Some More Gravity Falls Stuff. Color Keys on top and some finished Bg's on bottom.
Layouts by Sean Jimenez.(he has a blog now!)

Gravity Falls!

So, Ive spent the last year working on a new show called Gravity Falls at Disney TV. The first episode just aired a few days ago and I couldn't be more proud of how it turned out. I'm lucky enough to be on the design team with 3 amazingly talented folks. Elle Michalka, Sean Jimenez, and Bill Flores. Ian Worrel is our art director.
Elle and Ian are posting GF stuff so check out their blogs for that. Sean and Bill don't have blogs because they yearn for a simpler time when we chopped our own firewood and drove around in horseless carriages.   
I'll post more as the series starts to play out, but for now, here are a few things from the pilot.
-Some very early color exploration of the Town and the Kitchen. background design by Mr. Sean Jimenez.
-A color key and finished bg from the titles sequence. Story boarded by Alonso Ramirez Ramos, final layout by Mr. Ian Worrel.

Animation test

A test for a bigger project that I've been working on. I haven't really done any animation type stuff since school, it feels great to get back into it!

You need to go to Vimeo to view it larger.

Sing Statistics, Reverence Library

Talented illustrators and independent publishers Jez Burrows and Lizzy Stewert have just released their 3rd book, Reverence Library. The book is a collection of art and short fiction concerning 3 different subject matters. They were kind enough to ask me to contribute a small amount of work for its first volume.

Great job guys!
More info can be found here on the Sing Statistics website.

Stuff from work

Wow, its been a while, haven't had to much time for personal work lately, so I thought I'd post some very random designs from work. Finally accomplished my lifelong dream of drawing a milk carton!

Teen Angst

So in high school my favorite movie was Beetle Juice. Lidia, the sand worms, that weird shrunken head guy in the waiting room.. Man I love that movie.. My second favorite movie was Edward Scissorhands, so when the very talented Seb Mesnard asked if I could do something to celebrate it's 20th anniversary, I couldn't say no. Seb is collecting all the work on this great blog here-
http://scissorhands20th.blogspot.com/
and he's put together an art show at The Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra. The opening reception will be on April 16th. More info here-

I've always assumed that Edward was a Cure fan. Not sure why, just sort of makes sense.

Don't forget the Yuki 7 show is this Friday at the Nucleus Gallery! It starts at 7:00 and goes to 11:00. If you miss the opening the entire show will be up until July 14th.

A poster for Kevin Dart's upcoming book, Seductive Espionage, the World of Yuki 7.
