Below is a link for a game that looks remarkable like one of Skribl's robot paintings...

Nicely animated and pretty to look at, I think this is a winner... assuming that it plays as well as it looks.

Watch Farrah!
This is a really funky marketing video made to generate interest in one of the games that Vivendi Mobile (the company I work for) has put out... it's kinda fun.

Cover (First Pass) for my Lulu Sketchbook
I've got the sketches set up in a PDF format. Six by Nine. I need to add another three pages, Intro, a little blah blah, and maybe go through it another time and change some of this and that. It'll be a bunch of very rough doodling.
I'll continue with the cover. I'm changing the Type and probably some layout stuff. Get rid of some of the simple rectangle stuff. But this is a quick lazy pass. Sketches that can be found inside the book but with the addition of color punching them up.

Cool Comic Book Drawings
Here's a San Diego artist who's comic book style I like quite a bit, but I've never heard of him before. Surely one of you knows him though. Tons of cool drawings on his blog:

Mr Toy
From an old comic book.
Click the arrows to read the art. The first page is unreadable because the background color comes from this web page, not the black of my other webpage
Clive Barker short story roughed out animatic
Cool Clive Barker story where a guy has his car overheat and strands him in the middle of the desrt. Out in the desert he just makes out some sort of group trucking along on foot. He makes his way toward them,,, and here I may veer from the story. i don't reemeber. i may have added the device of near Rattler strke to explain why he'd be so distracted he'd get very close to the group before he realizes it's a parade of MONSTERS. One chases him back toward the car and when the opportunity to pounce on him presents itself, the monster bounds on by and instead attacks his car, which explodes. It runs to the closest town while on fire. My "short" ends on that point. Not much to see. Just more aborted Flash work i did to teach myself Flash.
Tog and Ty
Just further experiments. Tog and Ty is a supernatural story. A girl and her magic cat. Bad animation but it'll get better.
Junkyard Split
Use the little arrows at the top left to move forward through the storyboards of this pitch idea.
Publishing this as an experiment. I may do a lot of Flash File publishing on the blog if it works.
Well, It kinda works. Click zoom in to see more detail on the art. You can scrub the drawing area around to look at the text etc.

LULU for NO cost Graphic Novels
Can there be anything more revolutionary than being able to publish books with vanity press size print runs and not having to spend a cent?
If you want your own copies of the book you pay about as much as any other customer. Buy 50 of your own graphic novels to sell at the CON for about a 13 percent profit.
Let Lulu and Amazon sell them and split any moneys made with LulU.
I talked this over with a guy at work. The picture I posted is from the top graphic novel of the site. Shawn Stiles huge sketchbook. S Curves.
The idea you no longer have minimum orders where you sell ten percent or less of a bunch of books and have the extras for the next 20 years. That's over. This is just a PDF file they keep on file and use for printing as orders come in.
Anyway, check it out. I'm excited about the idea myself.
My friend Yongwoo let me have this interesting data when we went to Stuart Ng's bookstore.. Check out his Blog by going to my Blog and clicking on ECHOFORM

LA Myth: Meltdown Show
So when I was at the Comic Con I ran into a former Cal Arts student of mine and he invited me to enter a piece for a show he was planning at
Meltdown in Hollywood. I said yes but wasn't sure if I could pull off a piece in time with work, family and the wii. So the Friday before the show I kicked myself in the butt and cranked out a 'lil gouachey 'sumpin 'sumpin. Not the greatest but at least I got into the theme. It even got a write up in LAWeekly!! (look I'm all excited like a little school girl)

Cintiq sketch
I managed to liberate a 21ux from the cube of our former 2D design guy who left the company to go to a start-up. I won't get to keep it, most likely, but my boss said I could use it for a few weeks. I haven't sketched in forever. I've been up to my neck modeling weapons. It's nice to just go crazy with no rules. I have no idea what this is. Just some random, gnarly monster.
Oh, and the Cintiq rocks. I am trying to be jaded so I will resist the urge to plop down $2500 for digital paper, but I really like these things.
Edit: I took Mr. Goodson's critique to heart and made a few changes. I like it a lot more now.

Another strange head
After that last strange head I did, I had the thought of doing another take on the idea of things that shouldn't be coming out of a head coming out of a head.
I've hooked up with the cartoonist community here in the Bay Area... I took the family to a great party at the Schultz residence and chatted for a long while with Brent who was fresh from his visit with you guys at the TAG party. Cool beans!

Jeff, hope it's okay to post this here. This movie is definitely on my must-see list. I have heard nothing but good things about this movie.
