Happy Father's Day!

Here is something based on a true story. It is really bad. It is not finished.
One time, a long time ago, I got my Dad to play ponies. It only happened once for a reason. He probably doesn't remember this. But I have never been able to look at ponies the same way ever again. Sorry if it doesn't make sense. It's not on youtube for a reason.

Barf!
I actually have some My Little Pony drawings. I should post them eventually. :(

Merry Halloweeniemas Time!

Those two holidays are getting too close together, or maybe I'm just getting senile. I tried making the most annoying, girly Halloween cartoon I could, but was busy with a bunch of dumb crap. I got back to it this week. Here it is. I uploaded it to Vimeo, which is 1000000x better quality than pooptube. No dropped frames and blurry bgs, and you can download the quicktime file there for your own portable devices.

Crappy Youtube version.

Horrible random facts:
Flash with wacom tablet. Like drawing with a giant melted crayon, on a cookie sheet, with my feet.
Two full weeks of work, off and on.
Hallucinated my tea cup was wiggly from lack of sleep.
The version on my computer actually has easy to read backgrounds.
The story still doesn't make any sense though, or fix timing and 180 problems.
Poor computer is old and I'm amazed it was able to handle this, barely.
My flight home for Xmas has been cancelled three times the last 24 hours.
I was able to finish editing because that happened.
My stomach hurts.
I'm being to negative.
But I had sushi with Clio! HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAA!!!!
MERRY HOLIDAY SUPER WEEK EVERYBODY!!!

(Konami please don't sue me!)

I gave myself a deadline this week. I didn't make it. So there is this instead.
Have a safe Halloween.
I love Guinea dinosaur.

Bizzy Stuffs

Here is a bunch of stuff I've been working on last couple of years. All the drawings are mashed together, they are secret!

Until next year, if it looks like they might be ok for a sketchbook. One of the projects I've been working on for awhile, with friends helping/putting up with me. The other is a children's book, and all the images should be colored by the end of this summer, and it won't be published until fall 2009. So maybe a sketchbook next summer of all that crap. Being unhirable for millions of months has lifted the guilt of spending time on my own work.

I was bored last week so I animated a dragon walking for no reason. He has no goal. He sucks. It was made in flash with a wacom tablet. Really dumb way to work. Paper and scanning would have been faster, but maybe with a cintiq it would have been close. Behold the wonkiness! The colors got sucky and grainy when uploaded, looks like a bad 1980's vhs tape. If you look closely, you can see accidental bunny roughs.

The music is "Money Loving Dragon" by Yoko Kanno.

I have decided to change careers and become a doctor. I am going to "Dr. Mario's Fancy Doctor School for People Who Don't Draw Good". My teacher is the Boogervampire, standing to the right. As you can see, my color matching skills are to be desired. I hope to cure stomach cramps and migraines someday.


Here are some photos of Skippy, since he is still alive.



Bye for now.
P.S. I saw "Kung Fu Panda". It made me happy. The cg animation on the turtle was ahhmahzing!

Computer is fixed!

The monster computer is working again! Nice friends came by, we went to Fry's, got a new graphics card, and now ol' Dell is working better than ever. Yay! Here is a would be thank you dance from Skippy if he could dance on two legs.

Pink and green pixels are no more!! Hooray!! Bad animation to classical music! Boo!!

Mass exodus of NERDS

If Wonky Batgirl was going to the San Diego Comic Con, what would she bring in her utility belt??



A tomato, for when she goes to panels. She can throw them at people who ask stupid questions about why A character won't hook up with B character. She can also throw the tomatos at exclusive screenings of stuff she has decided will suck, even though she actually hasn't seen any footage yet and the crew is working long hours and putting their heart and soul into it. YAY!!


See above for baseball bat.



If you are stinky, she will be lurking in the shadows, with soap in hand.



For cleanliness, hydration, and to help move people faster through lines.



Strong enough for her and for nerds. Probably a sport fragrance.



Good teeth promote good health for all involved!



Exactly.


Other than that, for anybody going, have fun!!

I am learning flash at work. Here is the first animation in years, no thumbnails, no direction, so poopy. But it is really exciting learning new stuff. I LOVE animation!!!
