80s

Here are some unused ultra-80s character designs I did.

I was going for a Patrick Nagel / Bruce Timm / Jem and the Holograms sort of thing.

I don't usually draw in this style so it was fun to experiment with something new.

Cabrito and Chewy

Nick Animated Original Short - Cabrito and Chewy
Get More: Nick,Nick Videos,Nick Games

Here's one of the Nickelodeon shorts I did some animation for. Check it out. Congrats to the usual gang of talented people at Six Point Harness who also worked on it!

Bond Girl

If you’re in the Los Angeles area on April 27th come check out the 50 years of Bond tribute show at Qpop gallery in Little Tokyo. A ton of talented artists are involved. Should be a good time.
Above is my piece titled “Bond Girl”.

Metlife - Everyone

I don't know why I never posted this, but here's a metlife commercial we worked on at 6PH for the 2012 Superbowl. It was a pretty quick project but a fun opportunity to animate some iconic characters. Who better to buy life insurance from than cartoon characters....anvil coverage is extra though.....also I'm surprised Fat Albert was able to get coverage. 

Large Marge Sent Me

A gif tribute to one of my favorite movies.

Yes sir....that was the worst...accident...I ever seen.

BATMAN DANCE PARTY

Another gif. This time it's a Batman dance party.

Go to GIFSOUND and mash it up with your favorite tune.

Here it is thrown together with the song that inspired me to do it in the first place.

Batman is the sonsy girl.

Beam Me Up: a Star Trek Show

This is my contribution to the Qpop gallery's Star Trek show. It's gonna feature a ton of incredibly talented artists. If you're kicking around LA, you should check it out.

Sparkle Sparkle

I actually really enjoyed Dredd. It was a simple action movie with some fantastic visuals. It definitely gave me the vibe of an 80s action flick.

Plus. Lots of sparkles.

Black Umbrella

I recently had the pleasure of doing some animation for the FOX sci-fi drama, Fringe.

It was a lot of fun to work on this Terry Gilliam-esque LSD trip.

The Secret Society of Hot Tub Gentlemen

I was cleaning off my desktop and I found some animation from an unfinished 24 hour film Cheyenne and I attempted a little over a year ago.

It was a 1 minute film about two "gentlemen" hot tubbers.

It was definitely a little ambitious for a 24 hour film, but we still got a lot of really fun and expressive drawings and animation out of it. It also gave us a chance to collaborate and experiment. 

At the end of the day, I guess that's the point...whether it was completed or not. *hangs head in shame*

I figured it was about time to post some of the work we did together.

Chey and I designed the characters together. "Snoots" is the orange guy and "Sleaze" is the green dude. 

I feel like they're a great balance of our styles. I can definitely see elements of us both in each character.

I boarded it, Cheyenne painted the beautiful BGs,

and we both did character layout and animation.

I can't take any credit for the image above. Cheyenne did this hilarious shot.

Always love working with her.

There was no dialogue in the film. It was all set to this Jackie Davis song.
Sexy, right?

SHARKMAID

#MermaidWeek

It's kind of like shark week but with significantly more boobs.

 

follow the hashtag above and see the irresponsible amount of mermaids that everyone has drawn this week.

#MermaidWeek

It's Mermaid week.

Cheyenne started it and it has spread like wild fire.

Hop on Twitter and check out what everyone's done so far.

You too can join in.

GIRLS: Fact or Fiction

Above is a teaser for my contribution to Light Grey Art Lab's Girls: Fact or Fiction gallery show.

The show features 100+ artists paying tribute to both real and fictitious women.

The most exciting part about this show is that they will be publishing a reversible book that will feature the real women on one side and the fictitious women on the other.

I contributed a piece based on Maude Lebowski.

The book is for sale HERE for $25 and will begin shipping in December.

It looks incredible and you should definitely grab a copy for the holidays.

The projects curated by Light Grey Art Lab really are incredible. The level of professionalism and care that goes behind their event organization is better than any indie gallery I've seen before.
I'm extremely proud to be a part of this project and I'll be sharing the pages of the book with a ton of talented artists such as: Cheyenne Curtis, Scott Forbes, and Nichole Ter Horst

Cheyenne Sunshine and the Daytime Players

Check out this collab that Cheyenne and I did a while back.

It started as an inside joke about her singing in a band of decrepit animatronic animals, and blossomed into this magical piece.

I did the chicken and the elephant and she did Cheyenne Sunshine, the rat and the cat.

Since I've known Cheyenne, she has inspired me to no end. I can't tell you how much fun it is to get the creative juices flowing with her. If you don't already know of her incredible work. go look. 

You will be charmed.

Below is another collaborative effort from a while back.

It was a design done by Chey, that I felt compelled to animate.

There's so much personality and honesty in her work that I cannot resist.

Why Obama Now

In light of the election, I figured I'd post this short film I did some animation for.

It was directed by the talented Simpsons / Family Guy storyboard artist, Lucas Gray, who approached a few of us from Six Point Harness and Jib Jab to help bring his vision to life. I really admired Lucas' passion for this project, as it was a personal endeavor. This sort of thing definitely makes politics accessible to a wide range of people. I may not have been able to vote (Since I'm a dirty Canadian) but I'm proud to have contributed in another way.

Mr. President, I'll be expecting my green card in the mail.

King of Cartoons

Tremble before the King of Cartoons.

I always wondered what this guy's deal was on Pee Wee's Playhouse.

BATRUN

Can't...Stop...Making...Gifs...

Just a quick, simple Batman run cycle I did instead of packing.

I used a design I did way back for a Bday card for Cheychey

seen...

THE JESUS

Don't fuck with him.

a quick gif before bed.

Sad Days, Lonely Nights

I've been listening to a lot of Junior Kimbrough lately which inspired me to create this little scene.

(Higher res still below)

In One Piece.

Cheyenne recently did a funny comic about body image and American Apparel.

It inspired me to put myself into the American Apparel add campaign.
