Man Grab

This ever happened to you guys?

You go in for the hug with your buddy, but he's thinking hand shake...

so you switch to hand shake, but now your buddy is ready to hug. 

By the time you connect, you end up in this weird thing that nobody is invested in.

Solution: Man grab. You hold out one hand to shake and the other to hug,
then just get ready for the best man grab you'll ever have.

A coyote of my own

www.dailycoyote.net is a blog I like to look at. It is by Shreve Stockton who writes and takes pictures about her pet coyote, Charlie. I love this blog because I too would love a pet coyote. I hope to one day find a recently orphaned coyote baby and raise it up to be my loyal dog.

The closest I've gotten, was jogging near CalArts. I was running through some high brush, and the head of coyote popped up only ten feet away from me. I took a moment to try and tame the wild dog with my eyes. It was a good half minute of locked looking balls when I decided I needed to take our relationship to the next level. I knelt down slowly. She turned her head to take off, but my eyebrows went up in an expression that said "don't go". She got the message and turned back towards me. I took this as a good sign, so I held out a hand to invite a nice pet, but she had enough. The kiyoat jumped over the hill and out of my life forever. I ran those same hills over the next few weeks with corn chips in my pocket. I was hoping to see her again, and use the corn chips to lure her in close to me. I thought just as she came to snack, I would wrestle her to the ground and wait until she gave in to our friendship. Now I know for next time you befriend wild animals through force, not patience and respect.

KILLER CACTI

                                    "How bad is it?"

I once fell into a cactus bush. This drawing is no exaggeration, I nearly died.  I remember this situation happened not long after my sister had fallen into her own cactus bush. I did not heed that warning or the warning found in the theme song for Hey Dude. But these days I hear it loud and clear. "Watch out for those man-eating jack rabbits and that killer cacti, heeeeeyyy dude."

 

Star Trek

Here are some production designs I did for the new star trek movie. I didn't think the designs needed to be updated. I hope the final film will have the same energy as these three vignettes.

NEW STUFF

These guys are for a story I am working on in my free time.

Neverending Characters

When I finished my film I stop drawing the main characters. I stopped because it was all I drew for a whole semester. For months and months I designed, animated, and colored this guy and his monkey, so I stopped. But then a few days ago I sat down with my sketch book and I wanted to draw them.

I love the feeling of knowing exactly how to do it. There is no question of where the eyes go, or how long the legs are. The pencil instinctively knows where to go. I definitely recommend going back and drawing your old characters. And if you don't have an old character just draw somebody elses. For example, spawn, e.t., ziggy... the list goes on.

Icarus in SPACE!

I have been watching a lot of science fiction lately. I watched the Alien series again, threw in some RobocopI, II, and The Abyss, A real smorgasbord of the future. I think they are all great and I think hollywood would be smart to do one mega crossover. Robocop, Alien, T1000, Neo, Ironman team up to fight Wolverine, Skywalker, E.T. , and Biff Tannen.... Wolverine would win.

Composition

I have been trying to get better in picking the right compositions for my storyboards. Here are some photos I took around town for practice.

Super Excited!

There has been a lot of superhero talk lately. I think its because of The Dark Knight. I can't WAIT to see that film!!!! WOOOO!

Film Study

These are some quick composition sketches I did from a movie trailer I saw recently. The film looks amazing. Can you guess which movie it is?

Time of my life

I am learning so much at the studio. Everyone is amazing and each day I feel my head might soon pop with awesomeness.

I know I have not posted for awhile but to the few that to come to visit, I will do something soon.

The Airship Danger

DOOOOOOOOONNNNEEE!!! I turned in my film this morning!

What an adventure it was this year. It went by so quickly and I learned so much. Making a film gives you so many suprise lessons throughout. Invaluable ones that get light bulbs to turn on inside your head.

I can't wait to see all the films in the open show!
