla (Hall of the slain) and became einherjar (spirits of great warriors), her fins would be made out of alive hair, wrapping around the bodies and bring them back......
