hi everyone. things have been very busy.

big thanks to connie for the bird masks.

first off, you can now see chicken cowboy on channel frederator. since CC is finally slowing down in the festival department, I thought it would be cool to share with the immense and supportive frederator community. plus, they've got it up in hd!

here are some paintings i've been doing with blender dog:

Blender dog was inspired by my childhood dog, mickey. He wasn't really a good dog, more of an unrelenting tornado of destruction and neurosis. But man, he made us laugh. And that always made up for all those sticks of butter he stole and ate.

things that batman loves:

giants!

i finally finished boarding dr breakfast.

right before my computer died.

what does a foot wear to a bank robbery?

then he puts on his game face.

I got really busy with work, but i will post something soon. something other than me getting distracted while putting on my socks.

Oh yeah! Chicken cowboy is playing at the new york international children's film festival! You can see it march 13, 20, and 21.

o winter i will best you yet.

if you're in LA, check out animation block party, screening on the 18th.

you can see chicken cowboy.

hi everyone. It's been a busy couple of weeks. lots of work, and I got to speak last week at AENY. Everyone there got a sneek peek of Dr. Breakfast. It was the first time I'd pitched the boards to a large group, and it's always fascinating to hear what plays and what doesn't.

below, here's my contribution to a charity art auction. David LaMattina and Chad Walker at Blue Sky made a documentary about a pen pal program between sixth graders living in Bed-Stuy and orphans in Sierra Leone. The auction benefits both groups of students.

you may recognize the mailboxes from let's make out:

the awesome people at JibJab put let's make out on their website as a valentines day card. So you can send it to people!

It's also still up on youtube:

I've been barely finding time to put a few blender dog illustrations together. here's one:

I'm going to monkey with the scanner settings a little more. watercolors never look quite right on a computer screen. Anyone have any tips?

meanwhile, dr breakfast lumbers toward a complete and awkward first pass.

strange things will happen.

happy 2010! here are some more blender dogs.

little by little.

kurt vonnegut says happy thanksgiving!

seems like captain ahab could have been sneakier:

"I'M HERE TO CALL A TRUCE!"

If you're in texas this weekend, check out chicken cowboy at the lone star international film festival. my pal andrew disney programmed the rad block and is throwing a really great party afterwards. Check out the trailer he cut too:

*edit
tomorrow in austin there's another screening of Chicken Cowboy at Animation Block Party!

chicken cowboy has definitely played more in texas than anyplace else.

blender dog! you are a bad dog!

some train sketches.

whatever normand wants, normand gets.

deer does some laundry.

If you're in indianapolis this weekend, check out the heartland film festival. You can see chicken cowboy on saturday, tuesday, or wednesday.

I'm excited to have my film play there because I remember attending in high school, before I knew I was going to grow up and do this stuff for a living.

If you're in new york, chicken cowboy is also playing next week at hdfest. it will screen wednesday at 9. both screenings will be in hd, which looks way better than youtube.

i started boarding something. this may look familiar. everybody pester me to finish this thing. I'm going to keep it rough so I probably won't be posting much of the boarding process.

Lately I've been trying to bake bread. the results sometimes reward, sometimes dissapoint. But I like this picture:
