On the Drawing Board- 2/16/10

Things are slowing up a little for me right now. Just three projects in the works right now:

• Animated movie storyboards– I did a few storyboards for the now defunct Mike Jones Animation Studios here in the Twin Cities, but that was years ago. After designing several animated characters for director Ray Griggs‘ upcoming film project, he tapped me to storyboard the four animated scenes in the movie.
• Private commission– If you are one of the many people who have written me over the years asking if I do private commissions and I have given you this answer, please don’t be angry. This was requested by a colleague whom I greatly respect as a gift for a celebrity friend’s 50th birthday… and I could not say no to her.
• Workplace poster– a rare one with a caricature in it! Here’s the pencil rough:

If there is one thing I really hate drawing, it’s bicycles. Just ask Stephen Pastis about drawing them. We all wish we could draw bicycles as well as Rick Kirkman.
