Art Student... Two more gifs in the can!

For some reason it's far easier to work on things, when thesis is not in the title...

Again another shot to match the words of the song.  I could add a video, but the song isn't ready for that yet... Enjoy a stationary man with paint goo...

Boom Chow....Boom Boom Chow

Recently I've been playing around with Photoshop, trying to wrap my head around some 2d animation. Lot of work, but pretty fun so far.  Above is a gif from a possible music short idea.

The Leafy Terror

It has been ages since I've updated this site, but now with all this unwanted free time, I can finally add some more recent work.

After finally reading and finishing Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud, a very inspiring read about the art, styles, and tropes behind modern comics, I felt compelled to try my own hand at the sequential media.   I was not prepared for how long it would take and so I definitely had to scale down in the end.  What you see above is my first attempt at an extremely short comic based on the old sketch below.

This rough idea was a quick drawing I threw together while travelling last summer.   Mathilde and I went on a  hike up to the border of France and Italy, which, I've been told, is considered beautiful and romantic by some.  I mean look at that:

  

There are trees and grass and stuff.

But sadly a big part of my memory, as with many other trips I've taken into the all consuming dark maw of Mother Nature's bosom, is dominated more by the fears and perils seen on the journey.

The mild and slightly humid heat of the early afternoon sun, causing torrents of salty fluids to escape my body, completely drenching my clothes.  The blood-chilling and spirit-breaking feeling as the strands of spider webs caress the exposed skin.  The incessant buzzing, cawing, mooing, barking, and chirping of the forest's unforgiving predators.  How can one not help but question the existence of God amid all these horrors? With all this exercise?

Well anyway, thankfully I made it back alive and I felt the need to share my harrowing tale.

The idea for later is to redraw the initial sketch so that it can be more of a complete piece.  Or have a job. Really, either works for me.

Until next time!

The Return of the Crimson Baker

The Crimson Baker Strikes Again

Meahahahahahaaa     

I am free!!!!

They thought they could lock me away...keep me silent, in that horrid jail of theirs.  Bound and shackled to the other rejects of society, they had hoped that the world would once again be safe from harm, safe from destruction, safe from buttery goodness.    

...

Don't they know they should have killed me?

SKETCHBOOK!!! : Space Chaos, Vanity, and a Birdman

Nothing too exciting these days. Still looking for work and still planning out my own ideas for the future.  So many shorts, so little time, money, and resources.  BUT SOON! Okay okay, less talking and more posting....Framboise!

Space Chaos with a Brainwave of Cosmic Elation

A Taste of France Part 02: Meet me at the Cafe

One thing I loved to do most was to sit down at a cafe an draw the people that were sitting near us.  Gave me some much needed practice and proved to be really relaxing in the end.

Ah...To be young and dumb....

Old Man (i'm tired okay)

I loved this guy and he was so expressive. I really wish I had more time to draw him.

Just fleshed out a quick idea
