TMNT LGB

Cool! Amazon just posted up the cover for the Ninja Turtles Golden Book I've been working on. Guess that means it's ok for me to post it now. The cover went through a few variations before being finalized. Version 01 was a weekend test to see how the Turtles would look as a Golden Book. Looks a little funky now, but luckily it was enough for it to be greenlit as a book. 



Version 02 was where I was asked to bring the look in closer to the show.


Version 03 was tweaks. Mostly color and bg, plus some expression change requests.
 

I just finished the interior ruffs for the book, so once that's approved, onto the fun part of color and cleanup. Hopefully you guys will dig it!

Rejected cover for a Ninja Turtles Golden book. On the upside, I got the book....just not in this style.

Life with Cohen

I started making a comic strip about our little guy, Cohen. These are dumb little stories (all true) that are funny to both Sue and I. Not sure if people without kids will find them as entertaining, but I'm having a ton of fun drawing them.

Fanboy and ChumChum books...

Out today on Amazon. Many thanks to FB & CC show creator, Eric Robles and the folks at Simon and Shuster for giving me a crack at my first kids book. Weighing in at 50+ images per volume, these books burnt a lot of midnight oil but were a complete joy to work on. I hope those who decide to pick them up, enjoy them as much as I did :)

Tumblr

People are telling that the blog world is dead, and that Tumblr is the cool kid on the block. I dont believe them....but just to stay hip with the new generation, I created one anyway. Click the image, and you'll be wisked away to tumblr-verse.


To keep things interesting, I wouldnt' be posting the same things over there as I do here, so hopefully you guys will swing by from time to time. Cheers!

Kick and Fish Hooks Poses...

One of the perks of working at Mercury , is that when there's a break in development, I get to float between posing on either Kick Buttowski or Fish Hooks. There's some major talent storyboarding on these shows, so working from their boards is nothing but pure joy. Here's a few from the last couple of months.

Fanboy Titlecards...

Various titlecards from second season of Fanboy & ChumChum. The concepts for these are roughed out by superstar artists, Eddie Trigueros and Eric Robles. All I had to do was dust 'em with color.




















I also recently worked on two Fanboy and ChunChum books for Simon & Shuster (Many thanks to Mr.Robles for throwing them my way). For those interested, they should be available for purchase on Amazon in late February. Here's the cover from the second book. When the date gets closer, I'll post up a couple of images from the interiors. Cheers!

Kung Fu Panda: Scorpion

A sneak peek of Nick's "Kung Fu Panda and the Legend of Awesomeness" aired a few weeks ago and I hear Scorpion was the featured character, so I'm thinking it's ok now to post up a few of her designs.

Awhile back, I was fortunate enough to do some freelance design on KFP. The assignment was to design two of the characters that were part of the evil version of the Furious Five. As everyone knows, Nico Marlett is a master designer, and an incredibly tough act to follow, so although I was pretty excited and honored to be able to help out, it was a daunting task. The first character we tackled was Scorpion. Here are some of the designs I submitted.




A few head explorations. She was supposed to be a duplicitous deceptive character, so the idea of multiple eyes was played around with.
In the end, I'm not sure if any of these got used for the final character in the show, but I had a great time playing around with her design. Once a few more of the episodes air, I'll post up some of the designs from the other character I got the chance to work on. Thanks for swinging by!

"A Night out at the Movies" Art Show

If you're in Ottawa this week for the animation festival, then swing by Oz Cafe on Thursday for the "Night Out at the Movies" art show. Lots of super fun pieces from some very talented artists!


Here's my piece for the show, inspired by one of my favorite westerns..."Django".



And finally, a little boring process for those curious enough to actually look. Thanks for dropping by!
