Let it snow!

Well summer is just around the corner and I was burning up this weekend, so naturally I am posting this!
This is another Swamp Monster themed illustration. This time my younger self can be seen with the big guy in Canada. Whistler BC to be exact. I know it's hard to tell, but if you look close, there is a beaver attacking a hockey player in the background.

see ya soon!

Wonder KHAAAAANNNNN!

Well, last week was wonderCon. That means I was my true nerd glory for three straight days. I picked up a book or to, got some autographs and sketches from artists that I admire and saw lots of great characters. I started a series of character drawings based on some sketches and picture from the Con it's self. These were made with only love and respect for the people I saw and spoke to. The illustrations are design to be paired randomly for maximum irony. Here are the first two in the collection...

Valentines '09

These have be come a tradition.
this year's is a study in self control, or lack of it.
The Kids and I love candy and all things sugar...
especially chocolate!

Thanksgiving movie

Here is our Thanksgiving movie for this year. Ella and I worked hard on this one. She even wrote the screenplay while Lisa was the executive producer. I was the pixel monkey again and Finn was a great focus tester.

Dudes in the Back

OK. I know I haven't posted in a while, so here it goes...

This is a little taste of some of the background characters from Retro-Active.
I have had some great help with the modeling recently with characters and cars and this is some of the fruits. I did the clean up and texturing and rigging. The designs for these guys can be seen in an earlier post.
This render was done a month or so ago. I was going to keep it to myself, but that would be greedy.

OK. There, I posted.

I got a special treat in the mail today.
My copy of a book I contributed too this last summer.
It was finally published and I think it turned out great. There are some great images in it.

see the book here

Mine stands out a bit because of it's stylized nature, but over all I think it holds up.
Normally I am not in to armor clad vixens but every once in a while they work.

Now that it is published I will share with you what I did.

more goodbyes

here are a few more of those good bye pages.
These will be the last for a while because we are pretty stable at the moment.
I just hope I don't have to do a self portrait any time soon!

Thanks
