Scene Folder sketch

I often do a little drawing on the backs of our scene folders here on the Simpsons, just to take a little break from drawing only Bug-eyed, yellow-skinned tube shaped characters all day. So here's something I just drew on a whim, without really planning what I was gonna do. Just havin' a bit of fun!

Convention Geeks

Went to the"Supernatural" convention at the Airport Marriott last weekend with my Fiance Laurie ( She's a Huge fangirl for this show...) and I took the opportunity to field sketch the crowd. An interesting collection of humanity! A gold mine for drawing.

Writers back!

Here's a page from my sketchbook at the animatic meeting at Gracie Films on the Fox lot. I just sketched some of the writers while we were waiting for the meeting to start. I was a relief that they resolved the strike and we could all get back to work. I was worried that it could've gone on for a LOT longer. Whew!

Old Wolvie

This is just a quick sketch of Wolverine. I guess all those years of hard livin' caught up with him...

Just some sketchbook stuff...

I just thought I'd post some of my recent sketchbook observations. People I've seen around lately. I've gotta keep on my toes and keep actively observing everything around me and draw it!

The Geek Shall Inherit The Earth

These are the pencils and final piece that I did for the Hawaii State Comic Collectors Club back in Hawaii. These guys are the ones responsible for turning me into the full-on geek that I am today! before that, I had NO idea that a sub-culture of comicbook fans existed. It could very well have set me on the path that I followed all the way to my career in the Animation industry and in the Arts in general. The piece is a tribute to San Diego Comicon and geek culture, all of the subjects in the drawing are actual people, some are my co-workers, convention goers and other various folks who just wave that freak flag high!

Premiere party celebs

I just thought I would post some pictures of the celebrities I got to meet at " The Simpsons Movie " premiere that I didn't have the time to. Yep,that's "Heroes" Masi Oka, Olympian Michelle Kwan, "Fat Tony" Joe Mantegna, and our very own Matt Groening.
