Have you ever wanted to use more brushes than Photoshop has? Do you dislike Painter because its interface drives you nuts? Well have I got the site for you, a co-worker of mine found this the other day. We got brushes!!
Do you have a cintiq or other drawing device and ever though, hey wouldn’t it be cool to draw in 3D? Well here is an interesting conceptual application that will let you do just that. I think that this has so much potential as a way to start modeling to get your thoughts into maya in a way that is nearly completely usable.

Steven Colbert went after McCain on his recent assertion that the economy is doing just fine and within a few hours saying that we were heading for a disaster. Which is it? Interestingly I don’t hate McCain but I I do feel that he is totally selling out and is contradicting himself a lot. Why? Beacuase in one instance he is with one group of idealogs then the next with another, he is playing himself to that crowd, the problem is I don’t think he knows about Tivo.
When I was little I moved to Mamaroneck, NY with my Mom after my parents got divorced. It was interesting returning there this afternoon after Kat and I went to Rye Playland. Over all I would have to say I am more impressed with how the area turned out. I think that at the time I never appreciated what my Mom had to go through to make sure that I grew up on a nice street in a nice town, now I do. So many memories. Thanks Mom :)
First things first, I am posting from that new wonderful little iPhone app that came out for Wordpress. That said, it’s here to get me to post more often.
Today a few of my coworkers and I shirked out Nickelodeon duties and made our way over to the Children’s Museum of Mannhatten. My new boss was also in our little our group. We went to go see it’s small exhibit of original Golden Book illustrations.
A word about this; a coworker of mine suggested that I do a series of tutorials on Flash drawing and animation. Examples will be taken from my film for more indy related stuff and some examples from work files and processes used in game development. I have always believed that its good karma to share all that you know. That said I will attempt to share all that I know. Enough said, now for the first lesson.
LESSON 01
Efficiency in Flash is important. Whether you are working on your own or on a production team, you need to get your work done as fast as possible. In this lesson I will explore JSFL plugins for Flash.
JSFL (Javascript Flash) is a script language that lets you perform certain tasks with in Flash. The best analogy I can come up with is that its a harder to work with version of Actions in Photoshop. That said its not as easy to use. I personally have no idea how to make any of these, though that doesn’t mean you can’t use them. First you will need to get your self a copy of Adobe Extension Manager. You will Extension Manager to install all the following extensions.
Its been a few hours of work and digging, but now I have it, a totally re-imagined portfolio. Well maybe not totally, I do have about 3 works that I kept from the old one, mostly because I have no new animal drawings that I can find, I will have to check my laptop again to make sure. Hum… I swear. Any who click on the “portfolio” link above and that will take you to all the new works! Enjoy!
Update: So I didn’t have to look far to find more drawings, I guess I just over looked the folder :P
My Coworker Allison sent me this awesome link show examples of animation that has New York in it. I think I can add to this a bit, though this is a pretty exhaustive list.
Hey look at this I’m on a f*cking roll here. This is like the third post this week… I just finished this sketch that had 6 previous incarnations. What I wanted was a girl longing for someone to the right of her, at a cafe. I am going to finish this as a painting on a large canvas (24″x30″, still not sure if I’m going to do acrylic or oil. There will also be another image to the right which will have the interest. The idea behind this is I want to start dabbling in fine art and pushing the boundary of what is cartooning or illustration and fine art. As these two field blur you start to find cross over like Makoto Aida’s works. I know its Japanese but it has definitely influence American culture at least in how I was brought up, thus my art tends to hearken back to Anime instead of UPA. That said that is the reasoning behind the style. The over arching theme is feelings, there will be others as well as variants, this one is longing.
PS - crits are welcome!
