An animated blast from the past. Throwback Thursdays

Sorry for the lack of posts. In the spirit of Throwback Thursdays, here's an old commercial I directed for Cartoon Network. In this spot, Spike the dog and wolf are paramedics for cartoon stars. I really had fun animating that truck.

Noggin Celebrates Barack Obama

Last but not least, here is the Barack Obama spot I did for Noggin/Nickelodeon. I carried over the style I used for the African American inventors clips. If you didn't know enough about President Barack Obama, now you can learn about some of his favorite things.

If the voice sounds familiar, it's because it's the voice of Tyrone from the Backyardigans.
Here are some of my favorite stills from the movie.


This Shepard Fairey poster was my color inspiration for the spot.

JOHNNY 2X4 DOWN BY LAW

I stumbled upon an old animation clip in my files of Johnny 2x4 that I animated some time ago. It actually loops and I added a little music to it. Enjoy!

Beaten Heart

Here's a character I designed over the weekend for a scene in my little short film I'm chugging away at in the wee hours. His hobbies include collecting left hooks and right crosses to the face.



This guy is a double stack of FEAR who gives Beaten Heart the latest updates on what's new in the world of Knuckle Samitches. To the right is his insperation, KIMBO SLICE!!!!!!

Here's the short piece of animation I did for the 48 frames of love contest. It features my main character Yin that I created years ago when I started to get into yo yo-ing and our cat Lilly. Lilly the Cat falls in love as Yin woo's her with his heartwarming yo yo trick for valentines day.

Oh, and if you've ever wondered how Yo Yo's are made, check out this cool clip I found of the YoYo factory in Arizona. Edited to the tune of the Chemical Brothers (I love this song)



...And yes, the YoYo really does float.

A brief summery:
I don't know about everyone else out there, but I hate going out in that cold, snowy weather. To see those die hard smokers out there braving the cold on a dedicated smoke break always gives me a good laugh. This one's for all you smokers out there taking your winter drags, I see you. Be Cool, but don't catch cold.
