Futurama Premiere!

Last night was the premiere of the first (of four) Futurama DVD's to be released called "Bender's Big Score." When the movie first started there were a some technical difficulties and a few times they stopped the movie (on account of some sound drop-outs.) Normally that'd be annoying, but not when the voice talent is sitting in the audience! As soon as it'd go dark you'd hear John Di Maggio (Bender) shouting out all sorts of things in character-- genius!

At any rate, since I worked on the movie as a color stylist (bgs/props/characters), I was happy to see that the color held up pretty good on the massive Cinerama dome screen- whew!

I'm still here

Welp, since my last post I've gotten married (honeymooned in Ireland) and have working like a daawg at my latest gig. Time to start postin' again... Here's a red neck (experimenting with technique on this one) to kick things off.

Fanboy!

Not too long ago, I had the privilege of working with a fine fella by the name of Eric Robles on his Frederator short, Fanboy. Here's a link to his blog that's got one of my BG's/prop color samples along with some amazing board samples by Andy Kelly and some other cool sketches:

I gotsta post!

Dang, a lot has happened, let me tell you. I've left the X's ,which unfortunately hasn't been renewed :(

I've since moved over to Rough Draft studios where I was fortunate enough to work on a pilot for Rich Moore (a fine fellow behind the Simpsons and Futurama.)

The big news now is I'm working on the Simpsons Movie- Woo hoo! I started a coupla' weeks ago as a layout artist (nice to be drawing instead of staring at a computer all day.) Taint no way I'm going to be able to post anything specific about the job, so I'm just going to have to start posting some new personal sketches. I'm sure after seeing how productive all my talented friends at Comic Con are this week with publishing their own books I'll feel guilty enough to be motivated :). In the meantime, here's another bg I painted on the X's. Cheers.
