Here are a few thoughts and suggestions in regards to planning your character animation. Step 1. Have an idea. Search your memory. Your feelings. What do you want to say? Put a message in your art. Make a statement. Take a stand. Have a point of view. How am I gonna go about it with my animation? Play some footage in your mind of how it could be. Replay the footage over and over. DON"T TRY TO

Heres a pencil drawing with values that probably could have been pumped up. (Feels kinda grey) I decided to stop before I killed it. Enjoy!

Next up we have a poster for my mechanic! (He's gonna love this and has no idea I'm making it.)It will be a two color wood cut print. At this point I just want to get the over all feel of the design before I go in and pull out all the details of the figure and machine. This is Honda's first 4 Stroke production motorcycle the Dream E-type. (1951) How cool is that? This is the great, great, great,

The funny thing about this Volkswagen THING photo is that you don't see the giant hill the car just drove down. Apologies for the lack of comment dropping lately. I'm trying to ween my self off the morning ritual of blogging which has on neumerous occations lasted well into the afternoon. OK back to work.

Hailwood is perhaps best known for his accomplishments at the renowned Isle of Man TT. By 1967, he had won 12 times on the infamous island mountain course including three straight wins during the 1961 event, losing the fourth when his 350 AJS broke down with a broken gudgeon pin whilst leading. He won what many historians consider to be the most dramatic Isle of Man race of all time, the 1967

Well I finally mustard up some courage to post these pages I did for a children's magazine out in New Zealand. It's a play about a group of kids making the transition from junk food to real food. Cheers!

It's better to do just a little than it is to talk big and do nothing. And so I offer up these little sketches I did yesterday while escaping the heat and humidity of Manhattan. It's amazing how being on a scenic motorcycle ride can flush your head of all the garbage that collects from basic city life. Neil Young entered and stayed with me through out my journey northward.

Feeling kinda rusty lately, I decided to take a trip up to Central Park and draw the tennis players. Oh man I made a mess but I had a lot of fun doing these.

In other news, I'm working on a series of animated interstitials for Nickelodeon. I took these thumbnails and blew them up and used them as key poses. I almost always try to figure things out on paper before I get into the nuts and bolts of traditional animation. More on this later, but for now, Happy Friday folks enjoy your weekend!!!!!

What do you do with the doodles you made while you where on hold with the IRS? Keep them! File them away for future inspection. You may be on to something. In this case I decided to let them interact with one another in a collage.
