His genius idea of doing self portraits resulted in an awesome piece that needs to be seen in person to fully appreciate it's art. It's actually on a laminate and secured to the glass with a paper backing so it appears to be floating. I didn't totally understand when Chuck was describing his process as I was preoccupied with the piece's glory. Thank you Chuck. I love the self portrait.<br />

I'm back with an Art Trade. This one took a while because of the Holidays, but also because it was a difficult one for me. When I finished my last Art Trade a coworker named Chuck Duke (Greatest name ever) saw the Trade happen and he wanted in. I asked Chuck what he wanted to do and his reply sent me off excited and nervous. He said, "Let's do self portraits and then trade." Great idea Chuck. Now how many of you have drawn yourself? It's hard right? Anyway, flash forward to now and here is my finished piece:</div>

Chuck is still working on his self portrait, but the great part about Art Trade is: There is no deadline. I'm tingling with anticipation. I can't wait to have a self portrait of Chuck hanging in my house. </div>

<br />
I've come up with a pretty cool idea (yes I'm bragging). In order to have more original art in my house I've started an Art Trade. What is an Art Trade you ask? Well it's when two artists trade original art made specifically for that person. <br />
<br />
My first choice was my coworker Niketa. She did an art piece for an animator at work and I really liked her style. I asked her if she'd be willing to trade. She agreed!<br />
<br />
Here is the piece I did for Niketa: <br />

This time I was determined to get it right... until I started trying to find a place on a dinosaur for 10 arms. 10! In my infinite wisdom as an artist I managed eight arms and two legs. That adds to 10. Guns in every hand. Here is the next round:<br />

As his father I knew this was not true, however I played along to see how far he'd take his story. He proceeded to tell me all about the horror movie called "Ninja Dinosaur". It's the move where the good Ninja Dinosaur fights the evil half man half bull, or ManBull as he's called. The Ninja Dinosaur fights ManBull to protect the people. Most of the movie is them fighting. Cut to lunch that day and I start sketching because these characters sound fun. So I throw around some shapes and get excited about showing my son his creations. Here is the first pass at Ninja Dinosaur and ManBull:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"ManBull doesn't have guns. He shoots laser balls from between his horns."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"They kind of go like this (He waves his hands over his head wiggling his stubby fingers) and make the laser ball then shoot it out. (Big explosion noise from him)."</div>

This last Friday night (The 4th of May) I gave a talk to animation students at the Academy of Art University. <a href="http://bachynski.tumblr.com/">Lana Bachynski</a> approached me at the last<a href="http://www.reelfeedback.com/"> Reel Feedback</a> Reel Review Night and asked if I would talk to her animation group <a href="http://aauanimationclub.blogspot.com/">"Tea Time"</a>. I assumed it was something like 5 students, but it ended up being over 30. And, I was told that it was during finals week they usually have more people! These are some dedicated students. If you are a student at AAU, I recommend joining <a href="http://aauanimationclub.blogspot.com/">"Tea Time"</a> and learning more about animation. They do group critiques, have speakers from the industry, and gatherings to discuss animation. It's a great group and I met a lot of awesome people who are fired up about animation. Next week they are having <a href="http://www.jeandenis.net/">JD Haas</a> speak. If you don't know JD you should check out his <a href="http://www.jeandenis.net/">blogs.</a><br />
Here are some spots to check them out:<br />

<a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/240556132704355/">http://www.facebook.com/groups/240556132704355/</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Below you will find the outline to my talk. I figured I'd post it for those at the event in case they missed something. Also for those that just want to check it out. Somethings may not be clear in outline form, but feel free to ask questions in the comments if you so desire. I'll answer what I can.<br />
<br />
The main idea of the talk was "What happens after you graduate?". <br />

That's right. Tonight's the night. Come on down to <a href="http://www.lanesplitterpizza.com/">Lanesplitter Pizza</a> in Emeryville for some pizza, beer, and conversations about animation.<br />
<br />
The Review Board for tonight will be professionals from Tippett Studio, ILM, Pixar and Massive Black. Have you seen a movie in the past year? These guys probably worked on it. <br />
<br />
Come on down even if you don't have a reel to review. You'll meet a lot of great people and probably learn a thing or two.<br />

"Ted" is the project I'm currently working on. The director, Seth MacFarlane, released some footage and this poster at SXSW this past Sunday. It's good to see the marketing machine warming up because I think this is going to be a fun movie. Here's an article that talks about the film: <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2012/first-poster-for-seth-macfarlanes-raunchy-teddy-bear-comedy-ted/">Click On Me.</a>jbr0wn6http://www.blogger.com/profile/08844881915190950109noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865430039346903507.post-52976508910804007552012-03-08T21:23:00.000-08:002012-03-08T21:24:10.851-08:00Disney Off Set: Way off setThis was a challenge from <a href="http://drawaholics.blogspot.com/">Drawaholics</a> to draw a Disney character off set.

It's time to start drawing again. I've been pretty busy working, but I'm now finding some time to do some sketches. This drawing was inspired by another website that I'm a part of, but have been a part from for too long: <a href="http://drawaholics.blogspot.com/">Drawaholics</a>. This is my interpretation of Hansel and Gretel.<br />

With so few posts about the gift I've created I'm sure you doubt I was able to finish one. Well I did! However I was quite forgetful about documenting the process along the way. My camera seemed to be at home when I remembered to take a picture or I'd forget to snap a shot even with the camera in my pocket. Anyway here are a couple of "In Progress" shots with images of the final piece down below. I'll update tomorrow with pictures of the recipient of the gift while holding the final product I like to call "Ed Wood".<br />

There was a HUGE turnout at Lanesplitter's in Emeryville for Free Reel Review Night with <a href="http://www.reelfeedback.com/">Reel Feedback.</a> No kidding, we reviewed more than 150 reels in four hours! The place was packed and I think I only stopped twice in the four hours only to use the restroom. The folks who came were fired up and so was <i>The Review Board</i>. <i>The Review Board</i> consisted of Hans Brekke (Founder of Reel Feedback and lead animator at Tippett Studio), Tom Gibbons (Animation Supervisor at Tippett Studio), Miko Coedel (Senior Animator at ILM), Erik Kling (Animation Supervisor at LucasFilm Animation), Pete Kelly (Lead Animator at ILM), and myself. It was amazing. It was electric. Thanks to everyone who made it possible and thank you Hans for including me in such and awesome event. Here are some pics taken by Jimmy Almeida who not only took pictures, but brought us beer too! AND he can animate!<br />

Here is the poster (Click on the poster to see it bigger) and a link to the event. And if you didn't already have incentive to go, I will be one of the reviewers... oh. Not helping? Well come anyway and enjoy some pizza and beverages and talk animation with some awesome people. Hope to see you there.<br />

I've made an "Aggravation" board game for my old man for Father's Day, I've cut some wood trim for my windows, and made my own "<a href="http://www.cornhole.com/">Cornhole</a>" boards but that's about it. Square cuts, nothing too out of the ordinary. Well now with the help of my good friend Blair Clark I'm learning how to make all kinds of cuts! What am I doing with all this new knowledge? So far it's looking like a pile of wood pieces and some random sketches. Hopefully later this week I'll have more to show for my new learned skills. Stay tuned.

It is called "The Tippett Studio Secret Santa Gift Exchange". I know most of you are saying "We have one of those at our company too." And I'm sure you do... but maybe not like this. Rumor has it the original Tippett Studio Secret Santa Gift Exchange happened decades ago when none of the artists had money but were good at creating art (Not much different today, but you get the point). The idea was spawned that an artist would draw another artist's name out of a hat in the month of October. Then they would CREATE a special gift to be given at the Tippett Studio Holiday Party with out that person finding out who made the gift. Hence being their Secret Santa. This still holds up today. Every year people volunteer to be a part of the exchange in October, draw names and begin probably the most stressful art project of their career. I've been a part of the exchange twice. The bar for the gifts is set so high that I can't possibly do it every year. When someone receives a Starship Troopers maquette that looks like them with bullet casings and dead warrior bugs to boot you suddenly start to wonder if your silly attempt at a goofy pun holds water. The answer is probably no, but it's damn fun to try. And this year I'm doing it. The Holiday Party will be held on December 17th and the count down has begun. I'm not 100% sold on what I'm doing just yet, but I have my person selected (Can't tell you who it is or they might figure out it was me) and my goal is to keep you updated on a weekly basis. This blog has driven me to accomplish a lot of things and I'm hoping it will push me to finish the project I'm planning. Wish me luck and next week I'll, hopefully, have some images to show!jbr0wn6http://www.blogger.com/profile/08844881915190950109noreply@blogger.com0
