I like "Plump" more, but I enjoyed the ride.

Lunchtime Black and White - Cigol

I changed the last panel a few times before posting this. I'm not sure if this is successful or funny or anything.

Plump

Lunchtime Black and White - Hat

Peanut butter and jelly and somewhat wild and cloudy brain sparking... I blame the jelly.

¡ESPECIAL! Afternoon Black and White ¡ESPECIAL!

Lunchtime Black and White - Progess De Mayo

GORDO!

Lunchtime Black and White - ...in progress

Freshman

There's a "Schoolgirl" thread over at The Drawing Board full of super sexy drawings. Here's my contribution.

I haven't been able to get to a "lunch time black and white" this week. But I'm aiming to do one tomorrow. It's been really fun and I don't want to neglect it.
cya!

Adventure Time - Press Ideas

Here are some the drawings I did as rough ideas for Adventure Time Promo/Press art. This was a really fun challenge and I wish I had the time to do even more. You can see these and some more with some rough color by Nick Jennings here on the Frederator Blog.

Lunchtime Black and White - Magic

Had some leftover broccoli with pasta, I believe it's a Munson family favorite.

And be sure to check out Amanda's Lunchtime B&W "Magic".

Lunchtime Black and White - Cool Out.

... welll this one sucks... haha.. I had a seed of an idea when I started, and then it totally went out the window so to speak. Nothing really happens.. which was sort of the idea, after the original plan escaped me... But nothing happening is sort of a bad plan. We'll call this one a visual experiment.. a half baked lunchtime experiment. But I'm definitely having fun attempting to play with the comic language. This has been really fun and a really interesting process.

I think I'm going to stick to a few panels, instead of trying to complete a whole page during my lunch. This was a mad dash from concept, to completion... not something I want to keep doing.

Lunchtime Black and White - Tree

Accidentally swapped salsalito turkey sandwich, and vanilla yogurt.

*** UPDATE *** my girl decided to get in on the action... here ..and she blew me out of the water!

Lunchtime Black and White - Mornings

It's official. I'm calling it "Lunchtime Black and White". Whenever I eat lunch at my desk I'll be posting something.... and saving money. Woo!

OBSERVATION

Some massive inspiration form Amanda, Tom, and TED.

I want to play more games like this. I had a blast.

the sights of Burbank Media Center

Natasha, Tom, and I saw this tasty April fools treat as we were heading out to lunch. At first I felt bad for her, but in hindsight, I think she may have pulled off one of the most memorable April fools "pranks" ever.

And I'm happy that I wasn't alone in witnessing it.

New Year New

So the cat is out of the bag.

I'm no longer working on Chowder. I had a great time working on it and learned a whole lot. I'm really proud of the show and am honored that I was able to contribute to it for the last couple of years. But it was time for me to move on.

I've just started full-time on Adventure Time as character designer, and I couldn't be more excited. I really think AT has the potential to really do some amazing things for animation and TV in general. You can watch the pilot here on youtube. But the show is going to be a little different. So I'm excited and nervous for people's reactions.

You can also follow along with some sneak peeks that will be popping up on the Frederator Blog... which is kind of terrifying for me.

Here's a special pose I did that was sent out as part of the test for potential animation studios.


I hope you likey,
