There’s always a steady stream of new zombie flicks… fine by me, I can’t get enough…  We’re all destined to be zombies.

Summer Vacation!

Wow, the semester is already over… the nice thing about teaching at a university is that you get out at the same time the students do. I have 2 weeks off starting today, then I start a 6 week intensive “Digital 2D Character Animation” Class.  I have plenty of time to put the syllabus together…

Fully rendered… using photoshop & illustrator.  I never found the right venue for this guy.  Just another in a series of octopus drawings.  Who doesn’t want to draw octopodes all the time.

Promoting an animation is tough… especially when you have no idea what you are doing. I have been selected to my hometown Milwaukee Short Film Festival, and have Gizemboob submitted to Ottawa & Anima Mundi. How do I skip to the part where I have a producer and I am back in the studio working on episode II?
