news.

I'm currently storyboarding for the Mongrel movie. I'll update when I have more done.

Other than that, I've jumped on the digital bandwagon, here's a self portrait... more soon!

news.

Walter's Bright Idea is nearing completion. The final product will be placed on this blog as soon as it is finished.

In other news: my fourth year animation/live-action film tentatively titled "Acadian Waltz" is gaining a lot of momentum. I have a good feeling about this one.

"The Lovable Atomic Mongrel Makes a Friend" begins pre-production soon, updates sure to come with that one. Over the summer I will be doing a lot of storyboarding for both projects. It's an exciting time.

Progress

My animation work is coming along smoothly, in a few weeks my 30 second animation
"Walter's Bright Idea" will be finished.

Rough animation will be finished in 4 days.
Clean ups and finalize in 2 weeks.

Here are some samples from the development phase:

My necessary annual post.

There will soon be a complete change of focus to the Mongrelblog.

As my loyal reader may know, I am an animation student. It is a bit ironic that drawing all day keeps me from making my mongrel book. But there is change a-brewing.

From this day on, Mongrelblog will be a production blog detailing and updating my loyal public (both of you) on the progress of my animations.

The films are:

Walter's Bright Idea (ETA: May 2009)
The Lovable Atomic Mongrel Makes A Friend (ETA: May 2010)
Untitled Cajun Film (ETA: May 2011)

A few months ago I made this little ditty in under an hour. Enjoy:

Update

I have several new sketches, problem is I have no time to pencil, ink, digitize, vectorize and color them. When I get a chance, I will bring more.

Here's an old offline one.

Mongrel is alive!

There are a few more on the way, but they will be in the book, which has been revived, ETA February 2008.

December will bring plenty of time to work on this book, after that, it's just the easy part: getting it published
