Paper Pusher

‘Sup my blogulant brothers? I’ve been trying to update my blog at least 3 times a week, but it’s just not happening. A lot of that has to do with the fact that we’re waist deep in the the new cartoon here at work, another good excuse is that my digital camera sucks. I really need to get a decent one so I can post non-vector crap up here. I swear I’ve been drawing my ass off lately folks, but you wouldn’t know that by looking at my blog would you? nope you sure wouldn’t. Speaking of crap, and vectors, here is is little of both! This is actually one long drawing that was done for a scene in the new “toon” I won’t say anything more about it, because I don’t want to ruin the joke.

Actually, I don’t think this is crap. I think you’re crap.

Thanks for reading!

Hey gang! I just sent off the next installment of Recalcitrant Jones and the dead beats. This was my second story for the Students of the Unusual, and I think that the pages are looking good this time out. Here are 2 random pages from the story (without all the spoilers) Good times!

see ya next time!

Here are some “boards” (as we like to call ‘em) from an upcoming cartoon that is based off of my comic book Tub Flub which you can buy here. I think these turned out pretty well, and I think the cartoon will end up being much funnier than the book. What’s that? Yeah, I know the book was the funniest thing ever, and has even been praised by Top Shelf comics’ own Brett Warnock at the Top Shelf Blog But what can I do? I can’t help it if I just constantly continue to wow and amaze everyone around me. I’m me you know?

This is the first couple of shots. This is pretty much the same as the comic, but instead of Pelton being woke up by an extremely loud alarm, I thought it would be funnier to have him wake up to some softy new agey kinda of world music. It will probably have some inspirational “guru” guy talking over the music too. Why am I telling you this? I don’t know.

This scene isn’t in the comic. I felt like I needed to add quite of bit more characterization to the Cartoon version in order to get the same effect as in the comic. So I did, and I think it’s a much funnier cartoon. But if all this extra stuff was in the comic, I think it would have been a total waste of time. Like all this text I keep writing. Totally worthless.

This one is pretty interesting. I’m not sure which way I want to “do” this gag. I think the top row (we’ll call that gag 1) Is far and away much funnier. But I kind of like the second row (gag 2) because it’s a little less crazy and a little more intense. While I always think that funnier is better, I would kind of like to build up to the craziness instead of just having gags flying all over the place at random. Plus I have about 4 or 6 million eye ball gags in this cartoon so I could probably stand to lose one or two. I don’t know, I could go either way. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Anyone?

…well not really, but it sounded good! I’ve been storyboarding a couple of different things in the past week, and I thought I would post some of the better pages.

This is for the first Dr. Internet cartoon entitled; “You got Servered” I should also note that this is the first time I’ve ever done my “boards” (as they say) in illustrator. I thought that it might speed the process up a bit by making it easier to keep all the characters heights correct and junk like that, but I think it ended up taking quite a bit longer due to all the breaking down and re grouping of characters and then also dealing with the all the colors. They came out okay. I don’t think they have as much energy as the Tub Flub story boards I did in pencil (which I will be posting tomorrow!)

Thanks for checking it out!
