Good news! I'm getting a new computer tonight, so my updates will be regular again as I man myself up for big projects!In the mean time, I've been taking a lot of figure drawing & character design with the lovely Mark McDonnell - so here's a classy mobster, and a bitchy pixie! Not sure which is more dangerous ...

Swoop.

2011-10-25T10:40:00.000-07:00

A little exercise in storytelling for me .. part written, part illustrated.
A story about what happens when your ex-boyfriend comes back as a ghost, and you're the only one who can see him ... and then he needs you to help him fight monsters.

Should be fun! Enjoy! :)

This is the first time in a while I've gone back to Illustrator - I forgot how much I love Illustrator! :)

WIP Model Sheet

2010-09-29T23:47:00.000-07:00

Things are getting crazy busy right now. This model sheet isn't done, but I sure had fun putting it together! I'm splitting time between school/film/DreamWorks/uhh .. breathing? It's completely worth it, but kind of insane!
Cheers, everyone!

Aw, Rats.

The Trouble with Triples

2010-04-27T00:08:00.000-07:00

(Sorry - the title of this post is a poor attempt at making a Star Trek reference!)

I had so much fun doing this for my storytelling liberal arts class - mainly because its been ages since I played around with markers! Less than two weeks till summer, I think I'll be spending a lot of time playing with my copics and prismas once finals are done! I appreciate everything digital has to offer, but there's so much love that goes into traditional work!
(I may be doing some painting this summer, too! Gasp!!)

Good Morning, Captain!

Please go and watch it online if you haven't already. :)

Vacuum Pun Goes Here

2009-11-09T00:43:00.000-08:00

More on this character later! You'll be seeing a lot of her! :)

On a fun note: We actually have a vacuum pack like this at work, I have been fortunate enough to not be forced to wear it. If I did, I would be running around screaming "WHO YOU GONNA CALL? GHOSTBUSTERS!!" for hours. (Perhaps this is why I haven't been asked to wear one ..)
