I finally created a comics page that has pretty much everything I have done over the past couple of years. The infamous and failed sleeping book is up as well as various odds and ends. Myrva is the only finished story, but I’m still at work on Lulu & Mitzy. Spread the fun.

It’s been a super long time since I posted last because I completely fawked up my website trying to be fancier than I was capable of pulling off. So here I am! Back to square one. I’ll be updating some stuff - adding a comics section and a place to stuff all of my Robo 3000 related work.
In the space between webpage meltdown and now I have been very busy. I’m halfway finished with a comic called Lulu & Mitzy about two prostitutes living in the Tenderloin area of San Francisco (basically a block from mine and Yo’s apartment). Its a comedy and I’m more than satisfied with it. I like the characters a lot and look forward to developing them more.
I sent a bunch of finished pages to publishers last week and am keeping my fingers crossed. If none of them pick it up I’m going to definitely look into self-publishing because I really believe this title will do pretty well. I mean, who doesn’t like prostitutes?

I’m test animating a scene of the bartender character just slamming a drink, but this is just a stage/color test. I also added a couple of flourishes and touched up the Club Glorp shot. As I get into this more it becomes more and more clear that this cartoon will take me a looooong time.

Here is a rough version of the Club Glorp exterior for Robo 3000. I’m still working out all of the kinks with the matte painting in the background, but I think I’m close to being where I want to be. I took the original film and desaturated it and then recolored it on a layer set to overlay. It makes it much more stylized.

Here are a couple more stills from Robo 3000 that I just finished. I’m going to add a couple more things before these go into the film, but for the most part this is it.

Another painting I did in an hour based off of a random sketch.

Just playing around with some new brushes.

Here are a couple of still paintings from my forever in the works masterpiece, Robo-3000. I’ve been working on it for three years now, which is sad, because its definitely no award winner. Its a crude story to be sure, but its kinda funny and it allows me to do a lot of different things. The set are hand made and were professionally lit and shot. The animation is pretty complex and uses a bunch of programs. It even will have some 3D stuff. I’ve been painting these still digitally and have been using Little Annie Fanny for color reference.

I have a lot of material in my sketchbooks that I never post because of the content. I’ve generally tried to keep my web page clean, but unfortunately this has meant that some of my best doodles never make it to the net. So here is the deal, DO NOT CLICK ON THE IMAGE BELOW UNLESS YOU ARE 18 OR OVER! There’s nothing really raunchy, just a bunch of nujidity, but some peoples get their panties in a bunch just from mention of the word “nipple”. Arigato.

I was just fooling around with Flash tonight. There’s supposed to be a cereal bowl in front of her, but I got sleepy.
