Here's my first attempt at the 11 Second Club online competition. All I was given was the audio soundtrack to animate to.

For Your Entertainment....

2009-03-30T19:50:00.000-07:00

2009-03-20T10:18:00.000-07:00

Still working with this character in 3D, have another scene that follows this one. When I finish it I'll edit them together and post.

DREAMING of DEAN MARTIN

2009-02-03T19:09:00.000-08:00

What I've been up to!

2009-01-12T21:40:00.000-08:00

So I've been playing around with Maya and here is my first attempt at some acting with lip sync.

The Final.

Cowgirl 2

2009-01-04T21:03:00.000-08:00

Been working on learning some Maya over the holiday break and thought I'd stop and do something 2D.

The Night Stalker

2008-12-15T22:41:00.000-08:00

I've been watching one of my favorite old T. V. shows lately, still as good as I remember and ahead of it's time.

Beloved Wife

2008-11-20T13:59:00.000-08:00

I've been reading some E.C. comics lately. Picked up a set off of e-bay around Halloween and read them to the kids.

A little splash of color

2008-11-18T21:35:00.000-08:00

Your Cheatin' Heart

2008-11-17T23:08:00.000-08:00

Nothing like staying up late and watching a good movie while I sketch.

I feel dirty

2008-10-30T21:29:00.001-07:00

Another late night with the T.V.

Mermaid

2008-10-02T22:22:00.000-07:00

Just sitting here late at night with the T.V. on and doodling.

2008-09-04T13:46:00.000-07:00

Since my tablet pc is out for repair, I thought I'd put up this sketch I did awhile back. I think it looks much better than the final color piece.

2008-07-27T16:22:00.000-07:00

So I had a little time until my next gig and I decided to put together this storyboard. It's an actual event that took place to a friend of mine. I laughed so hard when he told me, I knew that I'd have to put this to paper for all to see. Fortunately he is still my friend after looking at this.

Knife-31 final

2008-05-09T11:32:00.000-07:00

So I recomposed this a little and did the color in painter.

Knife-31

2008-04-26T15:19:00.001-07:00

This is an actual event that took place on a small island in the Philippines back during the Vietnam war. A rescue attemp that failed horribly. I plan to do this one in color, just haven't found the time yet so I thought I'd post the pencil version first.

Wolfman

2008-03-20T14:54:00.000-07:00

Something I've been meaning to finish.....and finally did.

Spectacular

2008-03-17T19:47:00.001-07:00

Was inspired by the new Spider-man cartoon the kids and I watched this weekend.

YEAH!

2008-02-20T11:17:00.000-08:00

had a little time at work......

So much work!

2008-02-05T14:28:00.000-08:00

Doing three jobs at once has it's toll!

Muse

2007-11-10T15:14:00.000-08:00

A few ladies to pass the time.

2007-10-22T14:06:00.000-07:00

Thought I'd continue the horror theme.

IN FULL COLOR!!!

2007-10-10T15:11:00.000-07:00

thought I'd give this one some color, I think it came out better than the shrinking man.

2007-10-04T11:38:00.000-07:00

Someone told me that a woman smoking isn't sexy, that they stink of smoke....I say who cares!!

The Incredible Shrinking Man

2007-09-23T20:43:00.000-07:00

A great sci fi movie of the 50's. If you haven't seen it, you should. The last third of the movie is all action and narration, very daring and it still holds up.

fellow classmate and alumni

2007-08-30T09:21:00.001-07:00

Something Mike did for me at his first convention in N.Y. some 15 0r so years ago. Feels like it was just last week. I always made sure to stand next to him in Mr. Early's fashion life sketch class at VCU, his skill even back then was amazing.

Started this at work and finally sat down and finished it.

Finally had some time to work up another scene of these two.

2006-04-13T21:31:00.000-07:00

An idea I've been toying with, think I might work it up some more and do a storyboard.

2006-03-26T15:56:00.000-08:00

Done at the museum of natural history

2006-03-26T15:47:00.000-08:00
