Finished the initial animatic for "Snow Angel"

Snow Angel was initially a demo created by Dave Fedan for Knock Knock Cartoons, many years ago.  The beautiful background work be Dave inspired me to create a film, this film.  Here is one of the amazing backgrounds. Originally, planned as a 4X3 production, we are now setting up the files for an HD roll out.

Getting started on several fronts

Both Knock Knock Cartoons and Horrendous Fiasco is gearing up on several fronts.  IT is building content time and I have been busily creating storyboards, art, and working on animation projects to be released before the end of 2015.  It is really great to get going.

Settling in Columbus

Well, settling here, back in Ohio, has been a tad bumpy.  Had a studio space, don't have a studio space, have work, have too much work, have other stuff to do.  Would love to get to some of the projects on the docket, hope I will be able to get to something fun soon.

This is always the balance between making money and making progress, they do not always coincide.

Starting up Knock Knock Cartoons again

As many of you know, I was the head cheese at Knock Knock Cartoons back in the day, well Knock Knock is kicking the dirt off its coffin and coming back to life for another stint in animation production land.  Horrendous Fiasco will still be around, but it will be changing into Knock Knock's development arm.  Check out Knock Knock's new website at knockknock2ns.com and it's blog at knockknockcartoons.blogspot.com

So is the Doc

Will be making more progress in the days ahead.

Here is the "Doc" from Jimmy's World of Hurt" (SO FAR)

Jimmy's back

Jimmy's World of Hurt is a project I started with Max Cannon (of Red Meat fame) years ago.  I have recently decided that it is again worth pursuing and am busy whacking out the character designs for the Flash production.  Here is where we are at.

Prelim character design by Tommy Rodricks for HFC

Prelim character design from Tommy Rodricks, a very talented student that Gav met when teaching at Mass Art.  This is great to have some young talent contribute to the development cause.  Great design Tom.

Moving forward and outward

As the Knock Knock Cartoons website gets its build on, Horrendous is moving in several direction in the process of becoming Knock Knock's development arm.  Working on several projects, redeveloping a few others.  2015 looks bright.

Horrendous Fiasco

We are changing the overall purpose of the "Fiasco" into the development arm of Knock Knock Cartoons.  Knock Knock never went away, and now it just makes sense to split the purpose of these two entities.  The Horrendous site will stay up for now, but will soon transition.  Knock Knock's site is slated for early January 2015.

Finding Art in the oddest places

Looking through the archives for website art...some I have used before and others...
