I did this drawing for the weekly sketch theme over on the AM forums. This week's theme was Robot Dino.
Another test for the up coming comic. I think I could push this a lot more. Now that I look at it it feels identical to my previous version.
My nephew, niece and I have been sending art to each other through the mail. Here's my most recent contributions that I'm dropping in the mail today.
A couple of guys from Speakeasy are putting together a comics anthology. Here's a test I did to figure out the villain of my story. I'm trying to figure out how I want to color it, ink it, and some of the nuances of the drawing style. So there is a lot in here that is up for grabs.
"Gandalf thought of most things, and though he could not do everything, he could do a great deal for friends in a tight corner." 
I had fun playing with the proportions of the friendly neighborhood Spiderman.
King Leonidas from Frank Miller's 300. The movie good but the comic was great. The more I look at this sketch, the less I like it. I'm not sure what it is.
The picture of my brother Josh on the top of Half Dome made the Crossfit main page! Most people probably don't know what this means but I think it's pretty cool. Most of the time you have some pretty hard core athelets that get their picture featured for the day on the Crossfit page. So it's pretty neat to see family up there. Crossfit is the workout program my wife, brothers and I follow. It was at a Crossfit competition where I took those pictures of my cousin collapsed on the floor.
Now that working on my demo reel isn't so urgent I've taken some time to do some drawing with the only goal of making me smile. I find drawing of any kind really enjoyable and fun. Life drawing, gesture drawing to improve my eye for animation and the occasional commissioned art piece are times I always look forward too. But sometimes I like to escape through my pencil and draw whatever makes me smile.
When's the last time you pulled out one of these little beauties to play with? Slinky obstacle course on my desk at work, current course operator in this picture is Mike "the pod 3 Emperor".
Every day for the last couple of weeks at Speakeasy I've been sketching out one of these little globs and bits of muck with faces on them on a post it note. I then give them to Mike who promptly names them. Here is the first one I drew. More are on there way.
The other day we had a Speakeasy production meeting at the Jolly Trolly. After a few of us stuck around and took advantage of the Speakeasy credit card left behind and did some extra drinking, eating and chatting. We eventually got a hold of the kids menu's and crayons and had some fun doing a bunch of collabrotive drawings. Later we got the bright idea to join in the Jolly Trolly's kareoke night. Being animators we had to figure out a way to take it to the next level. We went back to the studio grabbed our Muppet What Nots and performed the kareoke with the muppets. Lefty (my muppet) and the gang sang two Queen songs, Don't Stop Me Now and Bohemian Rapsody. The unexpecting patrons of the Trolly got a pretty good kick out of it. We definately got everyone's attention. People were taking pictures, laughing and starring with puzzled looks on there faces. It was a ton of fun.
