drawberry fields forever.

dig that word play.

The Site. The Reel. The Legend.

The Site has been given a few upgrades. also the reel is working. check out the new version:

www.THEBARNESVAULT.com

here's the reel again, just to get it out there floatin' around the internets.

business.

got the new business cards last week. also putting together some nice flatbook pages and packaging stuff. that's for another post though. check it.

ps: website goes live within the week. keep your internet eyes peeled.

superman.

i try to avoid drawing superheroes every chance i get, so here's a quick self-portrait of me being kickass.

Barnes on deck.

the site's still in the shop, but here's a teaser "coming soon" page. this is also a test to see how many people can actually see this page. leave a comment if you can see it.

Red The Exploder.

stuck at home with a busted-ass jaw this weekend courtesy of my local dentist. so here's another post. some basic t-shirt designs and band logo designs i did for my friends Red The Exploder. check em out.

all designs are copyright Jason Barnes 2009.

Trailer Park Boys.

Over the past year i've been completely addicted to Trailer Park Boys. I must've watched every season about 4 times through. Funniest show around.

these are some sketchbook pages that i did, usually while watching the show (so they're kinda influenced by it). the character's on there are some of the most memorable people you'll ever meet, not to mention some of the funniest you'll ever draw.

EDIT: trying to upload new pictures so you can click and see them up close. my bad.

part 1

pair of sketch goods from early spring.

probably do some animation with the second one.

style is king.

robert valley is my f***in' hero.

oh and The Beatles too.

sneakin' one in.

so i been prairie doggin' these posts lately, not putting up any real artwork. and that won't really change with this post. here's a screen cap of my current motion graphics project i'm putting together for my reel. check back in a few days and maybe i'll post a video or two.

whoa.

seen this pop up on a few people's blogs lately. pretty much how i played as a kid.

straight to video.

came across this when i was looking for the bridgeman drawing a minute ago, too funny not to post. this was a ridiculously fake trailer i had to do for a digital video class a couple years back. there's supposed to be a New Line Cinema's Logo at the beginning but for some reason it's not in any of the test videos i had published. oh well.

oh and in case you've lived under a moldy rock for the past 15 years, dumb and dumber is where the clips are from. (i suppose that last statement can double as my defense against any copyright infringement that may be brought upon me.)

enjoy the movie.

old bridge

digi-bridgeman i did a few months ago.

got a big post in the works. stay classy.

stop being so newish.

recent sketchbook goods.

more to come later this week.

she's comin'.

this is the home page of my new website i'm working on. for those following the blog, you'll be the first to know when it's up and kicking the internet's ass.

one more today

some faces for my next animation.

test.

controls:  movement  [arrow-keys: left, right, up]

                action  [hold spacebar]

though it's not really a game (yet?) this is my first venture into action scripting and game animation. tell me if you can't play or see it.

refresh

dailies

throwin' down some shapes this afternoon with a lil inspiration from Cartoon Modern.

un mas

weenie bikini's and other poolside fashion faux pas

it's something.

by the way, i started an important personal project recently.

stay in the loop and save the world.

all work and no play makes jason trace photographs and post them to his blog.

sorry i don't have much of my "own" work to show.

give me a few weeks.

also im so busy i turned this thing into my blog-header.

i'm a go-getter. enjoy.

one more.

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

monsters vs. aliens

i don't have a link really. for some reason i can't find the trailer anywhere on the internet other than on Cook's blog check it.

original crap will be posted soon. my brain is being spread thin like butter over a big ol' pile of flapjacks, so hold on.

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.

check em out:

Voodoo

Pyrats

Wild Casting

"oh hail, i'm exposed! nudified!"

this is me, modeled and rendered in maya, composited in after effects, compressed in premiere, textured in photoshop, and finally deleted and replaced with this image of myself done in the style of squidbillies. i'm scanning some stuff as i write this. probably post it tomorrow.

keep it sleezy,

Jason.
