Dustin's Goalie Mask

Here's the paint job on Dustin's mask. It supposed to be reminiscent of a big rig truck, since the team name is the Gear Jammers.

Some...ahem...Horrible artwork. Get it?

So...a number of months ago I was hired to do some artwork for the stage production of Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog here in Calgary. (Great show, btw.)

This is the final version I sent them..



You can imagine my surprise when I saw the posters for the show. Have a look for yourself.



Notice a difference? Oh well. It's been said that "in this business of show, you have to have the heart of an angel and the hide...of an elephant." I'll get by.

No' mo' Coco.

I got an interesting e-mail today.

Apparently, RGS Productions didn't want my Monkey News video up...after 3 months. I went on youtube and noticed that a number of the Monkey News animations have been removed due to copyright claims by RGS Productions...except for one guy whose videos are still up for the moment.

RGS Productions (I'm assuming this stands for Ricky Gervais Show) apparently feels that mediocre fan-generated animations are too much of a threat to their cable show.

It actually makes me think that Ricky Gervais (and the rest of them, I guess) are a bunch of dinks but, what can you do? It is their copyrighted content, after all.

Oh well, it got up to 7000 views in those 3 months it was up so that's something, right?

Now, let's all go and write a protest e-mail to HBO and Ricky Gervais.

Later.

Moderates Aren't Sexy

A drawing I did for a class.

The project's theme was Nature/Culture and this is what I came up with.

Make of it what you will...

An art school item...

What's this? Two posts in two days? Maybe this blog isn't dead.

In keeping with the supposed theme of the blog, I am going to put up some work I've done in class.

This is a lightsabre hilt I made in my Jewellery and Metals course.

If you're hoping it's full-size, you're gonna be gutted...it's only about 10 cm long.

I'm also in the process of making a pair of Death Star earrings with a display rack. The brass version should be done sometime this week.

Something for the pounders...

Found this last night...I think you'll enjoy it.

Unless your a dumb rookie.

PS. There'll be a few more things to show in the coming days, I think...I just don't have time now.

Some super-babies...or toddlers...

Thought I'd post a couple of pictures from the past year...they have a theme. See if you can guess it. You can also see if you can guess who they are...that might be more challenging.

I also just wanted to write something that might prop up this anemic blog a little longer. I have started my next semester and I have a few more studios now that will produce some visual works for me to put up...whether that increases the view count is questionable but there will be more stuff to look at.

I'm in a jewellery and metals course so I hoping to make some pretty cool pieces there.

By the way, for those of you who know the importance of view counts, the Monkey News animation I did has fetched over 1700 views so far. I was hoping Ricky would spot it and mention it in his blog but I'm not so sure that will happen.

Well, I think I've written enough about myself for one night.

I am out!
