The 3 Principles of the Social Animal

Yessir, I did this little animation vid for an RSAnimate competition, taking an excerpt from a David Brooks lecture. Funny, he's a Republican, but speaks intelligently, not just throwing glittering generalities around.

Random factoid: statistically, the words that reoccur in the average democratic speech are words like 'health', 'education', 'budget/taxes' while the average republican buzzwords are 'terrorism' 'war' 'freedom'. So its a matter of holding your votes hostage and, as propaganda goes, a form of 'emotional blackmail'.

Republican: If you don't vote for me all hells gonna break loose. You're all going to die!

Democrat: Don't vote for me and your children are gonna grow up sick and stupid!

I could talk British politics, but America is just way more entertaining. Listening to news here just makes you want to shove a sawn-off down someone's throat. You know whom. Its PM where I am. Night y'all (see what I did there?).

Apprenticeship Campaign Storyboards

Did some boards for an ad campaign about slaver...kaff! kaff! ... I mean Apprenticeships. Yeah. One of my first jobs on peopleperhour.com, but that's cool. Even ended up doing character design so can't complain. Which made me use Illustrator, a program I hadn't used in like forever. Vector is so mathy-mathy. Have a looksey:

Turned out to be one set of 4 storyboards, but I powered through it over the weekend.

My Drugs are Free... and Watermarked (Story Art)

Hold your horses, freeloaders. Your boards are coming just sit tight and wait for the god to break your ass off with a taste. I swear they are like coke fiends. But here comes the slinger.

The worse form of Story Art is the one used to 'test' your skill. Like the extensive portfolio wasn't enough. Better you ask me to see my late great examples and leave it there. Nevertheless, the ronin sharpens his blade for the upcoming carnage.

Boards for a trailer:

2012! Story Art to start the Year Off.

Generals, Riders, Deusches and Dudettes. Welcome to 2012. Yay! We made it. Hi- survival five! Buddha bless you! This year, like every year, I have decided to go in hard. Differences is that this year I am not doing it for money or for someone else... I am doing it for me. I'll still be doing remedial, client-ish. But my own pieces will be getting special treatment.

Anywho, some story art I did for a prospective job. Fingers crucified:

Don't worry friends, more stuff to come, just on my grind til end of January

Sum up, 

Ah, Good Times. Not the show. Creepy.
