Dave Smith!

I just found out that talented fool Dave Smith has a blog called "It hurts...Always"!! WTF? Apparently he's been doing it a while so I'm just letting you know if you didn't already. But you probably already know.

He directed this awesome short that didn't get picked up. Fools I tell you! FOOLS!

First Drawing of 2008


Here's my first drawing of the new year. Did it on the 1st for my kids Science Night flyer at their school. It's all about the science of gross hence the gross fly. Thinking about doing a book with the fly. Coming soon!!!

Chippy and Loopus Deluxe....I guess.


Hey everybody!!
Back in July of 2005, I was fired from Sony for reasons I can't discuss legally. I started working for Pixar in October. In that 3 month span of unemployment, I worked in the yard, planting roses and whatnot, read books, cooked. I also befreinded a syndicated comic strip artist named Brian Basset, author of the syndicated comic strips "Adam at Home" and "Red and Rover".
He stumbled on my blog purely by accident and liked the scribbly little comic strip I drew. He asked me why I hadn't tried to do it professionally. "You mean besides all the swear words?" I replied? He said the characters were strong enough that I could probably develop a feature without swearing. I was able to draw up a few samples before I got swept up in moving and Pixar. I'm still working on this. I fully intend to make this a syndicated comic strip someday. Below is the "Safe" version of the very first strip I ever did.
