January 22nd 2007 - Happy new year
Just a small update. Been busy with freelance stuff again
leaving me not too much time to work on my animation project. More freelance is
coming down the pipeline. A possible big project. So will really have to juggle
time around. We will see though. Hope to post a sketchblog piece soon.

Sketchblog Update - Dec 11th 2006
Finally got to work on Pesky Invaders. Still in a slow stage building and coloring a character. It is not very exciting and easy to get distracted. Hope to get through it soon. Speaking of distractions, I did come up with some new ground on another short I might work on next. did some character tests and is looking good.
A few doodles of character head sketches for the sketchblog.

First look at Alien - Oct 10th 2006
Production journal Update!
I have been making progress on Pesky Invaders again. I am currently coloring the old man character for the first scene. There will be a production update on that very soon. I have snapped some pictures as well as screen grabs and am in the process of creating a big juicy post. So stay tuned for that! Until then I decided to leave you with a first look at a rough sketches of the alien character. The alien has evolved a little since this drawing was created but on the whole is the same.
enjoy

Sketchblog update Oct. 5th
I observed something trippy last week. I walked by an ice cream cone dropped on the sidewalk. I did not think too much of it other than not to step on it. Fifteen minutes later I was walking back and saw it had hardly melted! Mind you it was a pretty warm day. It had migrated about 4 inches since the sidewalk was on a slight incline. Having that cone drop might have been the best thing that could have happened to the once owner.
Anyway, updated drawing in the sketchblog.

Another Sketchblog Update - Sept. 15th 2006
Once again another sketchblog update.
Here is a drawing for a character I have created named Jack A. Lope. If you could not tell from the name or image, he is a jack lope. He is in a short I am currently writing. I have a completed script but I am still doing treatments on it. His looks are a rough parody of early Mickey circa 30's. Like the modern Mickey he has become a victim of being a corporate product logo character...only he is a little ass!

Update - September 1st 2006
Just an update...
Keeping busy with some work doing logos. Downside of course is it cuts into
working on Pesky Invaders. I have actually moved forward on it, but at a very
slow rate with nothing to show. However clear skies with a chance of animation
appear to be headed my way. Also stay alert for a sketchblog post soon.
