urgh..

This is old. It was part of a failed freelance attempt. Anyway, they of course can go eat a big poo dog.
On another, happier note, this cool cat has a blog now. Chris Battle. You've probably seen his stuff and not even known.

Grumpy Thumb Monkey

Thumb monkey is kinda gross.... so I had to draw him with Mary's wacom!!
Man...what a cranky monkey.
This one is so gross. Made me want to try illustrator and go freehand, so I did this:

I feel all Kirsten Ulve-y, she has the mad vector skillz everybody knows! I do not mean to offend any of her fans with my half assed computer monkey.
I encourage everyone to draw a thumb monkey of their very own. He can live on your desktop and be cranky, 'cause a thumb monkey with no thumb to hold is very sad indeed. Here is another photo. I think this one is a Colubus monkey?

Another thing from today. I also made white corn tortilla soup....from scratch. BEHOLD MY PRODUCTIVNESS!!! Wha ha ha!!

cute animals found on Google

Feeling kinda groggy, but tomorrow will be an easy day. Don't want to have to scan stuff in to post, but here's some daily inspiration found on Google. Nothing is cuter and more interesting to look at than Mother Nature.

Could use a dozen of these little guys to help out with work. Maybe each one could be holding a different drawing tool? You could yell "eraser", and they run across the desk and drop it in your hand!

These guys are gross and cute at the same time. I bet they sing songs together. Like a barbershop quartet.

Octopi are just amazing. Look at those colors! He should be a model.

OOH!!! This blog is so not about the tai chi animation!
Animation teacher Blog Inspirational and sensational. :D

Huzzah suckas!!

Just felt like typing "huzzah". Finishing up freelance, gotta go to Sandy Money Kah tomorrow... Disturbing screen grabs.....I need cable.....uhh.......



Secret model sheet of poo for today is gone! Ha! Ha!
May no piece of internet paper printed for camel reference go unused.
A post-it.

Cookie Monster

This is very disturbing. Cookie monster and Martha Stewart
This is very cute. Squishy Manatee
I will go get some tea now.

Robocon Art show

There will be an art show at Robokon tonight, from 7-10pm in Chinatown, Los Angeles. Many colleagues will have artwork up, pertaining to progressive, or destructive futures. Sounds like it'll be a neat show.

Megan Brain art show

I almost forgot to post this. Megan Brain creates beautiful, delicate, intricate paper sculptures. Her subjects are fashion, animals, and cultures from around the world. She's having a gallery show at Nickelodeon tonight, 5-7pm. The show is called "Dimensions", and another great artist, Alan Bodner will also be displaying some paper art. Here are their websites. Pay them a visit and be in awe! www.meganbrain.com

No more Halloween for another year.....BOO!

I be scanning!! My back hurts. Had lunch with a vampire, Indiana Jones, and a cowgirl yesterday at the Glendale Mall. Here be a sketch from a few months ago. I don't think I'll use her for anything anytime soon. There is so much cool Halloween stuff out there, I think if I had a project planned I'd go in another direction with this. I guess her name is Hilda. The image says "Elf" and "Elph" 'cause at the time I was looking into the Sony Elph. Alot of the reviews for that camera on Amazon said that they were extremely fragile, so I went with another camera. It's a Sony too. These drawings scare me.
I'm almost done scanning. Going to bed early tonight! Yay!
Here's a direct link to a low quality clip of the PPG anime...if no one's seen it before.

Sell out am me R us.

Or something. Thinking about putting a store section on my website. Here are some links where you can buy crap that has my artwork. Woo hoo.

Nucleus is selling prints of "Arrow Bird" if you are into that sort of thing. The color is pretty good, the yellow is a tad lemony, but still good. They also might have copies of "Banana Cat" and the first printing of "Oxytocin". I am not sure. They also have alot of beautiful prints and books from other artists. Those Catia Chien Bird series are interesting. :D

Stuart Ng Books has copies of "Banana Cat" and the accidental second printing of "Oxytocin". So if you wanted some wonky poop, you have a second chance. At least it's a better quality printing job. They also have a HUGE collection of books, ranging from artists' sketchbooks, and hard to find books. They have alot of Claire Wendling stuff too, although a bit pricey, but they are a bit hard to find in the states.

Here is an old drawing of dragons hunting bunnies. I must have had alot too do that day....

P.S. Sure has been alot of purple in this blog lately.....hmmmm....

Happy Halloween poopoofaces!

Happy Halloween every budd-ay! I have to go give out candy to little boogery children now.

Enchilada, burrito, y taquito!!

Yay!!! Just what everybody wants to see! More cat photos!!!
This year, Skippy wants to be an enchilada for Halloween.
He is a high calorie enchilada full of cheese and beans.
Feel bad for poor apartment kitties that don't get to go outside.

A tree kitty, mocking Skippy's confinement.
Get in my belly!

An epic movie about Skippy

Ninjas!!

F%%% blogger. It's all glitchy. Stoopid! lost my crap. oh well.
Anyways....I drew a ninja. She is sad, I do not know why, but I found a

ninja man with no shirt

. I just found him, I wasn't looking for ninjas. Maybe now she won't be so sad?

Another ninja man.

Sara figure painting.

Old...ughhhh. Icky naked lady. This is from 2001, my junior year at CalFarts. She's like, the most famous model at the school, or something. Look at any portfolio from that school and you'll see a bazillion sketches of her. Not that it's a bad thing. Most colleges rotate the same models I'm sure. Don't know if she still poses for the workshops or other places in LA. This wasn't done in MS paint. I think it was watercolor, during a morning session. This is a crappy scan of a laser copy of it. Don't know where the original is, so the colors are pretty greyed out. I used to paint. I miss it.


p.s. Listening to soundtrack internet radio. They're playing the

"Sneakers"

soundtrack. YES!!

Meat meat meat!! Rawr, rawr, rawr!!!

A dinosuar hunting for meat in the night. Meat, meat, meat! This was made with MS Paint, the best art program out there! Rawr!!!

Artseee fartseeee!

Did this drawing for something I want to do this weekend. Found this video on boingboing I think.

It's an electronic paintbrush that can pick up textures and colors, and then you can paint digitally with them!

The video is a pretty fun demostration, and has some catchy music too!
Some more videos from www.youtube.com. They seem to have a better selection than google at the moment.

An old 70's anime intro

"Betty Boop's Snow White"

I'm not a big Betty Boop fan, but there are a lot morphing Fleischer gags, and an awesome Cab Calloway song.

Kelpie

Look. A kelpie. A horse fishy creature. Drew this months ago.

I went to "The Grove" in Hollywood yesterday. It's an outdoor yuppie mall. Very entertaining. Tiny dogs are a fashion statement there. Dogs are cool, especially mutts. I saw an old man with a whippet. I would like to adopt a whippet someday. They are used in racing, and are very sweet dogs. I heard that when they retire the dogs, alot of them go up for adoption, and some have heart problems. 'Cause they run really fast. I have some old whippet drawings somewhere, maybe I'll post them soon.
Here are my dumb internet finds for the weekend. They're old and annoying. Annoying is a plus.

They're taking the hobbits to Isenguard!

MP3 of the song

Fred Moore is hot.

....or says Paris Hilton. 'Cause that's the only adjective she knows. I went to a Gris Grimley gallery show Sat. night. It was neato, there was alot of artwork from "The Muddy Spud". I really like his water nymph print. Maybe someday it will live in my house. The show was at Van Eaton Animation gallery, they had alot of other stuff there too. Look at this beautiful Fred Moore(?) centaurette. He probably animated this, I'm not sure. It looks like his design though. There is even some walk timing under her feet. Oh the days of hand drawn animation....hope they become popular soon! Inspiration!! Every little girl animator's happiness!

Hiatus, hibernation, vacation, lay-off...whatever you prefer

So my last day was yesterday. A bunch of us went out for Korean food last night. Last day of group coffee break for awhile too. Maybe I'll be back, depends on what shows the network wants I guess. In the meantime, I'll work on my stuff, enjoy 1pm naps, and catching up with friends. Kinda sad 'cause it was really cool there. Poop. That's animation.
Here are some gross doodles I did at work a long time ago. I don't post this stuff on my website 'cause people confuse it for "development art". It's not. Just a bunch of wonky stupid drawings, that are very off model.

Let's get Diggin'!!

Ok, for some reason, I am now obsessed with really bad cg animation with an extrememly low poly count. I don't know what game this is from, but the song is quite catchy!

Diggin'

Also, in case any one missed it, this little gem fits the bad cg category too. Bad Zelda
AAAAHHHH!!! Saw this on www.cartoonbrew.com, more info there. Totorro screening Saturday night at the Arclight. AAAAHHHH!!! Apparantly, you need to pay

$1295

to get passes to the Hollywood Film Festival, but maybe I'm being stupid and reading it wrong. Maybe I should email them. Grrr....forget it. It's not worth it, especially for an english dub with Dakota Fanning.

From Cartoon Brew:
"DISNEY'S TOTORO DUB
Posted by JERRY at 12:01 AM
You can still get tickets for the Hollywood Film Festival closing night World Premiere of Disney's dub of MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO. Hayao Miyazaki's 1988 animated classic has been re-dubbed by an all-star cast including Dakota Fanning, Timothy Daly and Pat Carroll. It's one of Miyazaki's best, and it's currently hard-to-find on dvd. I will be hosting a Q & A with English version production personel before the show. October 23rd at 7pm at the Arclight Cinema on Sunset Blvd. More info here."

I Harth Darth

A cute tiny comic about Darth Vader's daily life. Kinda hard to read 'cause they are so small. And cute.

I Harth Darth

The most recent comics involve Darth's hatred for Han because he's dating Leia. He's an

overprotective dad.

This post-it drawing was made weeks ago. I owe one of my co-workers a drawing, so she's probably getting this one. She makes beautiful origami. I have sharks, lobsters, crabs, pill bugs and flower origameees.
Eeek! One more note.

THIS

pretty much sums up where internet is going.
