Saw Moonrise Kingdom last night. Love them or hate them Wes Anderson movies always have a great sense of design and a unique voice. Every character in the movie looked like they were designed as if they were going to be in an animated movie. I could have sat around all day drawing everything in that movie, but I kept to the main characters.

Here's the trailer

Vespa Art

These are my two pieces for the vespa art show down in San Diego this weekend.

Happy Camper

Im taking a class called Story Development for animation at the concept design academy in Pasadena with Rad Sechrist. He had a model come in for one of the classes. The model was pretty amazing. He looked like a human cartoon. These drawings aren't even pushed that much from real life.

We had to draw his pose and then add a story element. He made it pretty easy with his fake bird and his explorer outfit.

This background was kind of a cheat, but I couldn't think of anything to put behind this great pose.

Also here is a valuable resource for people trying to learn- Rads "how to" blog

The Boxer

I went to life drawing for the first time at the Nickelodeon studios today. The model was in character as a boxer. The model was pretty good and seemed to give this boxer an entire story arc.
