Cooking 101


My girlfriend went to China with her mom for a few weeks, which means I have to cook for myself again. Its not that I make her cook for me, she just enjoys doing it, and the food tastes so much better.

We had a power outage at work today! This is a small sketch I did during the 40 minutes without power.

BUDDIES



So, I was on my way to work the other day when I looked over and and saw a kid making all these expressions and emotions. I had no idea why he was making those faces until I stopped at the red light, and noticed that the two kids were playing on one of those Nintendo DS consoles. I kinda figured they were both playing the same game when the one kid would lean over to the other to see how he was doing and to see what his score was. I bet you can get a lot of facial expressions from kids playing video games.

HBO Shows Rock!






















If you ever want to see some really good shows on tv, watch any HBO Show, they are so amazing! Not just one, but all of them. You'll find that each show is filled with awesome characters, great performances, and amazing story writing. The ideas are original and clever, and you cant help but get drawn in. With television being swarmed with cheesy sitcoms and god awful reality shows, these HBO shows are all a breath of fresh air.

The Tourist Arrive!


Swarms of tourists have come down last weekend to see the tall ships. You start to notice the small things they pack with them. The front stomach pouch, the colourful shirt, the backpack, the camera. I actually saw one with binoculars.

Tall Ships Weekend


This is a quick sketch of someone promoting a ship tour from the boardwalk. She and another girl were wearing giant hats looking like the ship. It was funny....I laughed, and then I went to get a hot dog.

I finally got my hands on Sketchbook Pro, and thought I would do a very quick piece. Just playing around with all the tools and functions so far. Im sure you'll see more soon.

Employees That Work The Week-ends


So I went to the nearest fast food restaurant today, and the person who served me at drive-thru, gave me the indication that she would rather be someplace else. No smiles, no personality, bad service. No care what so ever. My burger was yummy though.

Christmas Animation

I love this animation at the beginning of the movie. Probably will happen if Santa went to my house.

Shopping!


Ever look around the mall and see some guy tagging behind his girlfriend while she looks at every single piece of clothing in the entire women section? They need more pubs and bars in malls for guys to chill out while they shop.

Rough Animation by the Masters


I got this little bit of info from the Victor Ens blog. It has some really cool rough animation from some of the great animators. Glen Keane, Milt Kahl, and Ollie Johnson, just to name a few.

DAN AYKROYD IN HALIFAX





These are just a few pics taken from Paul, of Dan Aykroyd making a guest appearance last week at a small blues bar here in Halifax. A few of us went there for 7 to have some awesome ribs and beer and to chill out until the dan showed up. When he did (around 11), people went nuts and camera flashes were going all over the place. He went right up on stage, played one song, and then scooted out in the back. That was it?? One friggin song??? Oh well, at least we saw him, and his blues brothers car parked out front.

My Poncho Animation Short #2

This is the second short that I had to animate over at copernicus studios. Again, the bg's, special effects and sounds were all being done in Mexico at the time. I apologize for the sound being off. It happens sometimes when it goes thru YouTube and Im still trying to find a way of fixing it. I'll try and post the third short next week. Cheers!

GLEN KEANE LECTURE AT CAL ARTS

I found these on youtube of Glen Keane giving a lecture to students way back when Aladin was being made. He covers a lot of material that I found interesting, and useful. Just wanted to give the heads up that its really hard to see the images on the overhead projector because the filming was very old. Ahhh the classic VHS. Also, there are 13 parts to this lecture, about 4-5 minutes each, so I had no way to post them all up. If you want to see the rest of them, just type in glen keane in your search. On that note...enjoy!
