Jimmy Two Shoes Storyboard

About a year ago, an opportunity opened up for an interstial storyboard on Jimmy (Thanks, Sean Scott!). It had been awhile since I had done a board so I took a shot at it. We had a lot of great board guys on Jimmy so it was an intimidating task. Looking back at it now, I see tons of mistakes and ugly sterile drawings , but it was still fun to do at the time....and it sparked my interest in boarding again. Anyways, hope you guys find something funny to laugh at in there.

Leftovers...

Cleaning out the hard drive tonight and came across these random old images from various defunct development projects, freelance gigs, and other weird experiments. Some are fun...some are lame...some are completely hideous. Glad they can find a home here!

Ricky Gervais Show: Season 02

For those of you privileged few with HBO, the second season of the Ricky Gervais show began airing two weeks ago. I was fortunate enough to be invited back again this season, and it was a total blast working under the tutelage of design superstar, Bryan Arnett. Here's a few of my small scenes from episode 03, which airs this coming friday, the 28th. Hope you guys check out the show!

More Jimmy Two Shoes stuffs...

Dear internet,

The first few episodes of the second season of Jimmy Two Shoes have aired on Teletoon now, so I figured it's safe to start sharing some of the work I've done in the last year. Most of these designs are pretty random, so hopefully you guys still enjoy them :)

First up, the giant Lava Beast from Spring Broke:

Disney liked his design, so we got to use him in one of the promotional images for the show.


Some townsfolk from the zombie episode where everyone is turned into killer Pickles...


Various giant Pickle Zombies...




Voltron Jimmy Robot! He's only in there for a brief moment in Spring Broke, but it would have been fun to have a full episode about him. Maybe in season three, Ackland ;)


Paintball Bunny Mob. I couldn't wait to see how the animators would make this thing move.


The fun way to do crowd scenes...
The less fun (but cost effective) way to do crowd scenes...

Stylized dream Sequence...I was initally trying for something Kirby-esque but don't think I quite pulled it off.

Jimmy tearing it up as his superhero alter ego, Power Squid...

Unused Super villians....

This was fun. I got to do some Bruce Banner-ish hulk out closeups with Samy. Thanks, Jeff Barker!

Heloise hulking out...

Lucius remembering why he doesnt like to fly...

Lucius Meat mitts...


And a cabbie. I don't know why I saved him for last, but yea, I guess I kinda liked him enough to post.


Tons more stuff to come, as new episodes air every Thursday night on Teletoon! If you'd like to see more work from the show, swing by to check out my amigo, Darren Ward's blog ,to see some of his prop magic!

Kids and cartoons...

Hey folks! Sorry about the long break in posting. Things have been pretty busy around the Lambey household the last few months. My wife and I just had our little baby boy, Cohen. He's completely amazing and eats up every spare minute I have. We're really digging our time together.


On the work side of things, we getting closer to wrapping up design on the second season of Jimmy Two Shoes. Lots of great stuff coming your way in the fall. Although I'm not able to post any of the final designs till the show airs, here's one of the recent titlecards and a few odd rejected/unused/cut designs. Hope you guys like em!

What the Be-geeze? I won an EMMY!

Can canadians even win one of those?? Apparently so.....I found out yesterday that I've won an Emmy for character design on Nickelodeon's Fanboy and Chum Chum. A huge congrats to my design amigo, Caesar Martinez who also won for his fantastic background design on the show.

Although these are individual awards, the win is really for everyone on the show and definitely a testament to it's quality. I'd definitely like to thank show creator, Eric Robles for taking a chance on the canuck. Fanboy was my first 3d show, and still Eric was trusting enough to let me stumble around, experiment, and take lots of creative chances in the world he created. Being a badass designer himself, I know it had to have been hard to let someone play around with your favorite toys in the backyard. My hats of to you, sir!!

Here's some designs from the submitted episode. Hope you guys dig it!
