Sketchbook for April

Hey!! I got hired on a project I'm excited about - my project...

'Julia' cartoon production art.

Great news! my friend Julia and I decided to polish the animation we made a little more: the goal is to make it twice as long and add a bit more animation / voice acting / detail as appropriate.

I apologize for the inconsistency with my projects: 'Cat Lobster Simulator' is nearly ready. 'CAT WITH GUN' (graphic novel) I need to edit after time away from making the work so I can improve it slightly before publishing.

Movie news

I'm helping out on a film. Here are all the pieces of art I can show you without getting in trouble. 

Ladies who deliver the mail

Here are some drawings of ladies who deliver the mail. The character above would be a good character to appear in the Julia cartoon.

Shrimp Shack - new game level

This is a bit of a 'two updates in one'.

Fishing minigame works

I have gotten advice from friends, and the cat lobster game is just going to take as long as it takes right now - one month or two out from a working demo - - BUT - - there is a fishing minigame, and over 64 types of fishable item.

I cannot remember which fishing assets I have shown you - I am going to include the raw scanned in pieces of paper since I have started to really like these asset sheets.

Julia! part 2

I am making the 'julia' short slightly longer and improved. Here is the next bit of it.

I got advice from freaking four people on how to fix this walk cycle, and I was still 100% studying reference diagrams to even make it !

Cat Lobster fishing update

 I am having lots of fun doing game development for the cat lobster game, but I regret initially planning to release it for free since I want to be more ambitious with it.

Do you think it would be okay to sell the game for $5 or so if I provided free keys to all patrons, as well as giving keys out promotionally?

Cat Lobster Guidebook

Last change to suggest something for the game! Decorations for the cat lobster's tank, or decorations for the cat lobster to wear. I'll try to include as many as I can.

Mike Kelley Posting

Mike Kelley is an artist whose work I love. Here is some information about the exhibition I saw. One of the main things in the exhibition was these old American yearbook photos that he had re-staged and tried to recreate accurately.

His reason for doing this was that the yearbook photos and costumes represented like, a kind of american folk art documentation...

Quilts for exhibition

It was frustrating to have to delay my solo exhibition in Vancouver, but I am working with my friend on a really awesome little project.

It was hard to narrow down the choices, but since Charlie is a quilt expert, I wanted to go with what he was most excited about. If you have read '920LONDON', Charlie appears in the party chapter. The green Ween-liking character is also based on Charlie.

Guest concept art - videogames

Recently I was asked to help design a level for the indie game 'Worms have Five Hearts' - I got permission to share this concept art with you! The finished product might look very different, but it was fun to design a mall for worms.

Cat Lobster game development is going well additionally.
