Storyboards and Life

Storyboards for the next film are looking so good! And I did them all digitally!! Which....while not particularly impressive it's a big step for me in wrapping my brain around how to do digital art.

Lots of down shots. As far as life stuff goes, I was going to make a post about art and feelings and all the internal frowns that are going on, but you know, things are going pretty awesome. Not perfect, perfect will probably never be achieved. The point of perfect is to strive toward it, and in doing so get better and better all the time no matter how slow-going it might be. Let me tell you: it is excruciatingly slow going. All the time. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Swingy swing with griffins on the side

Trying to get back into updating once a week again. It got pretty bad here for a bit, with only occasional updates...

My boss has asked me to design a kids menu! I cannot even begin to describe how excited I am about this!! When he told me I just wanted to screech, but I didn't because I work in a quiet place and I'm supposed to be sophisticated there. Nevertheless! Look forward to some coloring pages soon. I'll want to see colored submissions from everyone. This will be a menu for our Ship Tavern featuring a young girl griffin named 'Elly' and she will be searching for treasure, that's what griffins love to do. Search it and then guard it.

Dean COMMAND: the puppet

I finished my Dean COMMAND puppet recently for the lovely Rosemary Travale. Check her out over here: http://www.rosemarytravale.ca/
It brought back so many wonderful memories of working on Thistle and making puppets.

In fact my plan is to make a whole bunch of differing naked Thistles, take them on my trip, and post pictures of them whilst I travel. It's gonna be amazing. Oh! Also! That pattern with the poisonous vials behind Dean was bought at my favorite crafts store, Fancy Tiger Crafts, so if you're ever in the Denver are you gotta go check 'em out and buy something too!
