just a bunch of lines and shapes making blah. it's fun sometimes to not have intentions before starting a new picture.

attempting satisfaction...

its hard to be satisfied with life or just ok with it...i think going outside and getting fresh air helps a bit. maybe healthy clean air would be better, an area away from most city places. these are just a couple guys working on that. this is actually one of my goals as well...give myself time to think. cheers!

skeleton ghost

skeleton ghost...i wonder what he was like before?

.........

a lil something...

this is me just having a bit-o-fun. my film is below too...so please take a gander. it's a little small. sorry, i'll try and fix that one. cheers!

OH...MY...GOSH!!!

SO...it has been a long'ol time since I've touched this thing. I am so so sorry to all of you who enjoy checking this dump of a site out. Let me just tell you in brief that this was one heck of a year...SO INCREDIBLY ROUGH!!! As much as I want to go into specifics I don't think I will...for your sake. But, this is my final film from from my final year at cartoon college (CalArts.) I really really hope you enjoy it. Also, check out some of my portfolio work if you want that is on my link called PVose Portfolio. Some of it you may have seen before...

Anyways, CHEERS! Please feel free to leave me a comment, whether it be super nice or super mean one! I hope there's more to show and talk about in the future.

pooptastic!!!

this is a little girl that i was thinking about using for my film. kinda cute which fits great...now all i have to do is figure out what her personality is...what she wants...what she's about...that kind of thing.

clowns! i really like clowns a lot, but with little time i wasn't able to push it to the limit i'd have liked, but i think there's an all right variety of character in these, maybe i'm wrong...i don't know anything...

it's fun time with the sketchbook...

haPPy HollOwEEn!!!

enjoy this here crazy pee wee herman clip. what a great character. represent calarts with an alumni. you guys all have a great, safe, and candy-filled holloween party.

frost fairies...something pretty for once

some fun watercolors for yet another character design assignment. i think i've done a whole lot of dark/ wierd work for this class, so for once i went for something a little more playful and soft.

fun ideas for my film...

these are just a few quick comps i was thinking about for my film. no real thought into the design of the characters or layouts yet. can you guess what the story might be...if you can guess correctly, then you get a grand prize. anyways, cheers!

p.s. the last image doesn't really have anything to do with the story, that was just the drawing i did to build the concept of more. ok, ok.

what???

don't ask! i just don't know what i was thinking. it's kinda different for me. it was fun to do at least. in fact, i want to do more. i think i should take a break from doing monsters and creatures...oh wait...maki's next assignment is a frost fairy. ok, maybe after that one i'll be done for a while. need to start doing more layouts and composition type work...story telling shots. cheers folks!

bunch-o-stuff

mixture of assignments and in-class work for the character design class...cheers!

FIRE

as most of you know, the fires were dominating the landscapes this weekend. hope everyone involved with them are ok. here are some of the pictures of the one closest to where i'm living, and to the school.

this one is just a guy talking on his phone when all of it is going on. good contrast i think...

just a few witches

witches were the subject for the rick maki assignment. these were just rough ideas; didn't put much time in details or more fun stuff, but i still enjoyed it. the whole class had really great stuff. every week i put the artwork on the wall, being a T.A and all, and i find that i never explore enough, or that i didn't have enough time to explore more. dang! i guess that's the point of doing this becuase you need to get torn to pieces before getting better...right? i don't know. cheers folks!

HA HA ha haaaa haha

i'm not even going to say anything. just enjoy...

harmless affection...

this is for you girlfriend. i'd like to do more in the future...go CRAZIER! love you lots.

thank you Mr. Mark Andrews

first friday visitor lecture...i couldn't really think of a better person to start it all off than mark andrews. the guy obviously knows his stuff, which he so wonderfully and impactfully shared with us. thanks mark.

lil somthing

a bit o inspiration artwork i did in a wee bit of time to get my film idea rolling. it could be fun. i'm going for something with more humor this year. by the looks of it, it's far from humorous, but through a more well drafted story, it could be gold. i'm shooting for bronze though...no high expectations.

YO YO YO!!!

so........here. junk work from illustration class. just trying to enjoy the time. i want to take it more seriously but sometimes the annoying pressure to draw this way or that way gets...in the way. i think i do better when i'm not surrounded by lots of peeps. this is a flaw i must fix. oh, and some quick demon designs. i wanted these evil creatures in my film this year, no these ones specifically, but just demons in general...

Oh boy!

it's been a while friends. so i started my last year of school...don't know where i'm going after this, but not really freakin out too much. rather, a few of the many priorities of mine for getting through the year is having a nice film, fun work, three years with my girlfriend, a greater love and relationship with the man himself, JESUS (#1 priority), and good contact with my family. oh, i'd like to be a better friend and humanitarian. art is good, but being an even good-er person is better. cheers folks! enjoy a bit of the cleche', one of my favorite words...
