zombies!

this has been sitting in the corner of my desk stop for, like, years almost now.

as good a reason to be blogged as any, i guess.

hope you like.

maybe, i could make a green one, for st. paddy's day tomorrow.
regardless i'll be trying to blog more recent stuff in the future.

how 'bout that CAPRICA show on space, eh! that's what were talking about.

KCLAAaannAANG!!!

In this early post war (mock)photo(for use in a pitch package I put together recently) we see Boom Boom Jeffries wielding the mystical hammer Mjolnir after having wrested it from the mighty Thor himself at the height of WW11. Thor, of course, fighting for Nazi occupied Norway at the time. And we see young Billy Miller holding up Admiral America's invincible shield of Ultimate Virtue as the Admiral keeps a watchful eye.

Good times.

series development collage

the great thing about working on developing an animation series, especially in the early stages, is the shear amount of drawings you have to go through trying to come up with characters and 'styles' of animation. as for style in this case, i got the feeling early on, that the client, though wanting something cartoony, didn't want anything that was, y'know, 'too cartoony'. and it was just a matter of finding out what each of us thought the other meant by 'cartoony' and 'too cartoony'


these are selections from the ever expanding research and reject file...

Real Canadian Superheroes! For Real!

These are a series of trading cards issued along with series of postage stamps that came out in 1992 or 93.

I modified two of them somewhat so as not to arouse any copyright houndings and include them in series proposal I put together late last year.

Two other ones are complete fabrications based on characters in the series.

Three of them are untouched and are shown as they were issued with a little worse for wearage along the edges.

Can you guess which one are which, kids? I knew you could.

I'm not saying I did such a great job with the photoshopping and the fakings but the and vague status of most Canadian superheroes makes it a pretty easy task for one up to such enterprise.

Johnny Kanuckehead is a personal favorite.




These are the stamps themselves: Issued to commemorate Superman's birthday and the discovery that he's apparently half Canadian. I thought he was half Jewish myself. But what do I know?

I'm pretty sure it was his left side that was Canadian. The side that that Neofacsist Batman always hated. Or was Superman the Neofacsist? Labels. So hard to keep track of who's what and what's what mean.

But I digress.

One these stamps is a fake also. It's pretty easy to spot; it's the one you can't read at this size.

li'l CHUCKIE BANG BANG + BOOM BOOM JEFFERIES

the world's biggest midget and the strongest boy in the world kicking axis ass as shown here in this commemorative stamp issued in the mid nineties.

boom!

something a little halloweeny. just in time for the halloween season

Tai-Ming and Livraison

'been a while since my last...

...thought i'd pick up where i left off and update the web series i got sidetracked from by a little storyboard stint that i'm just coming up for air from.

whew!

TM&L (tai-ming & livraison*): some of the characters have minor changes. some are exactly the same.

i still have a half dozen secondary and handful main characters to flesh out.

i'll add them in as we go.

we'll be launching the site once we get a few more episodes in the bag(2 so far, kinda almost sorta). and get started with proper production blog as well in the near future.


*livraison means 'delivery" en francais. ergo, timing and delivery. yay!!!...multilingual puns! when is that never any fun?
