The Mind.

1 min read

As I'm clearing out the studio of all my notes, binders, drawings and scanning what I can for the digital archives, I came across these quotes that I wrote down on a random piece of paper. Circa 99-03  Not sure who the second writer is that I've written their quote. 


"The mind is a tool, it is either clogged, bound, rusty, or it is a clear way to and from the soul. An artist should not be afraid of his tools. He should not be afraid to know." Robert Henri


"The challenges an artist will face when drawing from life or from a model can be made easier to surmount by practice and application of knowledge. How does the artist accurately record or interpret a model's proportions, volumes, textures, and angles? 

Practice. 

Practice of applying practical knowledge of anatomy, hand eye coordination, keen observation, and imagination."

Hey Y'all, 
Did I ever mention that I put together a little short film for Titmouse Animation's Annual 5 Second Day?
This little animatic was put together over about 2.5 days (which would explain the "amazing" line quality ;)

Let me know what you think after checking out the link:

i should have posted this here sooner. A while back I had the chance to help out on this incredibly well animated and designed pilot which could be a series. I say could be because Amazon needs our views to determine if the pilot earns series status. Is there a demand for quality animation today? I feel like thee is a void of quality in animated tv series out in the market. If we have the power to demand better because we know better than why not? Nothing to lose and quality to gain. What say yee? Watch the pilot, cast your vote, and help bring a little light into the darkened realm of classical animation.

Howdy Y'all, 
Just a quick heads up from Turbo Production to announce some good news. 
My friend and fellow animator, animation artist, Steve Ahn has released his first sketchbook!
If you like cool art and inspiring animation style drawing, cruise on over to his page to check out his amazing art and get your copy today!

Cheers!

Howdy Yall,

Long time no blog!

Working on Turbo F.A.S.T. has kept me pretty busy for the past few months.

Today, I had the chance to see an animation clip from a sequence I story boarded in episode Ready Set Glow, directed by the tremendously talented Juno Lee.

The animation turned out incredibly well due to the amazing talented animators at Titmouse Animation and the entire animation production team.

Check it out when you can on Netflix and see what I make when not making art for DA ;).
