Raleigh Zoo Studies

We decided to take in the Raleigh Zoo over Thanksgiving.  It's been a while since I last tried straight-up brush and pen gestures, but it's always a lot of fun.

Here's a few more I only had time to take pictures of:

Back to the History Museum

It was another nice Saturday so we stopped by the Natural History Museum again for a little last-minute studying.

Later at dinner my wife and I did a little jam sketch.

Sweet'N Low and Other News

The two commercial spots for Sweet'N Low that we made last month are now on the air!  I was Animation Director and also provided the animatics on these.  These were quite a lot of fun to make, a very expressive style.  Each spot is 15 seconds and drawn in Flash.  The  animation crew included my wife AZURE, Pasquale Ricotta, and myself.  Produced at Nathan Love, Inc.

In other news, both my wife and I will be included in Art For Hope, a digital art anthology sponsored by Autodesk and VIZ Media, the proceeds of which go in support of the continuing disaster relief in Japan.  It's a really fantastic project that debuts the first week of December.  My wife's piece will be featured at the launch premiere in Las Vegas at the Autodesk Creative Studio Event.
