Oz Comics, concept and 3d translation

2010-01-07T22:00:00.000-08:00

One of the best parts from working on this show was being exposed to so many talented people from different disciplines. Here is a concept I rendered of Oz Comics, based on Caesar's design. I included a sample 3d render of the environment (minus a few texture elements.) It's amazing how close the CG crew is able to get to the concept.

Fanboy Finally Premieres this Saturday @ 10:30am on Nick!

Here are some of the color scripts I did for the episode "Wizboy" that will be airing.

Fanboy & Chum Chum intro

2009-07-22T15:35:00.000-07:00

Here's a video link to the intro that was posted on flickr a little while ago. It's not the final version and is missing various elements, but you can get the gist of it. I'm really proud of what we all created. I guarantee the squash n' stretch and overall "cartooniness" of the cg animation in this series will impress even the harshest of animation geeks!

Update!

I'm currently an art director at Nickelodeon working on Fanboy and Chum Chum. I can't really post anything I've done on here yet, as it won't be premiering until November. But, there's a ton of stuff I've done that is posted on the official Fanboy blog, so check it out!

Futurama Premiere!

2007-11-16T14:09:00.001-08:00

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!

2006-08-26T13:43:00.000-07:00

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:

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.

Wow, how did 2 months pass by so fast? I've been taking on a lot of freelance lately , but will make the effort to post more often. In the coming weeks I hope to post more enviromental pieces, but in the meantime, here's a page from costumed lifedrawing at lunch today. Cheers.

Monday 2-13 Memory Sketch

This guy knew we were up to something. I didn't get much of a look because he was staring me down something awful.

Car Design

2006-02-12T23:44:00.000-08:00

Over the last couple weeks, in which I haven't posted anything, I've been busy experimenting with different things other than my usual stuff. I decided to try designing a car since I figured it would be fun and I could learn a thing or two about rendering. Cheers.

Monday "Themed" Memory Sketch

2006-01-26T01:10:00.000-08:00

Yowza! We decided to give a hooker theme to our Monday sketch. I figured if I'm going to take that route, I may as well be as disturbing as possible. Check out the other fellas sketches at Sketch Club East...

Memory Sketch 2006

2006-01-08T23:31:00.000-08:00

Welp, the ol' sketch club rejoined (minus Mr. Colman) for 2006. We spotted this old guy on the way out and there wasn't a doubt he was the one. I used my new toy to draw/render this (Cintiq) -- I HIGHLY recommend getting one of these babies. I think it's the tool of the future for the visual artist...

Here are a coupla' life drawings from today.

Merry Christmas everybody!

Oi! Back from the dead after being sick last week-- here's a sketch of some characters I saw at the mall today. We picked a great character for our memory sketch, so check out the Sketch Club blog over the next coupla' days...

Watch the X's!

2005-11-23T15:19:00.000-08:00

The show I've slaved (lovingly) over this past year is finally airing this Friday at 8pm on Nick. A lot of kick ass artists worked on this thing and I think it looks sweet. Hopefully I will be allowed to post some BGs in time (if allowed.)

"Cool!" {said in a Dad voice}
