TODAY
I recently wrapped on a project for PSYOP and Esquire magazine. The project uses a technology called augmented reality... The editor in cheif of Esquire magazine was on the Today show today explaining how it all works. Check out the clip to hear about the technology and to see my animation. I animated a lot of the Gillian Jacobs joke piece (the second clip shown). So if any of you out there has a web cam, go pick up the December issue of Esquire magazine and you can have some fun with this. Enjoy the clip!

BIG RED

Pierce The Human Pincushion & Nathan The Dog-Faced Boy

"Red" Edition! Ltd. Edition of 250 PCS. $45.00 for set of 2 figures.


"Pierce and Dogboy are the Carney family mischief makers! Pierce is the quintessential bratty younger brother, and Dogboy is Pierce's pal, a loving pet, and... a fur covered wingman! Pierce relishes his gross-out gig as "The Human Pincushion" in the family sideshow act. (He's got more holes than a boardwalk putt-putt course). When Dogboy isn't doing double duty as the family's household hound, and Pierce's partner in crime, he wows the crowds at Barker's sideshow with his furry face and outrageous animal antics!"
Pierce stands aprox. 5.5" tall while Nathan stands at 4"
Unlike the previous Pierce/Nathan colorways this set does NOT come with a mini print.

Now available through DKE toys.

A while back I was filmed by the fine folks over at Cookies-n-Cream for their "Stay True" video magazine. Well the 1st installment is now complete & you can purchase one directly from their site here...

Stay True

Here's a little blurb I grabbed from their site, so you can get an idea of what to expect...
STAY TRUE DVD - VOL 1.
Clothing & designer toy brand Cookies -n- Cream presents the first volume of a video magazine titled Stay true. Stay True is a video magazine about art, designer toys, music, fashion, culture and more. The DVD features video interviews with people who are staying true to themselves and doing what they love. Regardless of popular opinion or what's "hot" at the moment, enjoying what you do is one of the most important things in life. Welcome to a world of people who are doing just that. If they can do it, so can you. Stay True.

Volume 1 features interviews with people in various fields from music to toys to fashion to art etc. The individuals interviewed are Sket-One, Dave Cortes, Tara McPherson, KaNo, Ali Vegas, Emilio Rojas, Shinobi Ninja, Vincent Yu (My Plastic Heart), Byron Velasquez, Pesu, TooFly, Kerri (Goodwood), Jared Deal, Teddy King (King Stampede/Boundless) and Peter Kato (Art Curator).

WAVE 2 COMING SOON!!!
Eric took these shots today... I snagged 'em from the Argonaut blog. Stopped through his pad today to paint these up... enjoy!

KANJI IN THE CITY!
Here's a few shots of wave 1 that I never got around to posting til now.

REEL DEAL
Well, here it is... the animation reel I should have had for the past 10 yrs, haha. Honestly, up until this point I've never really needed one, just kinda flowed from one job to the next. I figured I should take advantage of my recent "hiatus" and finally get crackin' on a reel. So here it is, enjoy...

...Oh yeah and in case you didn't realize this means I'm available for work finally, so hire me & stuff!
Also, it really bugs me that I spent a week on this getting the timing just perfect & hitting all my beats, etc, & in the end the compression just chops it all up.
