Lightbox expo

Lightbox expo is almost here! From October 25 - 27 I will be tabling at Lightbox expo, the animation event of the year! ​I will be tabling at this event together with my good friend and amazing artist Thomas Fluharty, and I'll be bringing books, and originals. You can find me at booth #1103.  I'm always excited about this event where I always meet so many inspiring artists, see friends and get inspired by all the amazing art and talks. Feel free to come over and say hi.  LINK

Masterclass festival

I will teach a character design masterclass at the Masterclass festival. This is a festival where industry professionals from various disciplines, like acting, ballet, trumpet and more teach masterclasses  to students in front of a live audience. Three participants have already started working on a character design that I will be critiquing in front of a live audience. Here are some of the designs the talents are currently working on :

Podcast

I'm really excited to let you all know that my good friends and fellow artists Tom Fluharty, Jonathan Hardesty and myself are going to start a podcast. The name of the podcast will be 'Three point perspective. In this podcast we'll discuss art, creativity and inspiration. From time to time we'll invite guests from different artistic fields to shine their light on things. We've already begun recordings and I can say we're having a blast. I can't wait to see the episodes go live. I'll keep you posted!

Art update

Recently I've been experimenting with pastel pencils.I like working on smooth surfaces. For some drawings I use animation paper ( Ingram bond drawing pad I've been told this is the paper they use at Pixar, don't know if it's true or not). For others I use newsprint. Newsprint comes in all kinds of varieties, I personally like this one: Strathmore smooth surface newsprint

Some of these drawings will be available for sale at Lightbox expo.

In my last newsletter I showed a few of my 'inksplorations' Over time this became a series of ink drawings, so I decided to publish them in a book. The book will be available at Lightbox expo. After Lightbox expo it can also be purchased through my website, where it is currently available form pre-order.
