dreamworks might have finally made a funny movie that doesn't involve ogres, eddie murphy, or smash mouth.

i'm trying

don't have much personal work to post.
mainly just doin' the intern thing these days
and relaxing during the very few hours
i have to myself.

anyways, i been watching a lot of the shorts
from the students at Gobelins and i have to say
those are some of the most talented animators
around. they're building an army over there
in France. Amassing a horde of talented young artists
that are going to rule the animation world.

short lil demo reel for landin' me an internship somewhere this fall/winter. i've got some more recent animation that i plan to post and add into the reel later this week when it's completed, but until then enjoy this microscopic version of the original.

**edit: updated image (click it for a better resolution)

one more quicksketch (this ones sorta inspired by i am legend-- a surprisingly good movie), i'll probably flesh it out some more in the morning. as for now....

sleep.


face sketches

i've been doing a lot of portrait studies lately. the master of the human face and form, Norman Rockwell, has been a huge inspiration since i picked up his book "332 magazine covers". i'll post more from my actual sketchbook when i get some scan time. i also got a couple digital paintings i'm working on, they'll be up within the next week or so depending on school. in the meantime here's a warm-up for tonight's artful festivities.
