Over on the Aniboom site, Sesame Street is having an animation contest to create a short cartoon for kids that is either educational, has a pro-social message, or is a recreation of the famous pinball song. So, Bob Harper and I decided to submit a fun little short called “The Letter M” with Bob directing and animating, and myself creating the character designs. Our friend Dave DiMatteo did the audio design and music, and Eric Jenkins did the narration.

If you have a moment, please click on the image below and help rate our short:

Also, here are the original designs for the short:

Thanks everybody!!

Zoo more regularly with my buds, making me realize I need to draw animals much, much more! Here are some of the pages from the ol’ sketchbook:

Thank you to everyone who is still coming by to visit my little blog here!

As some of you may know, I’ve taken some time off from the studios to work on personal projects, and I plan on updating the blog much more often with new art, progress of my animated short film and other projects I’m working on, and just random cool stuff in general. I appreciate all of the support everyone has given me and the kind comments you’ve left on my various sites, and my goal is to keep this blog as the main hub for all the fun craziness that will be the next couple of years. WOOHOO!!

So, in the meantime, here’s a quick doodle for ya!
