Make Some Art #18

I hope everyone had a Happy Turkey Day!  For this week's assignment (Thanksgiving themed) I went with the traditional hand print turkey.  Gobble gobble!

Make Some Art #15 & #16

 Here's the next 2 blog assignments:  First up:  Illustrate one of the other artists participating in the blog! I chose Amy Stadelmann!

And for the second:  Halloween!  I hope everyone had a spooky one!  The east coast certainly had a fun one this year...

Make Some Art #14

This week's word I chose was "field".  It's fall again, and I can't think of a happier place to be than in a pumpkin field!

Make Some Art #13

It's been too long again...but here's what I came up with this time around - I've been making these a lot lately - they taste lise Ice Cream Sundaes!  

This week's blog assignment was for the Arrested Development Contest "Win a Walk on Role": http://youregonnagetsomewalkons.com/!  I love the show, but I'm just BANANAS about that Banana Stand!  

Make Some Art #7

Well, I missed a couple weeks, but here is this Friday's blog piece!  The word I chose:  "Parade".  It's a produce parade!

Make Some Art #3, #4

A couple new illustrations from the group blog.  The words I chose: "Melody" & "Hypocrite".  http://wemakesomeart.tumblr.com/

Make Some Art #1

I just joined a group blog with a bunch of friends, where someone supplies 3 words every Friday, and everyone chooses one of those words and creates some artwork based on that.  Here's the link:  http://wemakesomeart.tumblr.com/

This weeks words:

1.  Glossy
2.  Suspicious
3.  Horizontal

I went with Horizontal.

Pets

Aren't pets great?  I think so.  So I illustrated some more of my LAMP lady friends, with their pets...or plants!

It's A Small World

At my last job, I worked with a lot of fabulous ladies from a lot of different places.  It inspired me to make my own little "Small World" illustration, based on one by one of the greatest illustrators of all time.  It was a pleasure, LAMP team!

Something Magical Happened...

...I finally got a Cintiq!  I'm hoping I'll be better at creating more design work in my free time now that I have one.  Here's my first creation:  a new character of myself - it was time for an update.

Last summer, I was fortunate enough to be a part of a pilot episode for an upcoming math show for PBS kids, called Peg + Cat, created by Jennifer Oxley and Billy Aronson!  It turned out great, so gorgeous and super funny - check out the full episode and play some fun games here!  http://pbskids.org/peg/#/video

Here are the sequences I animated!

Tobi!

My animation test for a series of shorts called, "Tobi!", seen on Treehouse Canada and Nickelodeon Australia.  Produced at Little Airplane Productions, I did clean up on a couple of the beautiful 4:00 episodes designed by Jennifer Oxley.

The Wonder Pets! In the Land of Oz Storyboards

Here is the storyboard sequence for the Strawman's introduction in "The Wonder Pets!  In the Land of OZ!" along with some sketches I made during animation.

I also had the privilege of animating the Strawman's sequence!  Here's the clip below, shown at studio tours for quite a while!
