Sketchin'

I've been away doing big thangs lately.  Got engaged (woo!), went to San Francisco (awesome!), and have been killer busy at the day job with projects.  I'm still plugging along on boards for my portfolio and did this sketch the other night as a warm up.  I've really been on a dogs/people-juxtaposition kick lately.  Fun times.

Sketches

This blog has been a little lacking in the sketch department so let's fix that, shall we?  Alrighty then.  These were all done in the last month or so and include everything from my recent trip to Arizona, to watching a lecture at the library, as well as some cafe sketches that were an assignment for my storyboarding class.  It's funny to be required to do sketches for an assignment, since I try and do it all time anyways.  Anywho, I promise to get better at posting sketchy stuff and will do so once I get my big scanner all hooked up.

Cheerio!

Kenpo Movie

I just started working on a short film with the Iowa Filmmakers tentatively titled 'Kenpo Movie'. Actually that name is just a placeholder and as soon as we figure out was it's called I shall tell it to the world.  Simply put, it's about a guy that's just trying to do right by the world but also happens to be a classical violinist and martial arts badass.   We're not too far along it but it's coming together quite nicely.  Just yesterday we rehearsed and demo'd some of the fight sequences to get the choreography straightened out.  I'll post more about this as we get farther into production, but here's some sketches of Jack ( the main character) playing his violin.
