Our house... in the not middle of the street

yes, yes come on down to our crappy little apartment at the ass-end of Treasure Island...
and while the building might give you some type of cancer... we'll just give laughs and good times...
this is the realization of some animations that my roommates and I plan on doing of no less than

ourselves... these character models are line-tooled and properly rigged in Flash, all that's left for me is to finish the complete turns for each character, mouth-shapes and some more arm and leg shapes... other than that small tiny, infinitesimal detail, they're done! :D heheh this'll take a while.

I draw my roommates and myself too much...

So I watched some awesome cartoons the other day and it got me all inspired. I decided to make my roommates and myself into characters... the next step is to line-tool and rig this stuff in Flash... maybe even animate it?

WHILAKERS!

well what do we have here? I uploaded again.... whilakers!
Here is the other part of my shoulder angel project... the gentle coffee-drinkin' pancake-eatin' larch-choppin' lumberjack... the canuk to be exact.... since a great deal of my heritage is Canadian... and that the people of that lovely country to the north are so much calmer and, for want of a better description, better behaved than us Uhmericans... I think it's highly fitting that the sweeter side
of my conscience
hails from good ol' Canada, eh?

HOLY FREAKN' BALLS!

I've posted again! hell I've done art again! hopefully after a very long artist's block I've returned to the projects and such that I stopped working on oh so very long ago. This is my shoulder devil... my parisian side with the wine, coffee and snobby disposition... an arrogant piece of shit who thinks that the innumerable stereotypes and jokes against his people are something to be proud of. More will come soon!

So I've been working some freelance at night lately, got me up super late... couple that with my 8 hour day job and you get le fatigue, and the other day... boy let me tell you ... I was in pretty rough shape. So, what was my bandaid solution? To imbibe as much caffeine as humanly possible? Yes... er-- well... given the circumstances, of course. Now mind you, I've come a long way since my days of double-fisting a rockstar and a coffee... with a red bull chaser... we don't want to relive those days... so for something with the same kick and no panic attack... I plodded down to the local starbucks and ordered a grande, quad-shot cinnamon cinniamon dolce latte, I guess I should have thought about that before I drank it, maybe about oh, I dunno 10 minutes of all that controlled substance coursing through my bloodstream, my heart began heaving and throbbing within my viscera... the fucker wanted out! and while I bathed in a sweat not unlike being in the shower when the toilet in the floor above you gets flushed and scalding and icy water become betwixt and between... my cube-mate and I discussed what it would be like should my heart actually defenestrate itself from my thoracic cavity... luckily my caffeinated heart attack subsided soon enough to allow me to bring that story to the wacom... eventually I'll paint this one too...

Frogs on my shoulders.

These are the line drawings for my shoulder angels, essentially the story is this, my roommates and I decided to draw our consciences as little angels and little devils reflecting ourselves and focusing strongly on our ethnicities. my result in that I am mostly French and Canadian... well... just look at the pictures.

1.2 Gigawatts!!1

So I've been working on bringing my car from my parent's house in Arizona. I've also been abstractly toying with the idea of transforming my car into something that would utilize an alternative energy source... well I've been thinking about it so much I actually had a dream about it... I dreamt that my Treasure Island Roommates and I rigged up my '90 Honda Civic with the electric rabbit ears from a Muni Bus... and many shenanigans thus, ensued. So I decided to illustrate it. This is the sketch for what will eventually become a Digital Painting... stay tuned.

Goodbye Pascal...

aaaaand we're back! I'm drawing again, this is a piece I did for an artist I was so fortunate enough to work with at Leapfrog as a farewell gift. and I if you don't get it, watch the guy's "Boss Animations" Pascal Campion. Enjoy!
