Instagram photo collage of the opening receptions for Oootopia: An Artgebraic Tribute to Adventure Time and Hansel & Gretel by Junko Mizuno last Saturday, August 18. I’ll talk about them in more detail on Thursday’s post.
The Fox TV Animation crew visited Rough Draft Studios yesterday, as part of an invitation from “Futurama” producer Claudia Katz to meet visual futurist and concept artist Syd Mead. I was among those in attendance, but to be truthful, I was not aware of who Syd Mead was until I received the invitation in my work Entourage on Monday. As someone who has been wanting to check out “Blade Runner”… Read More »Fox TV Animation crew meets Syd Mead at Rough Draft Studios
Last Friday, July 20, the “Family Guy” crew hit up Pacific Theatres at the Grove for the 8:30 showing of “The Dark Knight Rises.” Some photos from the event: The crew, minus assistant director Mark Covell, who totally ninja’d his way out of this photo like the closet ninja he is. Back row (left to right): Pete Michels, Michael Upperco, Brent Crowe, Jason Weitzner, Shannon Smith, some friend of Shannon’s,… Read More »“Family Guy” goes to see “The Dark Knight Rises”: a photo essay
Last Saturday, I, along with my LMU schoolmate Laura Robinson, attended the opening reception for the All Together Now: A Tribute to the Beatles art show over at Gallery Nucleus. I first heard about the show through Brigette Barrager’s blog, where she posted up “Fab Four,” her piece for the show. I was in love as soon as I saw it. Her depiction of the Beatles in her vintage Little… Read More »All Together Now: A Tribute to the Beatles art show
Went to the “Winged Creatures” late night drawing event at Gallery Godo last Friday. These are my favorite drawings from that night:
Running late on this one, so I’ll keep this short for now. Celebrated the season finales of “Family Guy” and “The Cleveland Show” with a few of my co-workers over at “Family Guy” producer Shannon Smith’s house. I’ll update this with a better description and photos by Thursday’s post. Stay tuned!
Every now and then, a group of models called the Gallery Girls hold a late night drawing salon called Turkish Delights, where artists can draw, eat, drink, and be merry in an Ottoman Empire-inspired setting. The latest Turkish Delights, The Veil Dance, occurred on Friday, May 11, from 9 PM to 2 AM at the Syrup Loft in the Fashion District of Downtown LA. Photography was not allowed unless you… Read More »Turkish Delights VI – The Veil Dance
Went to Turkish Delights VI – The Veil Dance on Friday night. I’ll talk about the event in more detail on Thursday. In the meantime, here are my sketches from that night in the order that I drew them. The first was done on 9″ X 12″ sketch paper, while the rest were done on 18″ X 24″ newsprint, all with a Conté a Paris Pierre Noire HB pencil. Poses… Read More »Figure drawings from Turkish Delights VI – The Veil Dance
There was a lot of drawing, but not much drinking on my part, to be had at Drink and Draw last Friday night on May 4. Considering what I’m about to explain in this post, I probably should have downed way more than just one measly glass of Newcastle Brown Ale that night. If anyone needed it more, I’m very sure it had to be me. My friend Nico Colaleo… Read More »On Drink and Draw and my own insecurities as an artist
On the eve of Monday, April 30, my friends at Titmouse made animation history with the premiere of “Motorcity” on Disney XD. And what better way to celebrate this achievement than to have a premiere party at Cinespace in Hollywood? Before I get into that, though, here’s the basic story of the series for those not in the know: In the future, evil tycoon Abraham Kane has taken over Detroit… Read More »My night at the “Motorcity” premiere party
