Order's up Storyboard frames

Did some story art a while back for a pitch on a  food ad. Can't remember the brand. But it didn't get the go ahead with the director. But thought I'd share a few of the frames anyway.

It's always a challenge to work as fast as possible but to keep an image's form and make it look interesting. Something that gets difficult especially if you weigh yourself down by thinking how much you have to get through and changes are being made repeatedly. But it helps to do scamps and get stuff signed off on just so everyone's on the right page.

Lesson for you boarders. Scamps my seem like extra drawing, but it'll make your work so much easier as you've broken the complexity of structure down without dedicating to much time in details.

What do you guys think of the images. Let me know in the comment section.

Sum up,

You're all cordially invited when the hard drive comes. I'm pissed off as it is, but I'll hold my tongue.

Honey I Shrunk the Kids: Backyard Camping out edition

I was working on a few things last weekend, and the Downsizing movie competition on Talenthouse got me thinking about what the world would be like if people were 5 inches taller. Well, if human nature has taught me anything, any invention that can't be weaponised is sexualised, so you can only imagine the 'giantess' category on Pornhub would likely grow considerably.

Yeah, anywho, I thought about how one's backyard would instantly become a Safari with a simple shift in perspective, and imagined a family interacting with nature on a whole new plain.

And a quick sketch and digital render later, came up with this:

 Check it out on Talenthouse!

Humongous marshmallows. Campfire by a matchstick. That guy with a guitar that only knows one chord. Death ladybug waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Good Stuff.

Sum up,
It's snowing today...

The Diary of a Freelancer: the Contract

I told you all I'd be dishing out advice.
In a business where being screwed royally is as naturally occuring as cave formations, you kind of need to protect yourself. If you are as trusting as I am, you tend to want to trust the maniacal utterances of a dirtbag Managing Director or "Creative" Director. Don't. Get some one paper, and signed, no matter how small the job is. This is to make sure you are iron clad, whatever the outcome.Emails- detailing parameters for a job...you think that would be enough, but electronic data can be more easily altered...therefore there is deniability. A signed contract less so. Due date, amount to be paid, what needs to be done, all should be addressed.

Dont get me wrong there are some honest bosses out there, that stand by their word and pay up what they owe. I love those few, and they get my best work. Whatever you do, always do your best, and if you see a company acting shifty, divorce them. To tell you the truth I don't always follow my rules...stubborn yes. I'm in contention at the moment with one particular company. Well they were a company. Latest victim of the Credit crunch? No...more like poor financial handling. They either give me the ring-around or dont respond to emails. Meh. As much as you get screwed however, you remember, the work is yours. Sign everything you put out.... one that is visible, the other embeded somehow and made a part of the design in the image (if possible). Thats what I do with my story art, illustrations and film.
Get it. Good.

Sum up,
Never put a company's needs above your own. You can tell alot about a man by how he runs his business. And if your boss is a righteous asshole, you, unlike other employees, have the privilege of severing all ties.



Grazie, douche-fag.
