My last post was on the future of story - well, John Kahrs is delivering a vision of the future of animation with this! Premiering in Annecy this year -

THE FUTURE OF STORY

The other night I thought - "what would the story room of the future look like?" and then decided to draw it up. - I'm posting this so the future can look at it and say " har har! he thought they would STILL be using actual story artists!.... har beep beep boop har."

I like to watch videos predicting the future -

Here's Tom Sellick predicting the future back in 1993 -

I asked ChickPea what she thought of the future and she said, "it's not what it's all cracked up to be. The best time is right now - can you get me another beer?"

DRAWING CLUB - G.I. JOE

Went to the Drawing Club last night where the theme was G.I. Joe. Watching the cartoons projected on the wall brought back some memories. They're some strange characters in those series! Zartan and Barbecue are probably my favorites.

Something really odd that I noticed I do now is when I draw, I draw everything in layers? I'm coming home with a huge stack of papers - I guess working primarily in Photoshop has influenced the way I draw on paper. I have different parts of the body on separate layers as well as backgrounds and writing. When I got home last night I accidentally dropped all of my drawings - it took me a while to figure out which drawings went with each other. Curse you photoshop! Anyways, here are my drawings from the session: yo joe!

I'll always love this:

CARICATURES 2012

Here's a selection of some of the caricatures I submitted for the annual caricature show at work -

FERDINAND PORSCHE - Dec 11, 1935 / April 5, 2012

I grew up around the 911 and Porsches in general. They have such a strong resonance with my childhood so I was sad to read of the great designer Ferdinand Porsches passing today. I consider the 911 to be one of the greatest car designs still to this day.
