Ladybug Flash Animation

here's something me and my kids did for fun, sort of as a homeschooling thing, and also to help me learn how to do character animation in flash.
I've been meaning to animate something forEVER, but I was either too busy, or couldn't come up with something to animate.
so ...whew... here it is. Feels good to have broken the ice.

imo, my kids have the best cartoon voices. But I'm not biased or anything.

Illustration Friday - I Spy

Here are some images from the book series I have been illustrating for Scholastic. The whole series is a spy series, so I thought I'd post several images.


from spy book 9 - Spies surveying area. 3 of them are spies.


from spy book 8 - Spies playing some kind of game in the dark with night vision goggles.



from spy book 9 - spying on people over a magazine.

Nathan Petrelli

I did this for the Sugar Frosted Goodness art blog. It's Nathan Petrelli from Heroes. I am absolutely obsessed with that show.

Ward Kimball

I was digging through my old photos and I found this one of me meeting the late, great Ward Kimball. Since I worked at Disney Animation, famous and semi-famous people would come by for different reasons.
Ward was part of the "9 old men", the original nine guys that developed Disney Animation.
I had met Frank and Ollie, who are usually considered the big superstars of the nine, and that was cool, but Ward Kimball was by far my favorite. In addition the the classic Disney characters he brought to life, he did some of that crazy 50's modern super styly animation that I just LOVE.

my Jedi kids

I made these because I was trying to explain to my son about editing and fx.
I used Mirage and imovie.
fun.

Figure Drawing

From a figure drawing session I attended in Pittsburgh the other day, hosted by the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators, of which I am a member.


Man... I haven't done life drawing in forever.
