i have a mustache!

:: rude penguin ::

here's my penguin sketches.

:: doin' time at ac ::

i'm eternally grateful to ac for giving me my first job in the city. but that's about as far as it goes. the work was work, nothing too stimulating. at least not in the vein of things i'd like to be working with. when i moved to ellen's i was given a pad to take notes. i'd do at least a page of sketches throughout the day while i was waiting for things to load and whatnot. these are some of them. you can tell what my hair/facial hair looked like any given day by my "self portraits." and at the end i was getting frustrated and really wanted to rock out, those are my faves.

also, i have a collection of post-it notes of the flash logo doing something dangerous, that i drew every time the program crashed. i gave up after a while because it crashed so much. i'll try and find those...i like em...

:: mephiskapheles duck ::

i think i figured out the duck i was messing with before. i might go ahead with the mephiskapheles video because i can apparently get in touch with the band and get the rights. here's a really rough drawing of the duck:



pete and i just were going over some color options, and i thought i'd open it up. thoughts? anything here look good to you? should i have something else?

hey a new option:





here's the first batch before petes suggestions



after a conversation with sean [his blog's to the right] at apples in stereo, i decided to make him more like us, a half breed skapunk, instead of super genre oriented. a "skunk". it's tough because it's busy looking, but so are[/were] we. that way i think it might make it feel less like a genre war sort of thing, and more like this guy's just trying to have fun but the penguin is "too cool."

i'll post the penguin and cleanups soon. just wanted this on file.

here's the song i'm going to be using: "eskamoes" - property of mephiskapheles, and moon ska you might have to right click it.

oh! and here's the other character, i have to figure out a good way to get his blacks to work, but i have his design set.

:: freakin' duck ::

yesterday i got this character in my head that i couldn't get on paper for the life of me! this is it, or at least close!!!




[and yes, there was pancake batter all over my scanner...]

:: square one ::

hey floyd...welcome back!!!






i'm gonna start getting back into practice with floyd, starting with some tests and then busting out a short! i think it's time to see about realizing the majesty of chunk once more...

:: smo tech ::

here's a logo i made for my cousin's web company! i don't know if he'll like it and it took me FOREVER to get time to jot it down but at least i think he's neat!

:: dinosaurs ::

these are some concept sketches for a dinosaur cartoon i'm going to make soon...okay...2 dinosaur cartoons, the guy with the crazy flip top head gets his own!

and pete...and other people who might have seen some of my thesis concepts i didn't use...YES that's the "hey i'm the guy" guy. i'm picking up my other concept stuff for that when i visit back home...it needs to be done, now, more than ever!
