The Happy Life of Thom Glum

My friend Jason Reeves has gone and written and illustrated a great childrens book called 'The Happy Life of Thom Glum".

Self published through Lulu's Press the description of the book is as follows...

"With the help of a very small friend a glum man named Thom finds happiness through giving."

Very well done and certainly worth a look.

Mr.Reeves has many good ideas which I hope follow in Thom Glums footsteps.

Now what indeed...

6AM

When I was a kid there was usually a Saturday morning ritual. Get up as early as possible creep downstairs get a bowl of Frosted flakes ( or the cheaper alternative...Corn Flakes with massive amounts of sugar) and turn on the tv to watch 6 hours of cartoons straight.
The good cartoons usually started around 7AM. For some strange reason now forgotten by me, but since realized by my own children, I would get up at 6Am. Sometimes 5.
Now there were only two things on the television at that hour.
Professor Kitzel.
And Tales from the Wizard of Oz. (Often followed by The New Adventures of Pinnochio).
I've done many a search to find clips from this series but have always come up empty.

Until now.

Thank you You Tube.

It's been a while since I've posted a link to anything inspirational. So, without further ado check out Julia Rothman's blog on inspirational books called "Book by it's cover".

New year, New blog

I'm not sure if this is a New Year's resolution but it's something that's been perculating in my noggin over the last couple of months.

I'm going to attempt to create my own series of shorts. They will be, by necessity, fairly simple but hopefully entertaining.

I have created a new blog which I will make available shortly. I hope to showcase development art as well as the shorts themselves once completed.

First up will be animating the title.

Stay tuned for further details.

In the mean time here's a little test colour key, a sample of what's to come.
