Wind Waker Link Roll

I'm sick today and replaying Wind Waker cause it cheers me up so much. This is a tribute to the most satisfying Link roll in any Zelda game

Erin Esurance Fan Art

I was drawing jump kicks yesterday. I never really did many action poses like these in my comics. That needs to change. That turned into this cause I was talking to Carly about Erin Esurance:

Foreshortening's mad wonky. This time, I did the sketch in Flash, cleanup in Photoshop, vector trace in Illustrator, color in Flash, and then tweaking in Photoshop. Convoluted, but I wanted to do a completely digital drawing because I recently upgraded my setup in anticipation of doing comics/animation again and it was fun. Gave me a lot of ideas for changing the way I do things.

As for Erin herself, not only is it just a great design, the commercials are just fantastic. The designs and staging are always really clear. The animation is efficient- it's almost completely anticipation and reaction shots- sparse, but it doesn't tell more than we need to know. Ghostbot has more Erin stuff. Talented people.

I had a hunger for cartoons this morning and I started watching Dexter's Lab episodes on Youtube.

Some of my favorites:
Mock 5
Aye Aye Eyes
Decode of Honor
G.I.R.L. Squad

Really cool direction. Wish I could work on cartoons as free-wheeling as these. Alright back to work.

The phrase "deer poop" was coined by yours truly some 2 years ago. Or maybe 1 year ago? I forget which. Anyway this was some girl on the bus who was talking really loud.


This is my dog. I spent the weekend at my parents' and I hung out with her most of the time.
