Philippe and Pierre Logo

I have been working with my good friend Matt Moore on the Philippe and Pierre branding/website. Things are slowly progressing, but nonetheless things are moving along with production. Eight shorts (plus two trailers) are fully storyboarded and animation begins this week. More updates to follow!

VOTE FOR ELEPHANTS!

The Sky is Falling Public Service Announcement I directed is a finalist in a major global warming PSA contest. Celebrity judges, including (Cameron Diaz, George Clooney!), narrowed it down to 20 and now the public determines the winner. If you could pass/post/email this on to friends and family, that'd be awesome.

Please let people know they need to create a free account. It takes 30 seconds to set up...it's a tad annoying, but well worth it. The link to the site is here:

Elephants Win!

I woke up this AM at 5:40 and stumbled over to my computer to check my mail and read the news. I received an email notifying me that the PSA I directed, The Sky is Falling, won an award at this years Best in the SW motion graphics festival.

Monster Mash

A client asked me to draw a picture of a monster for his five-year old son. I couldn't resist and doodled this right away.

Color Studies

I've been trying to nail down the Philippe and Pierre background designs. This afternoon I worked on a couple quick color studies. These took me about 20 minutes each because I'm more interested in the capturing the color and light, than getting anal over the little details. More to come...

Philippe and Pierre...Type!

So, the production of The Idiotic Adventures of Philippe and Pierre is in full swing. I'm working with a small team of monstrously talented folks to produce eight one-minute episodes. I'm trying to nail down the little odds and ends such as type treatments and website crapola. These are some sketches that I whipped up this afternoon. Hopefully, I'll be posting something of real substance soon...but in the meantime, this is all you're getting.

Memories...in the corner of my mind.

Ten years ago, I was a senior in high school and didn't take art all that seriously. I was more interested in being President of my class and other nerdy things. However, it's amazing I still drew as much as I did. I recently came across a pile of old drawings from that time. These images were created between the fall of '97 and spring of '98...talk about different styles!
