THANKS for stopping by! first off though... have any of you read the post by john K "Does Everybody Want To Be A Character Designer?" it's a pretty good article, but it kinda trashes Total Drama Island (which is the show i am currently working on) I guess i'm not that suprised it is so criticised since it isn't done traditionally.. however i am a bit suprised that so many people agreed and thought it was bad. I personally love the designs, and i'm sure the intention is to take them as far as you can within your scene, however there's no time or money to make it like we'd all like to. Anyway. some interesting discussion over there.. I'll post some more of my posing stuff from Total Drama. (just gotta figure out how far along is it on the tele)

Above is some personal work.. its a concept i came up with while stuck inside sick all week. hope you like it!

here's some quick little sketches i drew as a gift for my mom. she has about ten of these dogs and they are pretty funny little creatures. especially when they are puppies.

its been a while since my last post so i figured i would add a few roughs i did while comng up with the pirate illustration. these are so completely different than what i ended up with. i decided to take a break from pencil and paper and messed around in flash, which is where all my final ideas happened. i probably saved about 20 trees.

this is a card i did for justin's birthday. he always makes cool hand painted cards for everyone else's birthday, so i figured i'd put a bit of time in for his card. hope you like it.

16 miles to merricks

I was recently asked to do a chapter illustration for an online book by barnaby ward , called 16 miles to merricks. Its a really cool story with super cool illustrations, so check it out! it is in its second week right now so you'll have a bit of catching up to do. my illustration will not appear for a while, but here is another version i did up for fun. hope you all enjoy it as much as i do. thanks matt garbs for the hook-up. here's the link: http://somefield.com/

Here are some poses I have done for Total Drama Action. If you havent seen it yet, check it out every sunday at 6:30 pm on Teletoon. It is a really fun job and a great show to work on with great animation and incredible character designs. I have worked on the show for 2 seasons now and it just keeps getting better. I decided to go with the cleaned up versions of these poses which have gone through the clean up department. I will post again after season 2 is complete with more poses and a better description of the process. hope you like!
