Another rough of the Transylvania Train Depot. This was the first bg rough I did. At that time I was thinking it would have some fall like foliage around it but it was moved to more of a winter alpine location.<br />

Animation is a team effort. When we work hard and do something cool of course we want to get recognized for it. I use this blog as a sort of portfolio but I want to highlight the process and the group effort that the team has put forth on this fun project. I did the rough sketches early on mostly for the board artists to work from but also to set a style direction to make sure the shots stay dynamic. If the roughs are done it helps the board guys and luckily they just dropped these shots right into the final. As I mentioned above Jeff Palm, Robert Harand, Shawn McKelvey and Bill Wray were an amazing team!!! Great work you guys!!!</div>

After I was laid off from Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated in the summer of 2012, I took a needed vacation to Montana. When I got back, I was so done with WB. The low pay and heavy handed treatment of artists, I had enough. Plus after finishing the BEST Scooby Doo series EVER! I had no desire to do another Scooby. So I started hunting around for work and was hoping to jump onto the Mickey Shorts because I was freelancing some background work there but things got delayed and I ended up painting on a Curious George Halloween Special. While there I got a call from WB to art direct a Scooby Direct to video. I politely told them that I was not interested. Susan Ward asked me to at least meet this new director/producer Paul McEvoy so I said I would. Paul was so excited to meet me and had such enthusiasm for the project it was hard to say no to him. When I saw what the story was about, I was in. I am a big Young Frankenstein fan and this was going to be so fun for me. So on my lunch breaks I started sketching out some characters. This Velma is one I did back then and then over the next few months made some other concept sketches for the storyboard artists to work from. The final design which is the top one was finalized by Jim Stenstrum and Colored by Melanie Pava.</div>

These were the BGs I did for this Mickey Mouse Short. This was the first one Disney did so I was asked to come and help out as a freelance painter. It was hard to do at first. I had to take a couple passes on the Cathedral shot but I started getting more confident by the time I did the rooftop shots. the texture layer we put over the the painting and the size of the files made my computer crash several times. I had to go out and buy a more powerful Mac to complete this work. I'm glad this short won two Emmys even though my part in it was small, it was nice to be a part of the team at least in the beginning. The only reason I didn't continue working on this was just timing. I was busy Art Directing a Scooby dtv called "Curse of the Frankencreep" which I was immersed in at the time and will soon be posting work from so stay tuned. I really loved working on that Scooby. Of course I loved Mickey too!<br />

I had the night off from freelance last night so this is what spent my time doing. I had fun. Hope you get a laugh out of it like I did. By the way in case anyone is wondering. I pieced together some of my favorite actors and personalities to make this. I started with someone from the internet that had a pretty good mustache but he was too young looking to be a grandpa so I added Sean Connery wrinkles. Then Karl Malden nose with W.C. Fields gin blossoms, Marty Feldman eyes and Viola!</div>

In case you haven't seen this yet I thought I would post it here. Our friend David Gemmill made this earlier this year. He is a crazy funny board artist on Uncle Grandpa. If you like this you will find some of his humor worked into the Uncle Grandpa series (although nothing sexual and cleaner themes than this). Uncle Grandpa is for kids not for you older pervs out there. David is an amazing talent. There is one show called Leg Wrestle that he and Myke Chilian did that's like this short in the way that there all these crazy funny poses in it. We are still making these shows so it will be a long wait to see them. Hang in there. In the mean time we are trying to talk David into a follow up of Sexxi Batman. Possibly a dance club scene or an encounter with Sexxi Superman? Any suggestions? I'll pass them along. Enjoy!</div>

This is the new show I'm working on now. It premieres Sept. 2 on Cartoon Network. It's stylistically different than what I am used to working on but I think it's super great and am having fun working on it. I am the Color Supervisor on it so I am overseeing the background paint and color models and making sure they work together well. We'll see how it does. You never know about how the public response will be until it's out there. All I know is we are laughing at work.</div>

Hi all, Last year I did some freelance on the Mickey Mouse Shorts over at Disney with a friend Joseph Holt. Here are a couple I did for this one that takes place in Central Park New York. I finally get to see these finished and on Youtube. Unfortunately Disney didn't properly give me credit on this short but these are the ones I did. After it is out, there's not much I can do about it. I did get my name in the credit of the Mickey Mouse in Croissant de Triomphe short. I just want to set the record straight for those who follow my blog. For the rest of the world, I don't exist on this short. Ah human error. People don't realize how important that is to us artists. Some of us will work for free to be part of something as cool as this just for the credit, not me but some people :) Thanks for the the nice Art Direction Joseph! Enjoy.</div>

I did these digital paintings for a Ben 10 short that Vic Cook was producing for Cartoon Network last summer called "Road Trip Rumble". Kenny McGill designed the locations and I painted them. This was a cgi produced short so the over seas studio needed to see what this was supposed to look like with lighting and color. I only did the big establishing shots so the in-betweens were color scripted by Joey Mason. I thought it turned out pretty good. I worked around the clock to finish these because I had a trip planned to Montana that I couldn't miss. There's nothing like a hard deadline to motivate an artist. Good job Vic and everyone else!</div>

Hi Scooby fans! This was one of my favorite shows to paint BGs on. A haunted mansion is classic Scooby. Although on this series we had many other strange places to visit. I still think there's nothing better than the haunted mansion. Check out the whole show. It's called Shrieking Madness with Harlan Ellison. My fave from season one!</div>

I painted these backgrounds for Lynell Forestall who created this short Thunder and Lightning for DC Nation. Lynell and I go way back. We worked on Johnny Bravo together. I'm proud that he got this short and I think it's good. I hope it turns into something for him. Here is a clip of him in an interview talking about it along with Lauren Faust.<br />

These were some backgrounds I painted for the Sword of the Atom shorts in the DC Nation block on Cartoon Network. I was Art Directing on Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated so I had to do these at night usually in one evening except for the Arena which took two. I had to use a lot of lighting cheats in order to get them done fast. Everything done at WB has to be done on the cheap, fast and dirty. I would get the layouts for these and they would say they need them like the next day. I like quality so I would hurt myself working until 2AM to make these look good. In my opinion they look ok. I really only like the green grass one at the top and the dungeon at the bottom. <br />

Hi all, These are a few backgrounds I painted from season one on Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated (SDMI). This was from the Vincent Van Ghoul episode if that wasn't obvious with the posters on the walls. Here's an update on the air date for Season 2, for those of you who are curious. Starting July 30th Cartoon Network decided to air 15 episodes of SDMI Season 2 in 15 days. So every day for roughly 2 weeks you will be able to watch almost half of Season 2. I hope you have nothing better to do. I can't wait to see how that scheduling will work out for the show. It seems weird but might turn out to be brilliant!?<br />

Those of you who know him might like this. Those of you who don't, let me tell you, he has saved my butt on Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated. He is a very fast, talented and meticulous color stylist that I hope will be on my next project after we are finished here. This IS by far the most ambitious show I've worked on in the area of color styling. Every room change or location change and even situation change we have to change up the color and lighting on the characters and models. One of the things that can cost a production a lot of money in creative retakes is having to fix color models over seas. We haven't been lucky but fortunate to be under the retake budget on all the the shows so far on second season thanks to Brian. Aside from work, Brian is a real character. He does a lot of funny poses and expressions that have been imprinted on my brain that I have turned into drawings. I'm a little afraid to post them here cause I don't want to piss him off. I might need him on my next job. I wish I could post more of his work but will have to wait until SDMI second season airs starting in May. Here are some examples that won't give away any new story plots and you can see just on Scooby and Shaggy how much we have shifted the lighting and color. This was in one episode. Be sure to tune in to the second season. You won't want to miss it. Thanks for viewing.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01741646222841910109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22264554.post-32199053446997428762012-03-12T14:10:00.000-07:002012-03-12T20:25:25.967-07:00Bill Wray Lunch<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Lunch with Bill Wray. Sorry, William Wray as he now likes to be called. I like to draw the artists I work with. I have been a fan of Bill's work for at least 15 years. Now we are working together and have become friends. He was moving his head around a lot and smiling a lot more than I depict him here. He doesn't normally look so stern. It's hard to catch the fleeting smiles so I avoid drawing them. I sometimes don't ask people to stay still while I draw them. I want to see if I can get them without them posing. I think I got him. If you don't know him check out his blog here: http://williamwray.blogspot.com/</div>

This was a cool show for me to work on. I loved working at Cartoon Network back then. There was such good talent on this show, it's amazing it wasn't more of a success. At least for me I couldn't stand the main character and was happy whenever he got the crap beaten out of him. I remember Nate Cash was particularly good at doing that in his storyboards. Thanks Nate. Besides hating the main character, Art Directing is hard work. I always get suckered into doing it because they know how power hungry I am. Seriously though it's always the art and the designs of the show that make it worth while for me. These were fun and a joy to work on. Thanks to Dan Krall, Justin Thompson, Fred Gardner and Jim Worthy. The character designs were fun too thanks to Dexter Smith, Tim Cahill and Philippe Tilikete.<br />

Hi All! I know this is kinda old by now but I just found this looking through my stuff. These are keys I did for a title sequence for Scooby Doo: Legend of the Phantosaur. I designed and painted these keys. Dexter Smith, a long time colleague of mine did the designs for the main characters and the animals in the taxidermy room which are really cool. I really liked the song. It sticks in your head and you can't get rid of it. Then you have to listen to the soundtrack of Annie to get it out of your mind but then you are stuck with tomorrow, tomorrow I love you tomorrow.....for the rest of the day. Then you have to go back and watch this clip again. Scooby doo doobody Scooby doo doo.

I have made it a commitment to do art everyday that is not related to my daily job. This makes me happy and helps me to be more balanced as an artist. This is my daughter Lauren as she does her homework in front of my drawing station.

This is another painting I did while living in Montana. All my paintings were painted from life and in one sitting. I think that they have a fresher look that way. Any time I would go back in and rework a painting I did from life it would always wreck the feeling I once had. Now that I work so much in the animation world I see painting as a way to keep me fresh and enjoying art. It brings me back to why I became an artist in the first place and helps me forget about all the stuff that goes on in the big studios.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01741646222841910109noreply@blogger.com
