L.A. Business Trip
Last month I was in Los Angeles for meetings and stuff. Here’s an extremely abridged account that doesn’t seem to actually capture any of what I did there (except for the hours spent driving through traffic in a rental car.) Look for appearances by internet stars Bobby Miller, Nick Ross, Tim Curcio, Scott Ibex, and a surprise cameo by Shae D’Lyn of “Dharma and Greg”.
Frames from a new hand-drawn title card animation. It was fun to bust out the old-school lightbox and pencils:
PAFFLAGE X
Here’s my contribution to a group art/photo project conceived and curated by my friend William Rahilly. The whole thing requires a bit of explanation.
Try to tell me this leaf I found doesn’t look like a shark.
Go ahead. Try…. no, you are wrong. It does.
SHARK WEEK!
I drew this when I was 8.
I just wanted to see what the ocean would look like if sharks were multiplying at an alarming rate.
I was a weird kid.
SHARK WEEK!
I designed this new flag for the United States of America.
In case …you know… people were getting tired of our current flag.
SHARK WEEK!
SHARK WEEK continues.
Wizard vs. a Shark: who would win? Discuss.
***That bit of art is a detail from my contribution to the upcoming issue of Mammal Magazine, a cutting edge illustration anthology. Issue 3 will be out in a couple months.
SHARK WEEK!
I’ve just learned that it’s “SHARK WEEK”
Well, if that’s so, then I’m posting shark artwork all week long here.
And, yo… I have enough to last more than a week.

Future Spy - phase 3: pencils
Pencilling in the pages of my new comic book “FutureSpy” these days. Unlike in animation, you can make each comic book panel as detailed as you want without worrying about how it will look in motion. Every panel is an illustration unto itself.
The next phase is one I’ve been dreading: lettering :{
This is a Stegosaurus Pill
Within moments of swallowing this pill, your consciousness will be transmitted into the mind of an actual stegosaurus who lived 150 million years ago. You will immediately understand the emotions, desires, and memories of that stegosaurus and for up to 10 minutes you will have complete sensory transferral. Upon returning to your own body, the experience will seem like a dream and you will rapidly forget the sensations but will always know that it was real.
