Kevin is a bit unpleasant but oddly endearing, at least I'd like to think so. Endearing in that, holy crap, this guy is bat-shit insane and only exists on earth to amuse more sane people!

How can you say no to an anthropomorphic tooth...? You can't. Even if it goes against your better judgment. Besides, he's assuring you that you won't be disappointed.

Look how happy Chester is to be caught in a wind storm with his balloon. Chester always was easily amused. I say was because his friends wonder what ever happened to him, he tends to wander when he gets into his happy place. It's been 15 years...

Yeah, but what else...

Here's a bunch of character design sketches I'm working on for a side project at work. I'm excited to see this come together...it's still early but I have a good feeling about it. Besides, anytime someone pays me to doodle is a good time! (I'll post some more sketches later in the week.)

Good day everybody, or at least it is now, thanks to Gretta Von Buttface! She comes from a long lineage of Buttfaces that were once considered the epitome of class and royalty. Now she's looking to entertain the world, and why shouldn't she? Her friends all say she's a funny gal. Go get 'em Gretta, we know you'll make magic.

Like a bolt of lightning, the idea came to her!...And so she found herself sewing in her kitchen until the wee hours of the morning. Cheryl Crumpnickq would design, create and sell her own line of designer couture dashiki's.

The other day at work, some idiot client told us that we couldn't possibly put facial hair on any of our adorable 3d people. Nah, why would you want to do something that makes it easy to distinguish between tons of characters at a glance. Oh clients...They always know best.

A friend of mine once told me a funny story about a guy who used to beat him up as a kid. Naturally, I completely forgot the story other than the nickname of the main bully, "The Beak." For whatever reason, this is what I imagined him to look like. When I showed my friend the doodle, he said, "Nope, that really doesn't look like him at all." To which I replied, "Perfect."

After watching a random sampling of what passes for children's cartoons recently I realized that something must be done. (I'm working on a few ideas...most likely none have anything to do with the doodle above) I think two of the best new shows are on Cartoon Network: Chowder and The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack Check 'em out if you haven't seen them yet!

So while this isn't Kurfuffle, I am here to say that I'm back! I appologize to everyone for leaving for so long, and thank those who continue to peek in and see if I'm still alive. I have been moving and it's taken a lot longer than I had hoped. I still have boxes that need unpacking but I'm starting to put my life back together. Thank you all again. Here's just a quick sketch I did for a concept at work today. I'll be around more often, I promise....and as for Kurfuffle......soonish.

Hey there folks! I'm still pretty busy these days but one of the fun things I'm making time for is painting...lots and lots of painting. I'm trying to experiment and at the same time learn how to paint. The piece above is acrylic on a wood plank roughly 17x9in. It doesn't have a title yet but I'm open to suggestions. More to come! I think I might eventually try to sell them along with limited edition prints....stay tuned...

Helllloooo! It's been a while but I think I have a good reason for not posting...I've been working on a new painting. I'm going to be in a gallery show at the end of the month featuring work that was painted on skate decks. I'm honored to be included with a bunch of really talented people. If you're in the NJ/NY area, you should come check it out! The opening will be at Maxwell's gallery in Hoboken, NJ on June 23rd. The show runs for about two months and everything is for sale. I can't wait to see what everybody's made. The theme for the show is nature...my entry is posted above. Hope to see some of you there! (Thanks to Andrea for putting the show together!)

"Conflict Resolution" A New Animated Short, Finally! (Not For The Kids): A Rope Of Sand



Hey everybody, as promised, here's what I've been working endlessly on for the past three months! This is the newest animated short I made with some very talented friends as an entry into the first annual Opie and Anthony animation festival. It premiered last night at Roseland Ballroom in NYC to a packed audience of roughly 1,800 people. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! I'm very proud of how it turned out, great job everyone!

Oh and like the title suggests, there's some bad words and "adult situations" so this might not be one for the kids....because we all know nothing keeps kids away like telling them they can't see something...especially on the internets............. So enjoy, kids!

So it's been a while...I've been busy with work, went to Vegas, and I'm working on a new animated short. Things have been a bit hectic but I can't complain....did I mention VEGAS??!! (i did) What a crazy place that is. Good, bad, and evil...but Fantastic all around!

Here's a sketch I did for a possible painting I'm working on. I'll be in a gallery show mid June so I need to get my butt in gear. I'll post more when I can....sooon!

Here's some fun with watercolor. Above is the final and below is the process (although I like the final letterbox version on the bottom right.) I took it into photoshop and played with the colors. It's an experiment for creating background art in a new short I'm working on. The final BG's won't look anything like this piece but I had fun doing it.
