cREATur trailer DVD

okay so i was supposed to be learning flash this weekend but the revised trailer arrived on friday. my bud Rich B. has been re-editing and we added a sort of 'making of', with still photography and the digital footage. when it arrived i went straight to work on the cover art and inside sleeve. this DVD was made for sponsorship purposes ans we crammed most of our information in the DVD. Still Photography is mandatory when submitting film. its pretty amazing what a bunch of amateurs can do when we put our noggins together.

random art

ahh, drawing women. my favorite. getting my drawing hand back into the flow usually starts with about a hundred really rough anatomy sketches. when i feel like im almost warmed up i gotta draw something, usually its women. other than the obvious, as we know women are just harder to draw.

the thought behind these were actually for oil painting. yet another thing on the backburner. But im still thinking of it and mentally ramping up to do it. ive never handled my 'comic' style art as paintings, so i think by the time i actually do it it may take on a totally different look into itself. eh, we'll see i guess.

Diabolical Gadgetz

this is a story that was put in the backburner. not quite sure waht to do with it but it was written with cartoon in mind. it looks space age but its really just about some inventive kids who can make anything from anything to do battle with a 'grown up' mad scientist. maybe one day i'll something with it, but for now i gave one character some 3D lovin' in Maya. scroll down to see it in the Maya stuff.

from West of Heaven to cREAtur

well, i cant stop drawing these chunky graffiti people. alot of these are characters from the 'West of Heaven' comic short i did a while ago. the cool thing is that these sketches will be added into the 'creatur' movie project, since the story revolves around an artist. the first sketch below was made specifically for the creatur film. the characters and the car on the side, mimic there on screen counterparts.

tHE cREAtuR film

The film is progressively moving forward. The rough trailer that was shown, is being re-edited and fine tuned as i write this. This project is my main focus right now has been in the works since 2003. i think its my longest project i ever dedicated my self to (so far). and we still have alot of shit to do before anyone can pop it into there DVD player and just watch it.

Re-Shooting starts in Decenber of 2006 for a scheduled 14 days shoot. I'll be there for 21 days to make sure everything gets covered and so we can shoot at a more relaxing schedule. last year we shot aggresively - every day - for 60 days. But we finished 75% of the film. I hope we finish principle photography this year 'coz filming this thing is a bitch!



----- another cold day of filming. digital footage from 'cREaTur'-----

Moving along...

well, i think ive finally figured out how to post images. i created this blog after seeing Norms (itoons / snaptoplay) Dwyer blogs. what a great idea. post some current projects is a good way to share my stuff with the guys back home (Chicago). But more importantly, a good way to remind myself - to get off my ass and do my thing.

the Maya days begin!

i finally got a good grasp of Maya. i called in one day from work and spent the day doing tutorials, and it clicked.

cant stop

going back into drawing-this is a test blog
