Coming soon, hopefully!

Here's a little poster I made for a bad grind house style film I want to make some day. It's about a giant monster called the Road Hog that feeds on the tourists traveling through the middle of nowhere deserts of California. The movie will have bad actors in it, along with a soundtrack by John Carpenter hopefully.

Two very cool links this week:

The official JibJab Blog is offering up a few of my designs for your desktop wallpaper pleasure. Here!

The "official" Montauk Monster Blog showcased some of the drawings I made of the beast a few months back. My life is now complete. Here!

The Scythe

The Scythe is another one of my favorite stories from Ray Bradbury. You can find it in his collection, the October Country. It's about a man who inherits a small farmhouse and discovers he's the heir for Death's job. Each blade of grass in the surrounding fields is a human life, and the character is tortured by an urge to reap the fields with his scythe.

I other news, Ape Con is coming up this weekend in San Fransisco. I'll have a table again this year, so I hope to see some of you real soon.

Happy October,

Cartoon Brew

I was in Seattle this weekend, so I missed this post on Cartoon Brew. Looks like Jerry not only plugged the Monster Mash short but my blog as well. Very cool news to come back to!

Here's the post.

The Monster Mash

I recently had the pleasure of working on a Halloween short that was just released on the JibJab site today. The short allows you to cast yourself as a famous movie monster and utilizes some cool new JibJab technology.

The short can be viewed on the JibJab site!

Here are some of the backgrounds I created along with the logo I made for the short.



















The bottom one is a bit of development art.
