A Christmas Treat

I present you with the 3 week final film for the first semester in the digital program at cap. It's brought to you by Mike Jones, Lillian Lai, Jess Hilliam, Josh Pan, Courtney Pearson and I. I had so much fun working on this with everyone, sort of a shame it's over. Now for a little break and then it's time to think about gradshow. Well...Merry Christmas Everyone and Happy End of a Decade!

3-Dizzle

Here the elvis from a few posts ago in 3d. Eventually he'll be coloured and cleaned up a little but I don't have to worry about that for a while. Don't mind the crappy render or the lack of colour.

Dig them Overalls!

Another unsuspecting customer of a local draw spot. I think some people are catching on. I'm not quite happy with the line quality of this one, I dunno how those pros do it but the show must go on.

He's still got it

This guy's a regular at my local draw spot. He's my new hero. Someday I will work up the courage to talk to him, I bet he has some things to say.

Business Time

Say goodbye to that slightly efeminate picture of me surfing among the clouds. I figured it was time for a change. I painted the business man on the cover of my fresh sketchbook and thought he could represent me on this blog.

Some Locals...

Some sketchbook drawrings of some folks kickin around my neighbourhood.

I have been inspired lately by a lot of work from Jason Kraft so if you notice some similarities that is why.

Ain't nothin but a hound dog...

A very late birthday gift, I hope she still likes it.

I have a bunch of drawings I want to post so I'll make an effort to get them up faster than two months. School is keeping me quite busy, but that's no excuse.

Oh and another thing. I wrote a review of my two years in the Animation program at cap for artschoolreivews.ca. I was asked to write it in May but I procrastinated all summer and finally finished it by the end of august. It was nice to reflect back on the two years so I don't know why I was putting it off. Anyway HERE is the review. Give it five stars.

That is all.

Coffee Time

Kids have enough energy already...maybe I'm just getting old.

Hurray for Stereotypes!

They make labeling things easier.

Blue Balloon Cafe

The Blue Balloon Café from Crapneto on Vimeo.

This video by Robjn Taylor is so awesome I have to share it. He has made a bunch more hilarious films which you can watch HERE.

That's it?

I don't have a good excuse as to why I have not posted in over a month. I have been busy with not much to show for it...BUT I have loads of ideas for things to draw, so I just have to draw them. Simple.

Anyway, in the meantime enjoy a fat dude and a classy frog.

Dracula's Lament

I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did making it. Don't forget to Comment on it :)


I Have also started up a new website for my "Professional Portfolio". This will be strictly for my current Demo Reel and Portfolio...but all are welcome to check it out.

spoooooooooky....

Here are some backgrounds for my final film. I'm just wrapping it up now so once I figure how to get it out with the best quality it will be up here for all to see.

Mmmmmmm.....pie

haha

She didn't even see it comin...

This is for my final film which will be finished next week...yikes! I'll also have a load more stuff finished next week for the fast approaching gradshow :)

Zombies!

It's been a little bit I know, but I have been up to my nipples in work for my fast approaching gradshow, and not much I can post at the moment. More to come soon I hope, xoxo

Round 2

With a little more experience in photoshop I figured I'd take another stab at this puppy. I'm quite happy with the result.
enjoy :)

The Chinaman is not the issue here dude!

I've had this idea for a while and designed the characters last summer. I think if I went back I could improve on the designs but alas there is no time, i must move onward. (I might fix this one up for the old gradshow)

Mwah ha ha ha...

Dracula designs for my final project. I'm not going to say much, but I'm pretty excited about this one.

No-No-Notorious!

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta!

Tribal Pack

This was our digital paint assignment for this week. I might use these guys as part of a model pack for my gradshow....unless i come up with something better by then of course. anyway enjoy!

Short Temper

First animation assignment of this semester. The criteria was pretty strict but i had some fun with it.

Weekly Illustration #2: Cartoon Self Portrait

Self Portrait in Clone High style.

Happy Birthday Pops!

A birthday present for my dad, it's not for a few days but I'm pretty sure he doesn't look on here very often.

Weekly Illustration #1: Snow Beast

The first weekly illustration of this semester....snow beast. enjoy!

A Real Canadian Winter break....

I know i have been slacking on my posts latley BUT I have been off school after an intense two weeks so that merrits a little away time this here blog. That's not to say I haven't been drawing and painting it up.

I had a very relaxing and enjoyable winter break and by the end it felt like a true Canadian one. We got a huge dump of snow here in Vancouer, I know all of Canada got snow, but we usually don't get snow around Christmas... especially this much!


Amidst the snow I managed to go see the Canucks play the Blackhawks, we lost, but it was my first Canucks game so I had a great time anyway...

... and beer is bloody expensive at GM place.




I painted this on Canvas for my sister for Christmas. Graffiti is not really my thang but I thought I'd give it a try. I'm not gonna lie i used a lot of reference from Google...but she really liked it so that's all that matters.




I can't forget about snowboarding. Since i may not get a whole lot time during my last semester, I tried to get up to the mountain as much as possible. Sometimes the conditions weren't great.



With a little convincing my friends got me to join them in drop-in ice hockey. I was a pretty intimidated, it was my first time, by all the other guys skating around the rink. However, after a few minutes on the ice I could not wait till my next shift.

I'm stoked to play again, maybe next time I'll get a shot on goal.



Also over the break i was lucky enough to get a job painting some murals at a local gym I used to work at. All of these are going to be part of a new Children's Activity center that will attached to the gym. The Monkey character is part of the franchise.


This is one of 2 walls that i painted in the party fasion.


The Oposite wall of the Party Room.


Located in the main Activity room.



I created this character to go with the slogan, located above the stairs so kids will see it on their way out.

And this one is located in the lobby entrance. The first thing seen when entering the building.

(sorry for the bad quality pics, they're taken with my phone)

That's pretty much what I've been up to this winter break...cause i know everyone was curious about my absence.
