Cook with plugs

2012-01-07T15:16:00.000-08:00

Here is a freelance commission i did a few months ago. They wanted a cook with plugs in his ears... so that's what they got.

urinal colored

2011-10-10T17:47:00.000-07:00

Here is the painted urinal background. I'm sure I'll change it a few times before it makes it into the new short... but here it is anyway.

le urinal

2011-10-04T00:11:00.000-07:00

Hello. So i am in the middle of doing a few more Dr. Office shorts, and one episode requires another location. So now I have to break my '1 background' rule, and double location production. Here is a rough and clean version. I call it 'the urinal'

some more drawings...

2011-09-21T12:48:00.000-07:00

Hey internet. I haven't posted in a while, so here's a drawing.

3 more Dr. Office episodes done.

2011-06-05T22:26:00.000-07:00

So the newest Dr. Office shorts are online. A HUGE thanks to Rich Johnson, and Rebecca Bouchard (my lovely wife) for doing the voices. The whole series can be seen here.

Below are the most recent episodes:

2011-02-01T11:02:00.000-08:00

Here is a design i was commissioned to do. They wanted a Zombie with those stretchy ear plug things. So here it is.

Whatever you do, DON'T unravell him.

2011-01-25T18:19:00.000-08:00

I'm not totally sure how this works...

He's got a cold

2011-01-10T16:01:00.000-08:00

2010-11-23T00:58:00.000-08:00

hey! new drawings

blog re-decorating

2010-10-17T14:48:00.000-07:00

I've been doing some re-tooling on the blog lately. I widened the middle, because my Youtube links kept getting cut off in the preivew windows. I had to get into the coding and screw around a bit, I felt like bill gates or something. I also drew up a new logo for the site. Its a furhairman banner. Here's a higher-res version. Drawn in Flash and Photoshop.

calling all 12 year old girls

2010-10-08T18:33:00.001-07:00

This is the title sequence for the re-branded My Little Pony franchise, that I'm currently workign on at Studio B productions, or DHX media, or whatever is is called now. The title sequence was storyboarded by Jayson Theisson, and animated by myself and Matthew Herring and Christopehr Leinonen.

Drawing of a dude for a dude

2010-09-30T20:50:00.000-07:00

I did this drawing for a freelance illustration gig. dude.

new post. old drawing.

2010-09-05T19:59:00.000-07:00

I found this older drawing last week. I thought I'd post it because I kinda like it.

some old gems

2010-07-21T01:40:00.000-07:00

So I got a new computer this week. When I was digging up some old files, i came across these drawings from last year. i forgot about these guys. I haven't given them names yet...

Merger

2010-06-25T00:34:00.000-07:00

This is a piece I drew for an art show at my office (Studio B Productions). It's called 'merger'. I dabbled in some experiments in the past: this, and this. There was a vote and prizes, and I won an I-pod touch! I was pretty excited. So now i have to justify using the word 'app'.

fiverr.com

2010-06-17T00:29:00.000-07:00

This is another thing i got to design for a client. I hope he pays me in i-pads.

2010-04-29T22:23:00.000-07:00

here's another drawing that i did for Fiverr.com.

another fiverr.

Fiverr

2010-03-28T21:22:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone. I have been meaning to do more drawing, and I found the perfect way to force myself to do it. It's a site called fiverr. Its tons of stuff people are willing to do for $5. I was intrigued. So i decided to open a page. I said I'd draw a Furhairman type face for $5. Then i got a few hits today and last night, so I've been busy with that, and it has been forcing me to draw more than i would normally. Here are a few that i cranked out for some customers... Now I have a few bucks to buy some candy.

I think its a dead ringer.

i think i drew him to look more like Frankenberry... but a deals a deal.

and heres another one.

Episodes Done

2010-02-04T10:19:00.000-08:00

Thanks to Rich Johnson for the awesome voice work!

doctor office update

2010-01-10T17:16:00.000-08:00

Here are some screengrabs of 2 of 4 of the new Dr. episodes.

Doctor

2009-12-21T15:09:00.001-08:00

This is the final design for the Dr. He will be the character in the next series of shorts I'm doing. In my opinion, if you have a chin-beard, and a clipboard, you probably went to medical school.

new background

2009-10-23T00:50:00.000-07:00

here is a BG from a new series of short cartoons.

So myself, Jesse Cote, Patrick Dufresne, animated for a short film contest for Nickelodeon. I had to take it down untill we know if we can put it on the internet. But, thanks to Jesse Schilperoort and Norm Kritch for the backgrounds, and to Tony Akworth for the voices!

short film in the works

2009-09-07T01:51:00.001-07:00

This is an incidental character for a short that I'm collaborating with some friends on. I'll have more up very soon, as our deadline is Tues Sept. 8th (gulp).

This is a tale of 2 young travellers on their epic voyage from Vancouver B.C. to Emo Ontario. Will our heroes make it back to tell the tale and enjoy the inflight movie home? Only time will tell in this summer blockbuster from the studio that brought you 'Earl the Hedgehog Motorboats' and 'Reebs Makes Soup'.

Higher res verion >>*here*<<

Teen wolf done?

2009-03-11T01:33:00.000-07:00

Hi, I finally got my home computer back in action, and had some time to finalize all the animation on my 'teen wolf' short. This is a screenshot from one of the scenes. So I hope to have the final movie version online very soon.

...ish.

Major Setback

2009-01-26T19:03:00.000-08:00

so... I spilled a beer on my laptop. Now I have to wait for my new computer to arrive in the mail.

I'll have the blog cooking again in a week or so.

stay tuned...

Some work stuff

2009-01-02T16:03:00.000-08:00

This has nothing to do with my personal furhairman projects, but is still something that I thought I'd share... A few months back myself, and Mike Vatcher animated the intro for a new show called 'Kid vs Kat' for Studio B Productions. Someone posted it on Youtube, so here it is:

Matree-D

2008-11-26T12:18:00.000-08:00

these are some attempts at designing the matree-d. Gonna clean-up and build a working model today. *untill i get the urge to play wii for like 15 hours straight.

More background stuff...

2008-11-24T13:21:00.001-08:00

I screwed around with a few things from the 1st attept. I didn't like the black lines on the original, so I colored the lines and changed the floor, and put some reflections in... and textured the walls a bit more. I also ditched the detail on the stuff in the dining room. This new background will allow the characters to stand out more, because they have a black line around them.

Background Update

2008-11-15T17:40:00.000-08:00

So I fianally got around to whipping up a background for this short i'm doing. This is the restaraunt lobby. I threw in some furhairman portraits on the walls along with a pic of "ten second statue". I may change the colors, but this is the winner for now. Here is the rough sketch, and the clean final.

life painting

2008-11-04T01:06:00.000-08:00

Here are some lifedrawing paintings from the summer. I had been neglecting the blog, so I thought i'd put em up. It was my 1st attempt at life painting. Usually I just use charcoal and chalk, but these are watercolor. These were 30 min. poses.

New Design

2008-11-04T00:50:00.000-08:00

So this is the new design for the pregnant girl. As much as I liked the ragged tired look of the original design, this one leaves more room for facial expressions. ...more to come

builds built

2008-09-17T23:37:00.000-07:00

So, heres some cleaned up character builds. I think its triplets.

back to my roots

2008-08-26T13:37:00.001-07:00

Here is Barry Masonite. Sketched at work...

short shorts update.

2008-08-26T01:39:00.000-07:00

Hey there. So heres an update on whats going on with some cartoon shorts i'm in the middle of making. A new idea for a short came to me a few days ago. It's a "Teen-Wolf" inspired short. The punchline is based on my assumption that everyone has an intimate knowledge of "Teen-Wolf". And lets face it... who doesn't?? If you own a television set and are old enough to speak then you have seen teen wolf. It replays somewhere every few months or so. If you havent seen it, then I encourage you to rent it today.

But the bottom line is that my "teen wolf" short will be ready soon. Voice recording and storyboards are pretty much done. Animation will follow shortly.

Sketch

2008-08-13T21:35:00.000-07:00

Sometimes at work its good to draw a new furhairman. Sometimes an even newer furhairman comes out of that furhairmans mouth.

"The Proposal"

2008-07-21T23:20:00.000-07:00

Hey all,

I've been working on some more shorts. I thought of 3 new ideas for super short shorts. (like daisy dukes!) So I started doing a scene from one of the ideas. This is a clip from "The Proposal" don't blink or you'll miss it.

This was a test run for line wight and flat coloring. I will be recording what little dialogue I need to record next. So keep checking back.

Girl Pants

2008-04-30T20:31:00.000-07:00

Hey people. Here is a screenshot from the storyboard of a short i'm working on called "girl pants". I'm not totally sold on the character design yet, but whatever.

ten second statue

2008-04-26T11:21:00.001-07:00

The last post was a little taste of Ten Second Statue, and the rest of them can be found here

10 sec. statue

2008-03-24T23:43:00.000-07:00

This is not realated to the furhairman revolution. But its still something that I did. Along with my friend Ian Zamojc, we cranked out 8 of these. They are 10 second films involving a peeing statue. Be sure to watch them all, and then e-mail them to everyone you know, and tell them to do the same. Make yourself sound really crazy when you do it too.

Here is the 1st episode that started it all. Currently we are working on the 10 second statue feature film. Keep an eye out for it this fall.

The album is called Frebuary, and the link to the contest website is www.rpmchallenge.com ...anyway here is the album art ruff and clean.

Seeped into my subconscience

2008-01-15T23:52:00.001-08:00

People have said that a few furhairmen that i have drawn seem to look alot like other characters. You can judge for yourself. But any resemblance is strictly unintentional.

This is Ned Churnwater. flash. I don't know why i always draw them smoking...but I do.

This is Stan Redner. I sketched him but havent decided how/if to color him.
So far he's done strictly in flash. I find he sorta has a dog jowells thing, or a wintery type hat (of skin).
