Spread #4 (contains a rather perturbed cat)

Page 1: Failed attempts at drawing my sister, Clive from my web comic in the corner being English and footless.
Page 2: My design for our next animation project (cat waggin' its tail), Ecrus from my web comic, Leporello from Mozart's "Don Giovanni" explaining to one of his master's ex-lovers that she really wasn't all that special, and Papageno from Mozart's "Die Zauberfloete" ("The Magic Flute") with his own personal "Fuck you" towards die Eingeweiten.

Girls at my sister's birthday party, my brother with a nerf gun, my mom's friend Russ making the evil eye, my mom (who somehow always gets stuck babysitting other people's dogs), and stupid pigeons. And a cat. My cat. He kept moving.

A mash-up of Akira:

This needs to be viewed full screen.
This is a short video of a mash-up of scenes from Akira, a crazy Japanese animated film (1988). LOOK AT THE BACKGROUNDS!!! SO MUCH DETAIL!!! Anyway, it's disturbingly awesome and it will stay with you a long time, this film. Also, the soundtrack is kickass.
WATCH IN FULL SCREEN.

I drew some of my friends this weekend. One was sleep-talking.

"Sketchbook" Quotes:

"No one else in the universe would have drawn it quite like you." (pg. 15)

"Mountains stand erect, lean, lie down, sprawl, and spill out onto valleys in alluvial forms. Trees loom, twist in agonized or humorous gestures; they stand erect, stretch, lean; some are tired, some perky, some bear fruit or flower, which in itself is a gesture...Vehicles have gestures of their own. Some cars seem to slink along, some move proudly. Some are raised way up on springs - look like they're holding up their skirts so they can cross a stream...They're as different from each other as a farmer is from an office worker; or a military man is from a hobo. Don't sketch...as if you were doing a Ford ad - go for their personalities, their gesture." (pg. 17-18)

Spread #1

From one of my sketchbooks; the first page is of a character I had in a novel series I was writing, which failed, so I then placed him into my web comic "HMS Crock Doctor" as the villain. Second page I had my friend pose for me in all the poses except the one with the naked man and the bowl. Based on her poses I developed characters that fit the body language. That's why the male jester has child-bearing hips.

An excerpt from Pink Floyd's "The Wall":

As the assignment was to post an animated sequence we particularly liked, I was tempted to post either the final fight scene from Bones Studio's Sword of the Stranger (2007) or "Hellfire" from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), but nothing was as jaw-dropping to me as when I saw the last part of the "Empty Spaces" animated sequence in The Wall (1982).

Holy shit. When the face stretches and breaks out in disease, and the abstract figure of a woman morphs from that and then everything starts morphing and...wow. What especially blew me away was the amount of detail in every frame. Every line is exactly where it should be.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS.
