Turn, turn, turn around, she turns around

Yeah, turn around wooooo-ooo-ooooh (She turns around)

Betty is Back

Despite her shenanigans in this past season, Betty's still one of my favorites. Anyone that hates her and loves Don can take a big ol' step to the left.

Betty is back, y'all.

This post feels a little empty, so here's something I did about a week ago for a former coworker who's moving on to 'Superjail!':

Angry Fellas

Been re-watching the entire series before the premiere (there is so much I had forgotten, GOTTA BE PREPARED). Want to try and do some more before that glorious day arrives, but here's Joan and Roger to start:

Uhh...Happy New Year?! Where the eff did 2011 go, been forever and a day since my last post.

Saw something neat over the weekend, some promos for the upcoming WordGirl movie, The Rise of Miss Power! This will be the first time I'll have seen any of my work on television, so I'm pretty excited. A couple really quick shots from some of my scenes are in the video below, one at 0:07-0:08 and the other from 0:11-0:13 (I'm also creepin' in the crowd shot around 0:05, CAN YOU FIND ME).

The movie premieres February 20th on PBS (not sure if that's 5 pm eastern or central in the promo..will update again before it airs!). Please check it out if you have the chance!

ETA: The movie premieres at 4:30 pm ET on your local PBS station!

...NATALIE!

This was a lil' something I started back in August. Was an exercise I meant to finish off and on within a few days, but put it on the back burner fo' a while and finally finished it up tonight.

Took the sound clip from Episode #92 of Comedy Bang Bang, featuring the lovely Jessica St. Clair as Marissa Wompler.

JUST DOODLIN'. Going to leave this as is, not really feeling it anymore (think the pose is pretty weak).

GOODBYE BEACH WEATHER.

Rocky M. Walsh

In honor of my cat Rocky, who passed away on September 12, 2011. Rocky was the first cat our family ever had, and I can easily say he was the best cat around. I had always wanted a cat when I was younger, but due to my mom's allergies, I settled for 'Kitty Kitty Kittens' and various other stuffed animals. After my parents divorced, my mom played with idea of adopting a kitten, and thus in the spring of 1997, Rocky became a member of our family. He was as great a support system and source of unconditional love then as he was through the rest of his days. He was a part of our lives for close to 15 years, and I'm extremely grateful for every one of them. He brought so much happiness and joy into our family, and I will miss him dearly. No other pet will compare, he was the sweetest and most loving companion we could've ever asked for.

I miss you, Rock.
R.I.P.

Amy, Amy, Amy

Haven't had much time for non-work related drawing, but wanted to do something to commemorate one of my favorite musicians. Tried an Augenblick-ish sort of style (just referenced Callie's 3/4 view), figured it suited her better than my usual stuff.

Found a drawing of Amy on my laptop from '09 (also found a small project from '07 that revolved around her, but that one's way too crappy to share), so figured I'd post it for old time's sake.




GON' MISS YOU, GURL.

Might be going to the beach this weekend, so hopefully this won't be me...?!!

Started out as this guy down here, but want to start practicing putting characters in environments instead of just floating in a blank space. The background is really simple and lame, but it's a start.

ATTRACTED TO US

Inspired by The Lonely Island's Attracted To Us. GONNA BE MY SUMMER JAM, think it's adorable.

freelance-aversary..?

Feel like this is gonna be a busy weekend, so just wanted to make a post to commemorate a year of successful(?!) freelancing!

I started my first ever paid/non-internship position at Soup2Nuts on June 18, 2010, so hooray for animation gigs putting a roof over my head and plenty of take-out in my stomach for the past year. Who knows how much longer I'll last around here, but it's been a great experience so far. Definitely feel more confident in my animation skills than I did this time last year, so here's to getting even better in the future!


Also, I don't think I've ever mentioned it specifically here, but I've been animating on PBS's Word Girl since February. It's very cute and well written, and has a great cast of comedians (including Jeffrey Tambor, PATTON OSWALT, Chris Parnell, Maria Bamford, ETC.). The theme song's pretty catchy, too :)



CHECK IT OUT!
