I was hired by the band Lucky Lincoln to create the art for their new cd (titled the same as the band name). The job was a dream to work on, lots of fun to draw, a creative concept from the clients to start with, and everyone was happy when the job was finished. Yay! Below is the illustration for the inside of the packaging.
I started studying Maya (3D animation software for those who don't know) last week. I have been working through many tutorial to get a grasp of how things work so I can use it to animate a book trailer for my latest book project (more on that later). Anywho, here is a link to a "Playblast" which is a shaded quick render of the animation I just finished. The first step of many. One of the hiccups, or mistakes is, the rotations of the planets around the Sun have ease as a default, causing the planets to slow down as they finish the animation, I didn't realize that 'til I rendered. (And yes I know there are more moons than I've got in my solar system. Expediency trumps accuracy in this case.) Another thing to know is no matter what I did to the render settings, the file was 100 meg. Giant file I know, sorry bout that. Let me know what you think. Don't be afraid to leave a comment.
I just purchased some video converting, and editing software and wanted to try out the mixing abilities. So I took this old animation and added my bicycle horn honk to it. It was very easy, only took me a few minutes. The software is AVS, it's a very affordable alternative to Adobe products, and it's easy to use.
Here are a few of the bunnies I sketched for the nursery paintings. Most of these will not get used in the paintings. I really like the way they came out though, I think I'd like to do a bunny story or a series of bunny stories in the future. So they may get used for that. Anyway, I hope you enjoy these rough sketches.
Here are some more sketches of the characters that are going on the paintings in the nursery. The baby should be here in the next week. The paintings will not be done before then. Click the image to see a slideshow animation of the recent characters. Enjoy.

I used to have a Google AdSense advertisement posted here. Someone told me it was an easy way to generate a little income. It's not easy, and it's no way to generate any income as far as I could tell. And then I found out that Google supports the Orphan Works Act, and I decided I really didn't want to have anything to do with Google anymore. Here's the link to people against it: http://www.illustratorspartnership.org/01_topics/article.php?searchterm=00278
