Happy Friday!

Happy Friday!



Hi everybody! its Friday baby! but not just any ol friday! Its my birthday... yes, it is this day 24 years ago that i came out of my mother holding a pencil. Oooh, ouch! She still doesnt like me holding pencils in front of her... makes her nervous.
Its just been a lot of the same old same old for me this week. Waaaaay busy trying to get my portfolio all finished. I was editing my reel and decided i needed one more good acting shot, so i have taken it on myself to animate about a 12 foot shot in a week!! its been nuts trying balance everything, but God is gracious and gives as we need, not to mention my wife is gracious too!
So heres a piece i did for the character design portion of my portfolio. I really am fascinated with the film noir genre: detective movies and stuff. So i was drawing this detective character. It actually made me think of Ray Gunn, Brad Birds baby. He pitched that thing down here way before Incredibles but no one wanted to do it because of the fact that it WAS film noir and they thought audiences wouldnt go for it. but like most everything, if its handled with balance and sincerity i think the audience feels and believes it. plus, ummmm, its Brad! So heres to you Brad, please come down here and make that movie!!
So until next Wednesday whichll be the day before i go up to Pixar to visit a friend and see whats happening. If i can, ill take pictures and postem and narrate through my Pixarian adventure! Willermess out!
