March Madness

 That's right, even the boys down at MU aren't immune to the effects of the madness!

I had the pleasure of participating in the brainstorm session for this one. Sketching gags of angry/disappointed monster jocks is no bad way to spend an afternoon!

SXSW

Heather and I went to SXSW this weekend and quickly learned the value of having a badge.

Still, we had fun bar-hopping around my namesake city, catching bands and tagging vans.

Just doin' my part to keep Austin weird.

Leper-Con

The long arm of the law is nothing to the cursed, necrotic stump of the degenerating degenerate, Darcy Hansen.

This is a second pass at a design I submitted to Everett Downing's 365 Supers blog, in honor of St. Patty's Day and Ev's recent completion of the 365 Supers project.

The Imp & The Pimp, Part 11 of 11

The final installment in a series of storyboards used as a portfolio to apply for a story position at Pixar.

Joffrey: "I am the King! Kings do not leap from buildings!"

Stark Soldier 1: "Make way, people!" Step aside!"

Stark Soldier 2: "Come 'ere, Lannisters! We'll have your heads for this!"

Tyrion: "Just aim for those bails of hay! They should be enough to break our fall!"

Joffrey: "Why am I even listening to you? I'm the King, and the King does what he--"

SFX: (SLAP!)

Tyrion: "We Jump."

Tyrion: "Looks like you'll get that roll in the hay after all, nephew!"

SFX: (Squish!)

Joffrey: "This is NOT hay."

Tyrion: "Get in the wheel barrow."

Tyrion: "Happy Nameday Joffrey!"

Joffrey: "I hate you."

THE END.

I hope you've enjoyed the series! Can't wait for the ACTUAL Game of Thrones fun to recommence in a couple of weeks. Till then, remember to always pay your debts!

Part ten in a series of boards used as a portfolio to apply for a story position at Pixar. 

Joffrey: "This is the worst nameday ever! When we get back to King's Landing, I'm going to have you thrown into the deepest, darkest dungeon!"

Tyrion: "IF, your grace. IF we make it back to King's Landing."

Tyrion: "You're assuming we escape this blazing inferno..."

Tyrion: "...and somehow circumvent those blood-thirsy Stark soldiers!"

Tyrion: "Though, at the moment, a cool shady dungeon sounds fairly pleasant!"

SFX: (dog barking)

SFX: (dog barking)

Stark Soldiers: "There they are! Up there!"

Tyrion: "I really wish you hadn't kicked that dog."

SEVA Talk

Here's a talk I did last month for the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium regarding creative storytelling. My audience ranged in scope from elementary schoolers to college professors. Warning: I get very loud, so you may want to turn down the volume. For maximum educational value, go ahead and mute me altogether.
