Gold Stars Are For Suckers

I did a simple line drawing for this CD cover last week. It's the debut album of a local Vancouver band, the members of which are all good friends of mine. Their sound is pretty amazing; I think they'll do really well with this all-original album. You can listen to it here: http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/artist_songs/1257297

Time to lean, time to clean...or work on pitches!

I'm between jobs this week, so it's time to pull out the vacuum, dust cloth and peroxide (cough). And to get back to my favourite thing in the world, my pitches. I've been working on this one, called "Meat and Gravy", for a couple of years now. Here's some page samples.

It's about two thirty-something private eyes with a specialty...the supernatural. Let me know what you think.

COMICS! #2

Bits 'n Pieces #1

There's a rock act known in these parts (B.C., Alberta) as the best ACDC tribute band around. A local newspaper was doing a cover story on them, so the paper hired me to do a caricature of the band for the cover. Afterwards, the band, friends of mine anyway, asked if they could use it as the background for thier website.

Comics!

I like to draw these every now and then. Sort of a sideways jump from doing storyboards. I'll post more in coming weeks!

Hey, if you haven't done it already, please check out my new YouTube channel. Lotsa fun stuff on there: cartoons, cannibalism, zombies and more!

L.O.S.E!

I'm currently in the midst of storyboarding for Nerdcorps entertainment, a great outfit based out of Vancouver. The show is called "League of Super Evil", and is possibly the funnest thing I've ever done boards on.

It's also a fun show to watch. Like Ren and Stimpy, Spongebob Square pants, and even Bugs Bunny, it's great because it doesn't actually try to teach or preach...it's just pure fun. That's what cartoons should be about!!

Clockwork Girl

In September of 2010 I was asked to join the crew of a feature called The Clockwork Girl for a few weeks.

Though the film was in full production, I was told I only needed to storyboard a few sequences; it should only take a few weeks. Well, I worked there till March, producing over 3000 panels of storyboards in 5 months (about 3/4 of the film).

Though the film was troubled at the start, now that most of the problems have been worked out I really think this is going to be a great little movie!

So I made this iPhone App...

It's been a while since I last posted here, so I have some catching up to do...it's been a busy year!

Here are some screenshots from the iPhone app I designed last summer, based on the popular Canadian radio comedy, "The Champ". The programming was done by my buddy Chris Jackson, a Windows programmer, who taught himself Apple programming from scratch. We both learned a lot along the way...most importantly, building an iPhone app isn't the road to easy money. It was a lot of work, but fun, and I hope this shows in the final result. I've also included the intro animated segment...yeah, it's sideways, because it plays on the iPhone in the upright position...
