Divito!

Howdy! Here are some studies of the great Guillermo Divito. Well, studies of his cartoons, not of the man himself.

Doggie

Here's a sketch of a dog based on a Dreampet. Don't know what a Dreampet is? Lookitup!

Steve

Here's a caricature of my buddy Steve Lambe. He kicks ass at design.

Dia De Los Muertos

Here's a painting I did for the El Tigre Dia De Los Muertos art show back in November. It's titled "Dia de los reencarnados." It was my first time painting on wood, and it was fun.

New Year New Post

Happy New Year! One of my resolutions is to get this blog back up and running. I've been pretty busy lately working on the awesome El Tigre, and we're not slowing down anytime soon. But hopefully I can devote more time this year to working on my personal projects as well. In the meantime...

Here's another commercial I worked on for ACME Filmworks. It was again directed by Dave Wasson, and story boarded by Gabe Swarr. I did layouts, color, and all of the animation. Color gave us the most headache because of what the client wanted. They wanted to add a bunch of yellow, which Dave and I thought detracted from the characters and the crackers and vegetables. The end result isn't bad, but I'm more fond of my original color choices. Most of it flys by so fast anyways. Here are some stills of the original colors.

Here's a bit of rough animation for your enjoyment.
