Rogue

The crew keeps growing.

Magnus.

With the new X-Men comics coming out, it had me thinking about Rogue's Age of Apocalypse outfit & how much I loved it...

Just a few faces from an old explainer project.  Loved this set...

Another Deande illustration... I love drawing her.

Quick sketch of one of my favorite X-Men, Rogue.

Really exciting project I'm working on that is looking to help stop human trafficking in SE Asian countries.

Storyboards!

Just a little TV spot for a ski resort.

Watching LoTR tonight... such a classic. Drawing my version of Frodo here.

Character Sketch

Just some random character sketches today...

 

A little sci-fi epic concept...

I'm always a huge nerd for science fiction of any medium... though many concepts are re-imagined or just plain re-used, I don't seem to ever be tired of them!

My "Blah's"

Lots of things going around in my head -- exploring and reminding myself to let go and have fun to draw... very quick sketches today.

Tumblr blog up!

Got on board the Tumblr wagon... I'm mainly going to satisfy my anime fan art craving there, but I'll keep this one updated as well!  Check it out if you are on Tumblr!

A little preview of what to expect there... :^)

My bread & butter ...

Quick little board for a story in mind...a common shot, but I still enjoy it.



Snatch

Always thought of this one...quick photoshop sketch.  Just spent about an hour on this.

Blah!

Faces

Some random photoshop sketches of characters in my mind...more to come!  I'm having fun just drawing like this again.

Warm up...

This little spitfire is for a project I'm working on with a friend...

The News Funnel

Such a great project...Linda did an amazing job animating that dog.  This time around our new script writer Alex Hendler whipped up a great little story for us to tell, and I'm super excited to share it with you all.

Some storyboard & illustration work!

Inside Track

Definitely one of our favorites we've worked on this year...the usual team knocked this out of the park: Jen Zug on writing/creative director, Linda Spain animating, and myself illustrating and storyboarding.  This was a great chance to play with color in a "side-scroller" animation.  Wish the hot-air balloon survived the drafts though!  :)

Pinch Zoom

A little illustration project (with help from my wife) I did for friends at Pinch Zoom.

It's all about mobile!

Concepts...

I have an epic story in mind...something I've been thinking about for a few years now.  Not sure if it will translate into a graphic novel, comic book, animation pitch, etc., but in any case I do hope to push it further this year.

These are rough silhouettes of characters/people in the world.  Nothing is set in stone yet.

Untitled

Just a quick sketch...

New Ideas!

Gonna be brainstorming a new site/blog (Yas you're helping me), new projects, and new ventures in the very near future!  Wish me luck!

Time to Think!

Tenka

Concept boards and a few storyboards; though production didn't quite execute how I would have liked, I think the style and design are still fun.

 

uSamp!

Another great project I illustrated, storyboarded, and helped direct with Lilach Tfilin as animator and Jen Zug writing...very fun approach and a unique style.  The clients were great to work with, and this has quickly become one of favorites!

BroadCause

Our client Experience came to us with the BroadCause project and a very open mind to creating this one minute animation; they always gave excellent feedback and were hand in hand with us during the production.  This was the first of many projects to come working with Linda Spain, a superb animator in every way.  She really brought this to life and added lots of subtle animations to make it special.  Jen Zug doing the spot on writing as usual, and myself in the usual "art director" role as illustrator and storyboard artist.

Excerpt from our style guide sheets I drafted

WiziApp

This lovely gem of a project was one of my most enjoyable yet!  The client was located in Israel, and they were a real great crew to bounce ideas and get feedback from.  Our animator we worked with on this was also (coincidentally) located in Israel; her name is Lilach Tfilin, and was one of the most easy, talented, and creative animators I've worked with.  She helped create our vision in the script/storyboard into a real clean and professional piece.  As always, our creative director Jen Zug wrote this!

Here are some early conceptual designs of our "chap"; my wife Yas even helped on sketching some out!  :)
