Nike baseball commercials

I did this animation for a series of Nike Japanese spots a number of years ago for Natterjack Animation Studios. It hasn't improved my game or my Japanese any.

Poker Dogs

Sometimes you have to give the people what they want.

Nick Blob in 3D

Sorry - it's a bit blurry. This was done for International Rocketship for a 3D show for Nickelodeon, (you'll need your 3D glasses for the full effect, kids). It also came in handy for inbetweening assignments. I did the designs, story & animation in the middle. The late, great Paul Boyd did the animation for the beginning & end.

testing 1, 2, 5...

Time to try the video function. I figured out how to shoot pencil tests on my lap-top by shooting with the built in web-cam and editing in After Effects, (do I sound like a geek or what), so now I can shoot line tests while on the top of Mount Rushmore, (if I so desire). This is a cycle from the Sesame Street bit that I posted designs of earlier. This one isn't at colourful, but it moves more. There's always a trade-off.

Here it is in color, but now it's blurry and there's no sound. Why can't I get it right?

Summer caricatures

Summer caricaturing events are finally done, (above is a typically requested kind of pose). There were lots of them, even though I was promised a nasty recession. Now it's time to pull on the cardigan, sit by the fire & think autumny thoughts.

sketchbook stuff

I've been advised that I should post something or 'face the consequences',.. so I feverishly ran for my sketchbook & found these. They're artists hard at work from the 'Golden Age of Animation', (roughly half a year ago). The artform has noticably deteriorated since then.

'carry-catcher'

This is a caricature of the writer 'P Soop', (notice the quill, clever huh?). There, now that I've blogged I'm going back outside to play - toodle-oo.
