Columbus and beyond

Getting set-up for a big push in both Knock Knock Cartoons land and other ventures.  Knock Knock Cartoons which has laid dormant but active for a number of years, will once again be reintroduced to the Ohio and national market.  Both Knock Knock and Horrendous will be active but will work on different ventures in animation market.  KKC will focus on traditional and corporate markets and HFC will push the old animation envelope.  Look forward to updates.

Chicago

Went to Chicago for longtime creative partner, RPM's 20th Anniversary.  Very nice party and a very nice way to celebrate some longevity in this ridiculous business where there are many failures and few successes.  RPM has been a loyal agency and I hope that I have provided the highest quality work I could achieve, they deserve it.

FIASCO in Columbus

Yep, Gav and Horrendous Fiasco is on the move again and has landed in Columbus, Ohio, south of the city of light and magic, Cleveland, but seated securely in the heartland of this great country.  Looking forward to getting the C-bus rolling on multiple fronts.  This blog after being pronounced dead several times is back up and running.

Background for a project in house. About 90% complete.

Still have to extend to accommodate a pan and make some tweaks.  Heavy influence from Maurice Noble

TIME CODE TEST

Starting to work the time code paintings on a different material.  Will be doing both printing and laser etching, this test is a laser etch process.  This test was created by Tripp Imaging Technologies and they have been incredibly helpful in putting this test and process together.

About ready to do some new work

I am traveling soon, down Savannah way to use the great facility at SCAD one more time.  I am working on a new direction and will be posting some art soon.  For now, here is a frame from the ill-fated "Where There's Smoke...There's Bob. (which recently has been digitized and will be up on this blog soon at well.
