2011-04-25T11:01:00.005-06:00

In-class caricature demos I did for my character design class at the Art Institute. (using photo references-maybe next semester I can get a giraffe, alligator and an old man from Korea to sit for us)

2011-03-25T13:14:00.004-06:00

These people have been following me around just waiting to get scanned in.

I'm busy...He's not

2011-03-24T12:40:00.003-06:00

Meetings are important. Things can be accomplished. This sketch is an example of successfully attending a meeting and accomplishing something.

2010-09-23T13:35:00.002-06:00

What do you call a Mule with Two Heads but No Body?

2010-09-23T13:32:00.001-06:00

oodles of doodles.

2010-03-22T12:43:00.001-06:00

Old guys, mustaches and glasses.

2010-02-19T13:26:00.001-07:00

Little doodles all living together in complacency and boredom...except that guy with the headband.

Animated half of this on the way to work this morning...not driving. Finished it up while eating lunch.

Nigel Style

2009-08-31T16:15:00.003-06:00

I work with Nigel now. I have been missin out. Fantastic animator, great artist, and a stare that would light a pile of leaves on fire.

Carlos Fins

2009-07-10T10:08:00.003-06:00

See Carlos in a meeting.
See Carlos in a meeting paying attention.
See Carlos not paying attention to Nathan in a meeting.

Dave

2009-04-05T15:50:00.003-06:00

This is Dave. Dave and I own the same shirt. Whenever one of us wears it to work we check to see if the other has his on. In 3 years, it has happened once.

Cupid's Carbon Arrow

2009-02-22T21:57:00.003-07:00

Ah, the arrow of love. I love bow hunting -just like Cupid.

more silly

2009-02-03T23:06:00.002-07:00

The Toon Club topic this week was "dalmatians".

Where were these?

2009-02-02T09:59:00.001-07:00

I just found these in an old folder on my computer. I suppose if I still like them 2 years after drawing them, then they're good enough to put up, eh?

Animation

2008-10-30T10:58:00.003-06:00

This is part of one of the cinematics I animated for the Meet The Robinsons video game a couple years ago.

Henry Eyring

2008-10-23T16:41:00.001-06:00

Seemed like a good theme to keep going...

Thomas Monson

2008-10-09T14:00:00.003-06:00

I'm not sure if he has checked out my blog yet...but now he's got a reason.

Actor

Rubbed Out

2008-08-21T10:04:00.003-06:00

At the height of his villainous career, Xiang pi ca Tou Ren (Eraser Head Man) feared no one...sadly for him, every eraser wears down with time and use -leaving a pencil ninja no room for error.

(Toon Club's topic was Unnecessary Super Villains)

Hey, remember pencils?

2008-07-30T09:48:00.007-06:00

I was digging through some old folders and found a few 2D animations I did back in school. (no sound for any of them)

Weird and Silly as it is...

2008-07-28T12:36:00.003-06:00

I have been ins-A-A-A-A-nly busy for the last several months, but since I carpool with a few guys I can usually draw while in the car. I love the endless traffic jam of reference every day.

Jug Band

2008-07-24T20:33:00.003-06:00

There were several other members of the band when this drawing started. During the intermission, the leopard ate them all.

Batman

2008-07-24T20:31:00.001-06:00

This was my take on the Batman theme at Toonclub.

Tiger

2008-07-24T20:29:00.003-06:00

Cartoon Mouse

2008-05-01T13:35:00.001-06:00

I couldn't decide if I was more intrigued that cartoons can walk in place, or that they could be unaware that its happening...Which now makes me wonder if I've ever done that and just not realized.

Respect our Elders

2008-04-07T10:32:00.006-06:00

Weekend drawing exercise: Combine over 100 wise, inspirational, and well-dressed old men into one person.

Happy Valentines Day Lover

2008-02-14T10:30:00.005-07:00

Two Valentine Cards for the love of my life...who, like the two character above is also not a myth, though I did cast a magical spell over her to convince her to marry me.

Buck Cluck meets The Tick

2008-02-11T10:53:00.000-07:00

Just found this one I did several years ago for fun when working on the Chicken Little Video Game. (and those green and black jibblies at the beginning are just some sweet special effects that I added for a more magical feeling)

Groundhog...of course

2008-01-30T13:51:00.000-07:00

In honor of the upcoming holiday- in conjunction with my need to be silly for no reason.

Jump Practice

2008-01-25T14:25:00.000-07:00

A fun test that will never be finished. I lost the maya file after saving this playblast. Moving on.

Koala Bear

2008-01-24T23:23:00.001-07:00

Nearly went extinct. Goes to show what a college education can do for a species.

Water Buffalo

Dentist

2008-01-16T13:51:00.001-07:00

A recent commissioned piece I did for a dentist's office.

Snow Cone

2008-01-08T12:59:00.000-07:00

After December is over I am ready for winter to be over. However, this little man in a cone can visit me anytime.

Yoda Claus

2007-12-11T13:32:00.001-07:00

He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good...Hello? of course he does -he's using the force.

Christmas Elf

2007-12-03T16:54:00.000-07:00

...and something very clever on that piece of paper.

Thanksgiving Turkey

2007-11-13T13:39:00.000-07:00

Adult life should include art projects for every holiday and kickball during recess every day.

My buddy Mel Milton.

UnderWere...Wolf

2007-10-25T09:21:00.001-06:00

Keeping with the Halloween theme, here is my version of the werewolf.

Frankenstein as a Child

2007-10-25T09:17:00.002-06:00

With the topic of Frankenstein I initially thought of drawing him as a kid...then I remembered he never was.

My friend writes books

2007-10-18T09:47:00.001-06:00

Have you ever turned an Orson Scott Card short story into a novel? Aaron did. "Invasive Procedures" just came out. Very cool book -I just finished it. Intense.

This is a caricature I did of my best buddy Aaron Johnston a couple years ago for a birthday present.

She sure likes the goodies

2007-10-12T12:35:00.000-06:00

Halloween. Hooray for gluttony and a 3 year old who will go door to door collecting wonderful treats for her parents.

Busted

2007-10-08T16:09:00.001-06:00

This was my first time getting caught drawing someone on the highway. I can only imagine she would be pleased with the end result.

Rockingham

2007-10-05T00:03:00.002-06:00

Two characters I did for the RC PMP FY06-07 for Rockingham County, North Carolina.

I say monster, you say munster

2007-09-25T16:27:00.000-06:00

I know, I rarely draw monsters...again. These were funnier looking than the last batch so they deserved some color.

Mulicorn

2007-09-21T15:45:00.000-06:00

Dear Rusty,

Son, there is something I need to tell you. You never knew your father and don’t even know what he looks like. I have enclosed a photograph of me and him from before you were born. I know he wanted to be there for you but just couldn’t…some day you’ll understand. Years ago he did ask me to tell you one thing. He said, “Son, sorry you only got the 63 chromosomes…you’ll never be able to reproduce and pretty much the family line stops with you. -Dad”

Call me sometime,

Love Mom.

(The Toonclub topic was "The Last Unicorn")

...

A quick biology lesson just in case:
A mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse, which is classified as a kind of F1 Hybrid. Mules are almost always sterile. The sterility is attributed to the differing number of chromosomes of the two species: donkeys have 62 chromosomes, whereas horses have 64. Their offspring thus have 63 chromosomes which cannot evenly divide.

Truckers

More Animation Practice

2007-09-04T14:41:00.000-06:00

Listening to this sound clip 5,000 times in slow motion only made me want to watch Napoleon Dynamite more.

Animation Practice

2007-09-04T14:33:00.000-06:00

This was an animation test I did while I was making my yard and the game for Meet The Robinsons.

La senorita bonita.

He always seemed like such a nice boy too...

2007-08-22T13:56:00.000-06:00

Isn't it great that when a Killer Whale is eating a seal, he has the same facial expression as when he sticks his head out of the water at SeaWorld to kiss those people on vacation?

Burl Ives

2007-08-20T09:37:00.001-06:00

One big happy man with a nice voice.

-Never finished this one, but he already had to wait 40 years and still didn't get to the Promised Land.

2007-07-25T13:40:00.000-06:00

more doodles that survived the daily trash run.

Here's the long and short of it...

2007-07-25T13:36:00.000-06:00

This was one of those inside jokes that didn't actually have a joke.

Shane Lewis is amazing.

Simple Fish, AMAZING bubbles

2007-07-25T13:33:00.000-06:00

2007-07-25T13:26:00.001-06:00

This was my take on the Toon Club topic: Neverending Story

Theodore Geisel.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

2007-07-25T13:23:00.000-06:00

Well, here's your problem...

2007-07-25T13:21:00.002-06:00

Reference comes in the most interesting places. I'm sure he won't mind.

Always Pass on the Left

2007-05-10T13:20:00.001-06:00

The commute doesn't get any shorter...and there is no shortage of interesting along the way.

I keep driving by

2007-04-23T16:33:00.001-06:00

another round of "in the other car"

King of the Family Room

2007-04-23T15:16:00.000-06:00

Cats can hold a pose for their portraits forever...especially the ones in photographs.

sketchy sketchies

2007-04-20T14:03:00.000-06:00

I typically don't draw monsters...and I will continue to typically not draw monsters.

Bad Ants

2007-04-20T13:54:00.001-06:00

Concept art I got to do for Disney's "Meet the Robinsons" video game.

(Image actually copyrighted by the Walt Disney Company)

The commuter view

2007-04-20T10:25:00.001-06:00

I like to draw people while riding to and from work. None of these particular sketches were drawn while I was actually driving...this time.

Scouting gumdrop and boredom

2007-04-20T10:22:00.001-06:00

I keep throwing my sketches away. These two crawled back out of the trash can.

Run moose, run.

2007-04-12T13:38:00.000-06:00

Inspired by a true story. Not mine.

What was his name...

2007-04-12T11:52:00.000-06:00

He's big. He's a bird.
