Chuck Jones Experience (Part 1)

I was in Las Vegas a few weeks ago and found out that Circus Circus had a Chuck Jones exhibit up. It was a really well done exhibit and you could take as  many pictures as you wanted.  I didn't want to photograph the entire exhibit, but I took a lot of pics.

It started with a montage of clips of his animation after which you could walk through and see his animation desk.  The opposite wall had a bookcase full of books covering a wide variety of topics.

The next couple of rooms had animation drawings, model sheets, character turn-a-rounds, gag drawings, and more. 

I'll end the tour here for the week.  Next week should finish off my recounting.

Article for State Park

I'm in Hawaii, so this and the next post are scheduled...

A few weeks ago i posted the designs I did for a project to keep Los Encinos State Park open.  Recently the efforts (and one of the drawings) was in a local paper.

July 2012 Demo Reel

I'm applying for a couple jobs/internships this week, so I needed to update my reel with what I've been working on.

There might not be posts for the next couple weeks as I'll be on vacation with my family.  I'll try and have some scheduled posts, but if not then I'll hopefully have some new drawings (I'm bringing watercolors, so I may do some paintings as well) up.

Girls

I wanted to post yesterday, but I was away in Vegas and didn't have internet access... but here are some girl drawings I did while at a concert at my church.  I did the underdrawings at the concert, and did the graphite lines after.  I got some Blackwing pencils at the gift shop at the Chuck Jones exibit at Circus Circus (if you're an animation fan and are in, near or are going to Vegas while its there then definitely go!) and decided to try them out.  I LOVE THEM!

In Waiting Animatic

Here's the animatic to go with the story boards from last week.  Some of the timing on it is still a bit off, but I can use this as a jumping off point.  (I've already extended one scene from 2.5 seconds to 6.5.)

Short Film Storyboards

I've finally finished reboarding my short film.  I'm still working on the animatic, but when that is finished it'll go up here too.  We'll see how long my film has grown in this version.

Doctors in the Vortex

I've been working on a series of the Doctor in his various regenerations.  I've finished the 7th, 9th, 10th, and 11th doctors.  I'm working on the 5th Doctor right now and researching the others.  I'm trying to capture the character of each version which is a bit difficult as I haven't watched much of the classic series.

All of them are and will be available as prints and iphone cases on my Society 6 shop.
