BIGFOOT

Just a sketch from my youth. I used to love Big Daddy Roth and those crazy model kits.

Cargill

Design from 2006...going through files again.

Sun and Giraffe

Designs for a kids project that never happened. I can be cute for a big man.

OBTW

I am taking six months to get Horrendous Fiasco up and running. It is about time. I have many projects in the works for some of my web friends and I am sure they will be happy that I am finally concentrating on them. I will even be working on a Horrendous Fiasco website. FINALLY!! I am also happy to report that I am producing another independent short film entitled, "Scribbleman in Doodletown", a fable that explores the life of doodles, scribbles, anarchy,and death. Jeez, now I am feeling overwhelmed, I think I'll get drunk first. HA.

New Studio

I have recently moved to a new studio and am very happy. Primarily due to the fact that it is right next to my house. Very easy commute. While rearranging and looking through a ton of old stuff, I came across my first and only attempt at digital painting. I am in need of something to post while I clean up another mess from moving. I still think his eyes are a little crossed. Oh Well.

Yep, I have been out of it

Well, I am back after being on vacation to beautiful Cleveland Ohio. Sorry for the absenteeism. I promise to get this blog going again soon. I am in LA right now on the last leg of an animation business adventure. Looks like I will be very busy in the next six months. I won't be making any money but I am convinced that what being an artist is all about, right?! What a dumbass, I turned out to be.

Again with the Montage

I posted this bad boy before but until the Horrendous Fiasco website is complete, I am forced to recycle it every once in a while.

Horrendous Fiasco

This is just a little update. Horrendous Fiasco has been pretty busy this year so far. We just finished a job for Brulant/Nationwide Insurance (Web animation) and we have some more potential work on the horizon. I am concentrating my efforts over the next month or two on getting several of Fiasco's internal projects off the ground, like our website. It has been a very different process designing for myself. I am easily the worst client ever. I have found it very difficult deciding on one direction since I have learned in my career to do so many different styles. I do think we have finally decided on a "look" and hopefully will be up and running by July. YAY! As my good friend Tom Parker used to say, "More Later!"

Heineken: Share The Good

Share the Good, not good

There is a new Heineken commercial that is very reminiscent of many of the popular Coca Cola commercials of my youth being aired presently. This commercial is called "Share the Good". It features individuals from many cultures and backgrounds sharing their beer with one another. It is fine example of a ridiculous commercial. The commercial starts out okay with several scenes of a single person sharing a beer with another single person, okay, making sense so far. Then the trouble begins, there is a scene where a lumberjack type shares one beer with what appears to be a Indian celebration of some sort. Why just one beer for so many people? Did they run out of beer while shooting the commercial? Aren't they selling beer? Why not beer for everyone even the elephant! Then there is my favorite, a ballerina walks into a Russian steam room with a tray of three beers, apparently someone from the production company made a beer run. In the steam room there are FOUR or FIVE guys and the ballerina has only three beers. Who gets gypped? Who in the agency or the production company can't count? Who in the hell was the continuity director on this spot? What is the message here...share as little good as possible? Would love to find out who did this mess.
