Calculating The Joys Of Tappa Tappa Tappa!

Quick little weekend doodle as we soon say fare-thee-well to the company's number-crunchin' accountant guy, Ken.

Color Me Purple

So this self-caricatured mess - illoed circa 2010 - has no actual reason for its existence. I just DID IT!

At the time, I was animating a short 45sec movie and, I guess, I needed a creative distraction and barfed out the below:

Beware The Birthday Banshee!

Originally penned in 2011, the Birthday Banshee creeps up to its victim on the night before his/her birthday, lights the Four Candles of the Birthdayocalypse atop of a clumsily-made baked slab, and eerily stares at said victim… and stares… and stares… and stares some more until he/she wakes up to an extraordinarily exhausted bloodshot (almost comatose) banshee at the foot of the bed - by that time, the long-extinguished candles would’ve burnt off the banshee’s birthday hat and created a new layer of candle wax over the baked slab. Happy Birthday.

Give A Hoot - Read A E-Learning Book (ugh! awful title)

Here’s some stuff I did several years ago for a E-Learning app thingy, aimed at young wippersnappers and scholastic dingdongs.

Focus.

Inspire.

Teach.

Connect.

Encourage.

Podium (female option).

Podium (male version).

The below B/W illos were a later extension of the same job. The crucial difference between the above and the below were:

  1. I got paid for the colored illos;

  2. I didn’t get paid for the B/W illos (i.e. I invoiced, but never received a check).

DVD Extras!

Here are selected preliminary roughs/sketches. These drafts are what clients usually sees to better understand the illustrator’s interpretation of their assigned brief (which, in most cases, is as rough as the illo roughs!). It’s raw! THAT’S what I like about ‘em.
