Still one of my favorite Jay Ward creations (corny jokes and all) All of the character designs and villain concepts were so fun and pleasing to the eye. I use to run around as a kid clucking to the Super Chicken call. Funny thing is, when I see cartoons like this, I can taste fruit loops (weird I know)<br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dAHlGeVGp-4" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" width="480"></iframe><br /><br />OH!

I'm on this WB kick for this month, so I might as well roll with it. When I was animating commercials for Cartoon Network, I was the go to guy to animate Porky Pig. He is hands down the hardest character to animate. Stuttering made for a lot of accent and anticipation poses along with keeping track of lipsync. Below is one of my favorite Porky episodes.<br /><embed width="450" height="366" src="http://www.220.ro/emb/o3owfMiLU8" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" ></embed><br><small>Vezi mai multe din <a href="http://www.220.ro/desene-animate/" target="_blank">Desene animate</a> pe <a href="http://www.220.ro" target="_blank">220.ro</a></small>SACKShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12324654342520905412noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10415661.post-10192741461173871072011-02-23T18:36:00.000-08:002011-02-23T18:58:36.920-08:00THROWBACK THURSDAYS 2-11<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrL25YuD46ePys6PD_7BAo7PlJhH14jEAYTIarGhQLJ34sek5kt3S_rEelOo7dxP3uynvK58tCJOeWgPsedFrerFuIts6i289XJxioXeFD1Q20NznlSwdxJIVGsQG7SNzV_-p9rg/s1600/Ariba.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrL25YuD46ePys6PD_7BAo7PlJhH14jEAYTIarGhQLJ34sek5kt3S_rEelOo7dxP3uynvK58tCJOeWgPsedFrerFuIts6i289XJxioXeFD1Q20NznlSwdxJIVGsQG7SNzV_-p9rg/s400/Ariba.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577079807772799298" /></a><br />Well folks, it looks like we're back again with another Throwback.

The books have finally arrived. I am so so grateful for those who have supported me thus far. Without you all this would not be possible. These books look fantastic. <a href="http://brandstudiopress.blogspot.com/">Brandstudio Press</a> did an amazing job on the printing. The production of this book was a dream come true for me. With the aid of my super talented friends who helped me out along the way, this book is a true testament to my creative vision and showcases what I'm truly capable of. I'm living proof that anything is possible. This first run of the book is limited to 1000 copies and is sure to become a collectors item. It's packed with 40 full color pages of wonderful artwork by yours truly. The eyepopping text & design by <a href="http://danisgood.com/home.html">DanisGood</a> is sure to attract. And it also has a special forward by the <a href="http://stevebrownismyhero.blogspot.com/">U.S. Yo-Yo Master Steve Brown</a> The story is fun and enjoyable for all ages. So what are you waiting for?

I am so so grateful for those who helped contribute. We couldn't have done it without you. I want to thank all of my dear friends, family and those of you who believed in this project as much as we did. It's such a blessing to have people like you in our corner. I am so elated right now. I can't believe we did it! Just to let you know, any additional funds we raise will be used to take our book to conferences and conventions. I will be putting in our print order for the book next week and I will keep posting updates on the process. We really appreciate all of you so much for your help in making this dream come true. <br /><a href="http://kck.st/b61cmV"><img src="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sacks10/yin-the-master-of-yo-project/widget/card.jpg" border="0"></a><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aL97qSlXuDQ?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aL97qSlXuDQ?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A LITTLE DEVELOPEMENT ART AND BACKSTORY</span><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='480' height='295' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzLSuFAJ_MborGIOSFGMrbi4eeTy4siFzO7LHR8NiK8V8CV2kK3k_lpVQOr4iEQ7-92VTpxsomBgJ8' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />CHECK OUT THESE YO-YO MASTERS WITH THE NEW G5 YO YO!</span><br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jF-9XM94oLE?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jF-9XM94oLE?fs=1&hl=en_US" width="480" height="295" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>SACKShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12324654342520905412noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10415661.post-55216142866378101342010-08-11T09:33:00.001-07:002010-08-11T09:38:46.771-07:00SACKS10 workspace 2010<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sacks10/4879897843/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/4879897843_aebd64efee.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sacks10/4879897843/">SACKS10 workspace 2010</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/sacks10/">saxtonmoore</a>.</span></div><p>Click over to the Pixel Pirate Studio Blog to get a peak at my workspace.<br /><a href="http://pixelpiratestudio.blogspot.com/">PixelPirateStudio</a><br />Don't forget to click the follow button to keep up with my current works.SACKShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12324654342520905412noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10415661.post-15177195972505858422010-06-07T12:41:00.000-07:002010-06-07T13:09:34.597-07:00Celebrating Explorers who've made history on Nickelodeon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRaXzGOxqP31spWULaHzulqzUNaMg6V9-hey2q0Jikee349gtkY_pPyre0PJn2J48zJN44rcidscITT6HsXSUOjSjKSMmIr8c1zhV_J41oJ0GHegi41kVOOeMEZZvNRBJdl3WsNw/s1600/HISTORYARAMA3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRaXzGOxqP31spWULaHzulqzUNaMg6V9-hey2q0Jikee349gtkY_pPyre0PJn2J48zJN44rcidscITT6HsXSUOjSjKSMmIr8c1zhV_J41oJ0GHegi41kVOOeMEZZvNRBJdl3WsNw/s400/HISTORYARAMA3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480119427315498626" /></a>
<br />This is a postcard I designed (above) to celebrate the new explorer spots my studio animated now airing on Nick jr. These spots were done in the same style as the Black History Month interstitials that I've posted about here before. I had a to of fun illustrating these. I get a lot of kids from my childrens school who have said they've seen these spots. It's a good feeling to know that your work is not only being recognized, but educating as well. Watch Nickelodeon to catch the actual interstitials on the famous explorers below.

You can get your little loved one a copy now by clicking on the image in the book scroller above, or do a search on Barnes and Nobles or Borders books. The book really stands out from other Valentines books because of it's bright blue color. I've posted some sketches and page samples below. Feel free to leave comments as well.
