---- Been out of the drawing loop for months. Little Miss Carrie my thesis film is engulfing. More in store from it, more cartoon studies and some storyboards. I have been studying the human form before I go back to cartooning. This blog's going to have more art in the next few weeks.

---- Drawing some recent boxing news, Milt Gross animation breakdowns, and a touch of reality with Gordon Parks and Jamel Shabazz. Slowly but surely more new work is coming in the animation and comic department.

2010-02-07T22:05:00.012-06:00

---- Studying some dense movement, healthy discipline from the great Art Babbitt's Goofy. Treat the cartoon figure like a human anatomy study. Straight from the old computer fax paper.

---- The small guy is drawn by Justin Weber, who recently finished a nostalgic cartoon called Juiced and Jazzed. Its like eating a bagful of candy in two minutes.

2009-12-15T12:14:00.017-06:00

---- The film Song of Hiawatha has one my favorite speakers today, Russell Means. Means is one of the members of the Minneapolis born American Indian Movement. I recommend seeing his speeches in person.

And an old ink study.

2009-12-15T11:38:00.033-06:00

---- Studies from the ecstatic Hey Look by Harvey Kurtzman. Vincent Waller of Spumco fame recently directed a cartoon based on the comic. Kurtzman never animated, but his expressions beg for movement.

---- Ignatz...Mickey from Grim Natwick's vault of drawings.

2009-12-15T11:22:00.018-06:00

---- Playing around with a dream. A DBZ visual story done by some of the greats of visual storytelling. Layouts - Akira Kurosawa, pencils - Jack Kirby, inks - Dick Ayers. Kurosawa had amazing painting skills along with his film talents.

2009-12-15T11:12:00.021-06:00

---- Thinking through ink after looking at some Terry Winters paintings. There are moments of naked building infrastructure and then there are just pure abstract moments.

2009-12-15T11:00:00.030-06:00

---- One of two quick value studies [2008] from one my favorite paintings; Thomas Anshutz's The Iron Worker's Noon Time [1880]
