Sunburn Serenade character designs + big news






Here's some more "Sunburn Serenade" rough design, + an opportunity to announce some exciting news that Jim Valdes and Scott Parttridg have joined the team officially under the title "Client Engagement," meaning they will be marketing and selling my work as well as assisting in creative brainstorming and client contact. They are good friends, great people, and super hard working, and are helping to launch my work onto an international stage. I am truly blessed to be surrounded with such talent and tenacity:)

Sunburn Serenade!






Here's some fun artwork from the production of "Sunburn Serenade," a 2:30 song styled animation about how not to get a sunburn. I should pay attention to my own work, apparently, as I'm nursing one now!

These characters were part of a collection created for the animation by myself and the Mighty Miah Alcorn who's talent is something absolutely out of this world. He and I have a great time teaming up on projects and the result is always super quality and really entertaining. The song is by Mike Sexton and Joel Momberg of All Children's Hosptial, who's incredible talent in songwrting has me working with them on another project that I shall soon be able to reveal!

Red Bull FLUGTAG WINNERS!!






Tampa smashed the record for number of people in attendance for their Flugtag event. 1200,000 people came out on a blisteringly hot day to watch all manner of crazy, zany, costumed characters take flight (or try to)...and speaking of smashing:)

We absolutely annihilated the field of competition with the third farthest Flugtag flight of all time at 120 feet!! (The closest, second place finish was something like 20 feet)

We took home the winning trophy and mad respect from what looked like 1,000,000 people from the top of the flight deck.

Check out the pix and our inspiration, the one and only "Hoff." Thanks to Keith, Kev, Dave, Chris and Bobby..and all the Tampa Baywatch fans (bully with the bullhorns!) who came out to support us. Truly our 15 minutes of fame!
