New Reel

Okay, it's time to go get an internship. I just spent 6 hours working on my packets to send out to the studios. It's 5 am, and I have a plane (and a bus, and a train) to catch tomorrow. I hope all this pays off with a summer internship in California--that would be great...

Here's my new reel, in all its pixelated, web-ravaged glory! If you're a potential employer, and you'd like a full quality demo, just send me an email: jesterskull59 [at] yahoo [dot] com.



This is where I'll be sending potential employers, so everything on this site is has to be 2% more professional from now on :)

Going to bed now. Will pack in the morning. School starts Monday, argh...

Night,

Finals Week!

Well hello there!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I've got plenty of new work from Drawing II--just not enough time to photograph it. It's finals week, friends. Fortunately, I did grab a quick snapshot of my application to next quarter's Graphic Novel class:



This is the same Graphic Novel class that produced the novel "Shake Girl" in 2008. It got published and everything. Their application process is pretty nifty. Basically you write your name, student info, and a paragraph expressing your reasons for applying on one side of a piece of paper. On the other side you write or draw something creative--whatever you want!

I hope I get in. Who knew they had such neat art classes around here?

Mammoth!

Hello friends. It's time for more art! I'm in a drawing class this quarter in which we have a new project due each week. It's nice to have a steady deadline to work with, because it means that I get things finished rather than just mulling over them forever.

A couple of my favorite projects below:

"Hour by Hour" - Paper shopping bag, book page, permanent marker.



"Summer 2006" - Brown paper and marker.



"Hoff" - Inspired by Night Rider and IKEA assembly manuals. Brown paper and marker.



Next project will be on toilet paper. Not even kidding.


Have a great week!

Come on. It's not that hard.

Making the world a better place, one poster at a time.




By the way, the unicorns aren't mine. They're from ChildStoryHour.com, an online coloring book page resource.


Happy February!

Timothy Trailer!

Hey, here's the trailer for "Timothy and the Great Robotic Invaders from Outer Space!" Gosh, I haven't seen this in ages. This was the first project that I had to get a writer and voice actors for. It was such a blast to animate--especially since I was such a 50's sci-fi nerd at the time (and kind of still am).



By unlucky coincidence, Disney's "Meet the Robinsons" came out the same year as Timothy did. See below to witness the tragedy. Haha, oh well.






Okay. Time for bed. Bye for now!

Old designs from way back...

Hey, it's a new year already! January will be gone before we know it. That means spring is coming--it's almost time to start hunting for a summer job. So you'll be seeing a lot of old portfolio stuff as I rummage through old art and find new stuff to add. Check it out :D

Here's some of the graphic design stuff I worked on last year.



Another poster for the same group. This one modeled after an advertisement for the old film "Soul Patrol." It didn't get used--I mean Soul Patrol was a blaxploitation film, so I kind of see why. Regardless, I thought it was pretty hilarious :D



Some animation stuff:

These are storyboard frames from a shortfilm I animated/directed--"Timothy and The Great Invaders from Outer Space." It's on IMDB! I was glad to see that.



Concepts for the tripods in "Timothy":



And some concepts for a 50's style horror short I wanted to do once--then gave up on. Nobody can get away with making vampire stuff now, haha



And a monkey in a cherry tree. This is from back in '07, when I was applying to art schools. Time flies!



So yes, lots of old stuff. Now it's time to start scanning new stuff. I'll post some of that soon--when I can find a free scanner :)


Happy new year, folks.

Viennese Ball Logo Contest!

Hey, it's winter break! That means tons of free time, and lots of frivolous ideas floating around to play with. Here are some random designs I cranked out for a logo contest that was recently announced back in California. The event is a classy Viennese Ball with waltzing, and tuxes, and the works. The winner of the logo contest gets free tix. Since "classy" means tickets cost about $85 bucks a person, I thought entering might be fun. What the heck, right?





And of course, if anyone's actually reading this blog, Merry Christmas!
