Merry Christmas to Me, From Me

One morning last week, in a fit of holiday cheer, I ordered myself the latest printing of the unbelievably inexpensive and insane Charley Harper monograph. This is my kind of book. It's massive, over 400 pages thick, and almost every page is just pictures. Big pictures! Big book! I haven't even begun to look through it all, but here are some choice cuts. And if you don't dig it, check your pulse.


My favorite Harper piece, so far. Can't beat a bloody dinosaur fight (Merry Christmas!)




One fer me Aussie mate.


Now GO BUY ONE!!

PokeProgress 1

I'm going to try and post more progress pieces of the Pokemon Kid. Here's a still from one of those pre-battle fast-moving-background-with-character-calling-out-their-Pokemon shots. Can you dig it????

cute\\grotesque

Lately I've been interested in the juxtaposition of cute and grotesque. The rad pizza dude was a lot of fun to draw. I also enjoyed drawing the little blob guy's expression. It took me a while to find a coloring method and palette that I liked, but I think this look fits it pretty well.

Pokemon Kid Gross Up

Here's a screenshot of a gross up shot of the Pokemon Kid right after he sees the Oddishes run by and realizes he's passed into the realm of Pokeland. I wasn't entirely sold on the real throat, but it grew on me pretty quickly. I like the extra creep factor it adds. And it's pretty gross.

Pokemon Kid Scene

Here's a finished shot from my Pokémon Kid Animation that I'm putting together in my free time. This shot takes place right after the kid wakes up to find himself in Pokéland. Is that real? I don't remember it being called Pokéland. Well it is now.

More Freelance Screenshots

Here are a few screenshots from a previous freelance short that Ben and I made.

Some Freelancing Screenshots

Been without the internet for a few weeks, makes it tough to drum up a blog post. Here's some screenshots from my freelance Flash work, which I animate with my good buddy Ben Bury.

First, an Illustration I did of Wastecorp, Wastemeister's office building for the loading screen.

Wastemeister at his desk. My background with Ben's Wastemeister drawing.

My shot of Wastemeister's clock.

Here's a take I animated with my background.

And a Ben Bury Wastemeister over my pink bubbly background. Great face.

Hopefully there'll be more posts soon. Internet first.
