SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE ANIMATION

Hey all, remember about a year ago when I posted something touting the awesomeness of the Scott Pilgrim comic book series? ...No? Well I did.

Turns out that as luck would have it I got to work on an animated featurette to help promote the recent movie adaptation that came out. Now if there has even been something I would classify as a "Dream Project" this would have to have been it. Anyone who knows me in person knows the depth of my obsession with the comic book series.

With that in mind, go ahead and watch knowing that the first 15-20 seconds, the last 10 and a few juicy bits in-between are all animated by yours truly!



FUN FACT: The officially recognized oldest man alive is 114 years old.

Down to Business

So one of the main reasons there has been so very few updates recently is due to the fact that I have a distinct lack of internet at my new Apartment. Oh, did I mention I got a new apartment? I'm living in East Hollywood just a Stone's throw from Titmouse, Being able to bike to work is quite the treat.

What Have I been doing at said studio you ask? After graduating school Titmouse put me to work animating on season 3 of Metalocalypse, which wrapped up a month or two ago, so be on the look out for that one in the near future... I think it is airing at the same time as the new episodes of the Venture Bros... Also, keep an eye open for yours' truely in the season finally... I may or may not have managed to sneak myself into the episode somewhere...


As for the present I have some unexpected time off and will do my best to use it to get some new art done to post here... Such as this!

This is a little something I made for the Titmouse White Elephant back in December, it's a label for the first ever bottle of "Titmouse Tequila." Featured on the front is the Boss man himself Chris Prynoski with a modification of his catch-phrase "I can dig it."
