Frog Sketch

After I sketched this, I noticed it looks a little similar to Sebastian the crab from the Little Mermaid. Back to the drawing board I guess.

Family Portrait

New Indiana Jones Poster!

Conversations With Other Women

I just happened to see this movie on the movie network, and thought that it was very cool. The movie is done with a split screen, so that you get to see the character and their reactions during their entire conversations. I dont know how many movies have done this before, but I thought it was a very clever idea.

Le Building

I know that this clip is a few years old, but it's so friggin good! I loved the character designs and the story idea. So good!

Sweeney Todd Designs

I did some quick sketches while watching the movie.

Heads

Animation Area.

Thought I would share a few photos of what my work area looks like. I've been working at a small studio called Huminah Huminah Animation over in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. There are only 21 guys working there in a studio thats 20 000 square feet. Things have been very steady with work lately, but the hours has been long and tiring. Having a desk like this really motivates you. Did you realize I was a Disney fan?

The Art of Bee Movie

There seems to be a lot of times when a new animation book hits the shelves, and inside is nothing but colour frames, watercolours, and storyboards. Not to say that colour frames and storyboards are not important, but for someone like myself, (who is an animator/character designer), we love seeing the rough designs!! Thats why I highly recommend this book. If you either love this movie or hate it, this book is full of awesome rough character sketches. Its worth the buy.

Old Christmas Cards

I found these old drawings while flipping thru one of my old sketchbooks. These were placed inside christmas cards and given to family and friends.

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.

Bear

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.

Just something I did while eating my tuna sandwhich.

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.

1 LITTLE.. 2 LITTLE...3 LITTLE INDIANS

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.
