More Starring You!

Five new JibJab shorts have been released - and all of them are Starring You!s! (great punctuation, eh?)









Anyways, it's especially fun because I'm one of the default heads in three of the videos. I've never seen Ian, Diana, and myself so happy before. Especially Ian.

Oh ya, there's two more that I didn't post about that got released - Happy Christmas and Menorah Hora.

What are you waiting for? Trying starring in a Starring You!

This is exactly how story development works....

Ahh, the days of Sesame Street....

Man, things are so busy nowadays!

I am absolutely swamped. I've been doing tons of design and workbook stuff for my film lately - I'll show it off soon when it's all good and ready.

In the meantime, the awesomely talented Robin Hall and I have been bouncing design feedback back and forth - here was one try at one of her characters.

Fun times!

Drawing some Sheridan Peeps today...

Cintiqs....

Hey there,

Just noticed today that Wacom has added two Cintiq models to the Wacom Americas site.



The first model is brand new and one that I haven't talked about before. The new model, Cintiq 20WSX is a widescreen, 20.1 inch tablet display with a resolution of 1680X1050. It is priced at $1999.

Also, the 12WX is finally now on the Americas site - with a price of $999.

It was a really good session today.

The Art of Bee Movie

Hey guys,

Hopefully the powers that be won't mind me posting up this image as I hope it will make more people buy this book!

I just got a chance to finally look through The Art of Bee Movie by Jerry Beck. It's available for only 27 bucks on Amazon and is incredibly good. It's also available through the Labyrinth right now.

Not only is it good to see that Dreamworks has started releasing artbooks for their films (they haven't really released one like this since Prince of Egypt), but it also features the most Nicolas Marlet drawings that I've ever seen in print in one spine!

The book also features some great stuff from Carlos Grangel, Christophe Lautrette, Tony Siruno, Craig Kellman, the list goes on!

Boards Beegees....

Some quick backgrounds for the boards, just to keep the blog fresh.

The story reels are coming up due real soon - exciting times!

Drah-wings.

Guess who?

Found this little gem on the Animated Buzz forums.
