NEW COMIC ANTHOLOGY: SUPERTALK

I was invited to contribute to a new comic anthology:SUPERTALK. This gave me the opportunity to make my first memoir type comic. It's just two pages but It really packs a punch, or not! I spent five wonderful, action-packed years in Chi-Town attending The School of the Art Institute. I was very young and was introduced to the world of fine art at a very impressionable age. I'm happy to be making comics now that I'm old and stubborn.

DEXTER COMIC FUN!

Being a cartoonist, I was encouraged by the directors of Dexter Early Cuts to approach the images for animation as comic panels, so after the job was done I couldn't help myself. I had to make comic pages out of the art.

Below are a few of the pages and a cover. You can see the complete comic at my website comic gallery.







ENJOY!

DEXTER EARLY CUTS: ONLINE

The animation is complete. You can see it above or also at the main website here http://www.sho.com/site/dexter/earlycuts/home.do I made a total of 101 drawings to be animated and learned a hell of a lot from this job. I think the best think that came out of it, other than getting the opportunity to work on something related to such a cool show, was I worked out a new style specifically for this project - Lots of photo reference, a particular line quality, and color palette. All this has already served me well as I've moved on to new projects.

Working on Dexter was a lot of fun and also a challenge. Considering my work went through lots of hands- animators, directors, producers and finally Showtime, it changed quite a bit from the original art to the final animation. It was great to see some of the scenes exactly like I imagined and others didn't really hit the mark. Overall, it was a very good experience. It was great to be working on the same project as Kyle Baker and Showtime did me right by not only giving me an awesome project, but also the people I worked with were really nice. The interview was awesome and they even sent me all the season DVD's in the mail!
