Dear Blog, I have... a confession

I love Sailor Moon, I'm a huge fan girl. There you go, I said it. Ridicule if you must, or unite silently! This is ... a very kind self portrait of myself. I love super powers and all, but if I actually ever wore the costume, I'd be pretty... uncomfy. And yes can't go with out converse ;)

merry christmas!

Merry Christmas!

The Squirrels are Always Watching

well... the special announcement will have to wait , a bunch of my pet projects have been put on hold this month, why? gigs over lapped each other (unexpectedly) and I've been on a three week stretch(much to the chagrin of my wife and kid) of designing during the day and boarding in the evening, to top it off I was asked by a major feature studio (deliberately cryptic) to do a test for story.... all of that couple with the madness of the holiday season has delayed a bunch of stuff until the new year.
Thanks everyone who drops by this blog your comments and emails are greatly appreciated keep visiting and keep an eye on the "November Need Dinosaurs" post (more of those coming) hopefully in January I'll be back on track....hopefully

right... so updating... regularly. oh.. the funny.

Alright. so my blog has been basically fed enough to not to starve- so I"m hoping that my sketch books over the past few months will satisfy for a bit.

November Needs Dinosaurs !

sketches

I was watching the special features to Jungle book, and there was bit of advice from wooly wutherman (one of the nine old men ) and he stated that "you gotta care about the story your telling. Your like an oral storyteller, and you gotta make them care about what you care about." I like that. With me personally I tend to draw for the sake of drawing. So Lately I've been focusing on my posing, and their expression and trying to think about what their do'n. I'll post more on teh story later. But for now he's some poes of some characters I've been toying around with.

Dear blog, I have not forgotten you.

take er' easy

well..... the last few months have been especially busy, flying back and forth from Vancouver to Toronto, working on a book, working on the blog, just plain working, and somewhere in there finding the time to hang out with my beautiful wife and baby, needles to say... I'm exhausted so posts are going to die down in frequency until fall after the "art of Albert and Hobson" (name of the book) is finished up, I'd like to thank everyone for leaving the kind comments over the last year it's been greatly appreciated, keep visiting more artwork coming soon...just not as much
