This is a design for a paper mola. I'm going to have my friend help make a few using die-cut paper. It's about separation and reunion with God. The fetuses, representing Adam and Jesus, are a reoccurring image in my prints and a painting as well.

Working on pre-production of a feature length animation with my friend and favorite illustrator Matthew J Blair. Some creative software for use with motion controls. Children's songs. Another music video. A few puppets. Time is a curse I'll be happy to be free of one day. All to God through Jesus. Peace.

2010-08-28T16:59:00.000-07:00

Done filming.

2010-08-27T21:42:00.000-07:00

We finished filming! Thanks to everyone who volunteered. Bending over a set for hours with hot lights beaming down on you while you try to make a faceless puppet look sad is hard work! One more week! One More week!

After the video's done we may go Godzilla on the city market set!

Sneak Prev

2010-05-12T15:05:00.000-07:00

Here's a clip from the video. This 2d sequence is sandwiched between the live action stuff. I put the storyboards in there for context. Our protagonist comes across some strange spirit beings in an alley and they explain how they came to be there. (it's freshly uploaded so you might have to wait a bit for youtube to finish processing it.)

Test-a-test. No Rest.

2010-04-09T14:09:00.000-07:00

I just uploaded this so it my take a few hours for youtube to process it. This is an early lighting test we did last month.

conceptual art from CRICKETS

2009-11-19T18:38:00.000-08:00

These are from my first video crickets. If you ever want to make some cool mini black-light art try picking up some pastel gel pens, some flat black paper and going crazy. Peacels!
