Thought I would try and draw some animals for a change. More to come soon!

We just got one of those expresso makers. Joy!

Just a few pages from the sketchbook from last night. Nothing new to report..that is all!

I know, I know, you've seen this before many times. The old try-and-hit-the pest-with-a-mallet-while-he's-on-your-friends-head....routine. Thought I would try and draw a little slapstick today, and maybe introduce a few new characters....hmmm? Still getting used to coming up with some interesting colours rather than the plain purple, blue, green, brown they supply you in the paint pallet.
Cheers!

Did some sketches at work, thought i would post them.

This is just a design of a girl that I did for a friend of mine. He's using it to try and get a project from a client, which means that there might be a small side project coming my way. Lets hope. Again I cleaned it and coloured it in flash mx.

Happy Easter everybody!
Well..... actually, its the next day. I spent yesterday working on the rough, and finished it up with colour this morning. I tried something different this time, which was importing the jpeg into my flash mx, and then cleaning it up, and then adding colour.

Enjoy!

Just finished another project at Copernicus. We did this Kids Save Kids three minute short , about being bullied at school. Really looking forward on working on the next project. Its kind of hush hush at the moment but im sure you'll be hearing something out of me later on. Its the kind of project where its more warner brothers and not realistic. But until then, I have a few days off to draw. That and maybe sit on the couch and watch cartoons all day..fun!

I just found a site that allows to me listen to any radio station in canada online. So since I've been homesick the last couple of days, I thought that I would listen to some of the radio stations I used to listen to while living or visiting back in Ontario. It was great to hear 99.9 again, as well as 102.9 "the edge", and 96.9 Brantford. But after hearing those stations for a good 5-6 hours, I came to realize that I was even more depressed and more home-sick than before. Oh well...May will come soon! On another note, work has been very busy, and finding time to do my own drawings has been scarce, but I did find some time yesterday to do these drawings. Just a fat mouse I playe around with.
Enjoy!!

Thought I would try and do some drawings away fom the Disney style....which is so hard after doing it for so long! I've also been looking at more John K stuff, his animation and characters. I enjoyed them before but wasn't really into them, (if that makes any sense). He spoke at a function that I attended here in Halifax, and he explained how sad it is that everyone has to follow the "model sheet". Go crazy, push the drawings and have fun with it. That was four years ago. So last night, after consideration (and quite a few beers I might add), I thought...hey, why not at least try it. You know what? It was fun! Although I still see a little Disney in it. Now all I need is more practice.....and more beers!

It's really hard to get away from a style that everyone is drawing. Thats why im trying to come up with interesting characters to kinda stand out. I also need to start drawing smaller. This damn scanner keeps cutting off stuff and it doesnt really look professional.

Cheers!

A Bunny...not Bugs Bunny by all means. Maybe a distant cousin.....maybe, just maybe!
By the way....I'm snowed in. We just got hit with 30 cm of snow with 15 cm still coming. I love Canada!

I find that I get bored very easily! So while I was waiting in the car for my girlfriends chiropractor appointment to finish, I found a small pad of orange paper stuck between the seats. Well, ever since I was a kid, if there was a pencil, pencil, crayon, anything around, I would keep myself occupied. So here are a few quick sketches I did. I kept them because I thought they were neat....enjoy!

I came up with this joke (if it hasn't been taken already) while my girlfriend was watching "The Bachelor" on t.v last week. Its taken me almost a week (here and there) to get it right. I was either very brave or very, very stupid to use a charcol pencil, especially one that smudges easily. Im sorry if the feet are cut off. Im hoping to shrink it down, when it comes time to colour it.

I cant believe how fast the week went already! Things are pretty busy at the studio, so I only had time to do a few more drawings. I didnt know what to draw so i came up with a superhero wearing a strainer for a hat. Still have to figure out what powers he can have. The other..well is a wench.
Hopefully tonight I can sketch a bit.

The next couple of pieces was a small christmas gift to my step-brother and his wife, who is expecting this spring. They dont know the sex yet, which is why the blanket is purple. I also included the rough drawing of it to show the "work-in-progress" stage. Also. there are a couple of sketches I did while watching "The Brother's Grimm". Good movie!

Well, here it is...my first blog. The following are a few pieces to get things started!
More to come! Enjoy!
