It contains hand-drawn animated videos, made by me; short absurdist things and more ambitious videos. It's where I live.

Hope to see you there.

Star Wars: The Animated Movie (Teaser Trailer)

STAR WARS: The Animated Movie (Teaser Trailer)


As hotly anticipated as The Last Jedi, if The Last Jedi were radioactive waste, here is a teaser trailer for a video I’m currently working on, STAR WARS: The Animated Movie.

How to present your ideas.

How to present your ideas: these handouts by Disney/Pixar artist Joe Ranft concern the pitching of storyboards, but really, they’re useful to anyone who needs to present their ideas in front of a group of people. Reading these before your presentation–getting the basics–might boost your confidence juuuust enough.

I took these from the great blog, Temple of the Seven Golden Camels.

How to draw comics: some samples pages from Andrew Loomis's series.

Some sample pages from Andrew Loomis’s series on how to draw comics, 1939-1961, concerning perspective and composition. (The changes in font and layout stem from the fact the pages come from different prints.)

I tried to collect the most useful pages, but of course I’m limited to only 10 images per post.

This is a follow-up of sorts of those Disney “how to draw comics” handouts which can be found HERE.

1971 Disney Publications model sheets for Bambi.

1971 Disney Publications model sheets for Bambi. These were used by comic artists working for Disney. I really like the attitude sheet: so well drawn.

Some more Bambi HERE.

And as always, if you want to see more like these, just search for “Disney Publications 1971″ on my Tumblr page.

Production art from to the 1932 Disney cartoon, Flowers and Trees.

Production art from to the 1932 Disney cartoon, Flowers and Trees. It was the first Technicolor cartoon, and went on to win the first ever Academy Award for Animated Short Film.

Model sheets for Uncle Scrooge, the Three Little Pigs, Chip 'n' Dale, and Clarabelle Cow.

A few more in the 1971 Disney Publications series: model sheets for Uncle Scrooge, Three Little Pigs, Chip & Dale, and Clarabelle Cow. “A single tooth in the center of her mouth enhances her smile”, now where do you get tips like that?

It’s true though. These model sheets are all small character design masterclasses.
