I made this guy during a slow period at my internship. He's a stopmotion puppet made using armature techniques I learned at work, and covered with my usual paper style. He's about 6 inches long, and took a little over 2 days of solid working to finish. I don't think it will animate very well, the armature is a little too stiff for the size, but I like it as a prototype and I'll probably animate it anyway. Plus, I kept the patterns, so I can always re-do it.

issues

Don't worry. No drama. My computer is crazy, it won't let me do anything besides be on the internet, otherwise it freezes. Hence, no drawrings or anything like that until its fixed. On the plus side, I can link whoever reads this to a great behind-the-scenes doc about The Shining.

I've never seen the movie (can you believe it!?) but I read the book and it creeped me the heck out. I'll have to see it sometime soon, on a nice sunny day which will happen in, oh, about May given NW weather patterns.
Oh! Also, I hear these are all over the airwaves, but this run of commercials is the first I've ever worked on, so I'm gonna have to subject you all to 'em again.

Hope I get my computer fixed soon.

Entymology

So, heres something I've been doing. I have made two others like this and I hope to make a series. The cricket is life-size, and made of scrapbooking paper. PS, sorry the closeup is a crappy enhancement of the original picture. My camera doesn't like to use it's macro function.

sketch?

Who has the time? I'm trying, I really am. Everything I did tonight came out bad, I think its too late in the day for me. So, I did these a while back, but they're new to everyone here so all of you can chew on that. Spiderman is copyright of Marvel comics (do I even need to say that?)

Hats

Smoking hats, don't know if you can tell, but the birds have on little gas masks.

and so it begins...

Here is where I will put a collection of mish-mash for all you kids that I left on the east coast. Hopefully it will contain sketches, but also photos and stories. So, I will now draw something and try to figure out how to post pictures.
