American Eagle Kids Animations - October 2010

Again working through Dorian Orange for American Eagle Outfitters kids. This time working on some adorable Yeti character animations as well as our old friend the little Blue Bird. It's a snowboarding/snowball fighting/hat sharing ad for an AE Kids Winter Sale. My role was to do a redesign of the AE Yeti character and a new treatment of the Blue Bird to fit the paper cut out style of this particular ad. I also completed a list of gesture animations of both the bird and the Yeti. The awesome animators at Dorian compiled my bits and created the rest of the ad.

American Eagle Kids Animations - September 2010

I was working for a spot called Dorian Orange. This job for them was for American Eagle Outfitters Kids in conjunction with some sort of literacy campaign. I did several spot animations of the little bluebird logo which were to be compiled and shown on one of the megatron screens in Times Square. Sadly I don't have the compiled animation nor do I have the video of the ad playing in Times Square (FAIL!) I'd love to share the animations with you but Blogger is being a bugger. I'll try again later...

Opening reception - Friday, August 6th 2010, 6pm-9:30pm

RUNS: August 6th through August 30th, 2010

at Tulum Gallery, 244 North 6th St., Williamsburg, NY 11211


[Tulum Gallery - Williamsburg, NY]
Tulum Gallery is proud to present PulpO, an eight-person group show of new drawings and paintings by New York-based artists in animation, illustration, and the fine arts. Showing together in a variety of styles and media, these eight artists draw from their backgrounds as representational artists to cultivate narratives influenced by pulp and comic-art traditions. Themes like science fiction, war, horror, the occult, exploitative stories, sensational iconography, and adventure are interpreted by this group with surreal, whimsical, and abstract flourishes.

The manic and comically apocalyptic drawings of Christy Karacas, co-creator of Adult Swim’s Superjail!, will be featured for the first time on a smaller scale in PulpO. Devin Clark, the creator of Comedy Central’s Ugly Americans, will showcase his obsessive and tangled “hair” paintings. PulpO will also feature the painted pop culture musings of Jackson Publick, creator of Adult Swim’s Venture Bros., the sinister characters of illustration painter Kelly Denato’s storybook-acrylics, the playful “multiplane” objects of animation designer Chris George, and more.

I know I don't post here enough so the very few of you who take a look here from time to time have probably given up on me but what the hell...

Another opening!!!
This Friday - September 18th is the opening for the 4th Too Art for TV exhibit. The list of artists is hugenormous and it promises to be a great show. I'll be exhibiting 3 new paintings and a sculpture. I'm posting teaser thumbnails here as well as the 2Art4TV postcard which you can also see on my flickr page here.

Thank for looking and hope to see you there :)

Valentine Voodoo Plushies!

Between the winter weather keeping me couped up and being spent from painting for Too Art 4 TV, I've been busy sewing! For those of you who know, I've been making these little plushies for nearly 7 or 8 years. I've created this unique set of 16 voodoo dolls with a common theme of Valentines' Day :) Of course, a little voodoo never needs a special occasion- I just thought it'd be fun. So scrap the tired old teddy bear and swap it for something a little darker... I've posted extra pics of these to my Flickr page and have listed them on my Etsy shop. Thanks for looking and enjoy!
