Ha ha! Silly Fett. You have a helmet on, dummy. Of course you are going to spill.

filth means production and production means filth.

"Filthy!"

Nothing is worth doing unless it makes a mess, and nothing makes a mess like something worth doing.

Illustration Friday: "Signs"

Sign of the times? Maybe. Maybe not though.

Here is the animated music video Chris and I lovingly crafted. All in all it took around 3 months from intial concept to completion. Enjoy.

I love to draw. I love to write. In the end, what I love are stories.

I don't remember when it was exactly but at some point I came to the realization that there was the possibility to write and illustrate.

It was somewhere around the time I picked up Where the Wild Things Are and I saw the four little words, "Story and Pictures by..."

Those four little words changed the course of where I wanted go with what I was doing. They pulled me out of the semi-ambiguity of "I want to be an artist" and crystalized it: I wanted "story and pictures by..."

To make up things and draw pictures of it? I can not fathom something more fantastic.

The two most prominent stories I've talked about on this blog are The Blue Goblet and Jack & Inar.

Many times I have been asked this one particular question. I've been asked on this blog, emailed, and otherwise, "When are these books and stories going to be available?"

I will tell you, fair reader, your wait may very well be over soon.

Look in the coming months for fantastic things.

The Ruin of the Beast // MATRIX Edit

Here's the music video cut to a track from the third Matrix film. The track is called "Neodammerung" and it screams important.

baby?

Yes, we have a baby. He is new and his name is Mortgage. He is very fat and needs lots of money. He is a four-bedroom, 2 bathroom, two car garage kind of baby. There is also a treehouse.

He is nice, but he is a very fat Mortgage.

All of our evenings are wrapped up with this thing and as a result there's been little personal work on my end.

But,

here is a screen shot of a commercial I am working on here at work:

The spy Guy running, carrying the Girl.

updated numbers for today:

The music video has garnered a distinction-- one of the most viewed videos in a day on YouTube. 84, out of, I don't know, a lot of videos on YouTube. In "Music" at least.

And one of the "Most Linked."

I think this is a distinction.

I'm glad.

Here is the fruit of many hours of labor.

A work spanning 3 weeks of animation and several more weeks of development and the making of the artwork used.

Behold, YouTube, here it is.
