"Endless Runner in Gaza" Classical Animation - More progress
Akk...
I realized, having cleaned up the run portion, that by trying to keep the (screen) left arm clear of the face, its mechanics are a bit unnatural with the humerus staying relatively still. Woops....

Schoolism Live Vancouver featuring Pixar Story Artist Louie Gonzales
Aside from being a full time artist, I have the incredible honor of coordinating Schoolism Vancouver. This past Saturday and Sunday we featured Pixar story artist Louie Gonzales, who provided an incredible life drawing workshop.
We had a great drawing model, Vanessa Loubert, on stage while Louie guided us through an intensive curriculum aimed at strengthening our ability to communicate story through our character poses. He went over line of action, shape, silhouette, space, exaggeration, extrapolation, and story. We all drew the model after each lesson, and used our smart phones to email Louie our work which he drew over on the projector...sooo insightful! By the end of it we were all very charged up and more clear as to how Pixar remains one of the best storytelling studios on the planet.
Throughout the workshop Louie emphasized the importance of two questions to ask ourselves when drawing:
1) What is the main idea of the pose?
2) How can I best represent that idea?
Make sure you join the mailing list and watch all the free interviews on Schoolism.com and join our Facebook group for future updates and discounts.

"The Fantastic Dream" watercolour
This commissioned work was deeply enjoyable for me, and a big honor. Craig Allen Conoley, owner/director of Partus Films, hired me to create this watercolor painting based on his childhood memories, dreams, and family memoirs. Craig will bring this to his tattoo artist to have permanently committed to his left arm as a sleeve.
I have had the privilege of working with Craig on Ian Keteku's "Kay", and am a big fan of his work.
With a focus on surreal composition and alternating value patterns, I did my best to honor the very personal concepts of this piece.
