A night out

What's this? Two posts in a row?
What can I say, inspiration has shown itself once again.
I recently picked up Amid Amidi's truly wonderful book "Cartoon Modern".
It's everything I could have hoped for and more. I can't put it down and yet I force myself to so that I don't wear it out within the week.
If you like this sort of thing as much as I do please check out Amid's CARTOON MODERN blog.
And if you're interested buy the book at Amazon.com.

In the mean time here's my attempt.
The drawing was done with a black felt tip pen, scanned in and composited onto a swatch of 70's wallpaper.

Run

Run for Illo Friday.

I love the Muppets

One of the few places I have always wanted to work is with the Jim Henson company. Not so much as a puppeteer, more in the design area. One day perhaps...

Opening

Here's the opening for Mystery on PBS.Created and designed by Edward Gorey.
I believe animated by Derek Lamb, Eugene Fedorenko and Janet Perlman.Below that is Tim Burton's Vincent.
Boy I sure wish they made more of this type of thing.Enjoy.

Vincent

Yep.Still here.

I know, I know. It's been a while. A combination of things has kept me from posting for a while. Work mostly. You see there's an old saying "You can't see the forest for the trees". Well that kind of sums up the type of person I'm having to deal with at work. For obvious reason's I won't go into it but it has been a lesson in patience.
I've also been spending time doing development work for the studio I work for so that takes up a certain amount of creative energy. Especially when the project is a little empty.
Add to that an overall lack of inspiration and you end up with no posts for almost a month.

I don't know if anyone is still out there but have patience I will be back and hopefully poting more often.

There are alot of new blogs out there worth checking out which I'll post soon. Till then...
