The annual Purrcasso Art show

It's that time of the year again when I do a painting for the Purrcasso Art & Craft benefit for the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society in California. This year I did a painting from the "Cat and mouse" series. The show will showcase lots of great artists from Canada and the United states. You can check out the artists and their work at the Purrcasso blog The great thing about this painting, I got to use my new intuos 4 Wacom tablet. All that I can say is that I love it!! It makes digital painting way easier and fun. One of the photos has my cat in it. I thought it was cute that she was interested in the painting.

Storyboards

Here are some storyboards to the film I am working on. They are just random boards from the film, therefore they are not in any particular order. I just finished the my second animatic. I have still lots of tweaks and changes to the film before I start actual production but the film is coming along. I have lots of other projects I have to work on so I may have to put the film on hold for a couple of weeks. However I will have some more posts in the near future.

Simon's Cat Contest.

A couple of weeks ago, Blake and I entered a contest that was held by Simon Tofield who created the animated shorts "Simon's cat". Basically they wanted to see a photo of Simon's cat in different places. Sadly though we didn't win but that's o.k, we had lots of fun doing the photos. You can still see our two photos on the website gallery. For those who don't know Simon's cat, please check them out.

Photography from Kansas

Photography has become more of a hobby of mine. These photos were taken in South West Kansas.

Sketch Painting

Sorry, it has been a long time since I posted. I have been really busy with other things. Here's a sketch I did in Photoshop.

"Do it yourself MUNNY"

Before Christmas, I attempted my first "Do it yourself MUNNY" from Kidrobot (Christmas Ornament version). I created a dog in a bear suit. I used clay and acrylic paints.
