I survived!

And now I am on holiday and was finally able to spend a whole day NOT at my cintiq! And not sick! (Two colds in one month? Plus crazy busy with work? Suck-fest.) Today I spent the whole day in my kitchen doing Christmas baking, so the apartment smells great! And to prevent myself from eating the entire lot, I will be taking the lion's share to the studio for all the nerds and artists. :)

I've been having a great time diving into my new favourite ships, which has lately included a brief but bright love affair with James Bond/Q. But! I always return to my first love, Bruce/Jim. And just to prove that I haven't lost my will to finish my Batman Beyond comic, here is the first page. ... of 37. Actually, I changed up the ending, so I think it's 38 pages now. When will it really be done? Who knows! Not soon! I said I wouldn't just post it a page at a time, but if it's gonna take this long, I might as well.

Anyway, a very happy holidays to everyone and all the very best for a bright and shiny 2013!

I drew this based off of a Facebook status update by my friend Robin McConnell of the Inkstuds radio show. He’s having a big curated art show called Horror Hangover tonight in Vancouver. It’s gonna be sweet.

No time for sketching!

So, I finally dove down the rabbit hole that is Charles/Erik fic. Some really excellent writing for those two. I really should've been working diligently today, but I had to doodle a bit. I'm afraid this is all there is for now (In fact, I should be working right now instead of goofing off). So here it is!

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA crosses 100 M!, one day I'll have to post one of the small sequences I did
. Congrats to Genndy and the story team !

and lastly myself, my wife and the kids are moving just south of the bay area ! I've been lucky enough to received an opportunity to join the talented team at PDI Dreamworks. Goodbye Toronto I'll miss the city but not the weather :)

Still alive

Well, no new doodles, I'm afraid. And no more work done on the comic. My new contract is eating up my whole life. (Thanks, Disney! >_<) Fortunately, I only have to survive until January, then I'm taking some time off. I'll try to draw something for the blog over the long weekend.

Has everyone seen this webcomic? I'm in love with it. http://jl8comic.tumblr.com/

The Prisoner

Some recent Cintiq sketches while watching The Prisoner.

Carnet de l'Europe: Day 6

The butter zone

I have joined the 21 century! This is my new baby, a Cintiq 22HD. Yup, yup. I'll have to use it mostly for work, but I couldn't resist doing some more on the comic tonight. :D

Holiday sketchdump #6

 Some of the Batman poses were taken directly from Bruce Timm's book 'Mad Love'.  Learn by copying the masters, as they say. Oh, and the Avengers cartoon has really grown on me. Obviously.

Back from vacation.

I seriously needed about three more weeks off after finishing that last job, but the next one starts up on monday. So, yay, money. :P
I got a lot of sketching done with my holiday, which I'll scan and post sometime today or tomorrow. I also managed to start on the Batman Beyond comic, here's the new title page (the rest of the comic will be black and white). It's going to be a big job, so... maybe by Xmas it'll be finished? I just re-wrote the ending a bit and it added another page, but I think it'll be worth it.

Must..get..coffee..now.....

Carnet de l'Europe: Day 5

The Blobby Boys

I read Alex Schubert’s Blobby Boys on What Things Do, and loved it. I picked up a print copy at Floating World in Portland as well. He makes cool comics. I’ve noticed a meme of fan art for Blobby Boys on Tumblr lately, so I felt like drawing something too.

Sketchdump #4

I only have two weeks until my deadline for work and I have no idea how I'm going to get all my stuff done. I am really looking forward to going to visit my folks, so I can get a start at some projects I've been putting off. In the meantime, here are a few sketches I managed to do this week.
