Interview with Girls Drawing Girls Part 1

About 4 months ago I conducted an interview with a group of women artists called Girls Drawing Girls. While chatting with them I've come to realize that their backgrounds were widely diversed ranging from the animation industry, to comic books, to toy design, and much more. What connects them is a common interest in portraying the pin-up genre from a female perspective. Although women artists from Joyce Ballantine all the way to Olivia de Berardinis have contributed to this unique point of view, Girls Drawing Girls has made it into an organized movement that has been going stronger and stronger for the last 3 years. Check out their site:

My first video interview post is with Melody Severns, artist and co-founder of Girls Drawing Girls. Check it out.



They'll be more postings of my interviews with other GDG members so stay tuned!

Old Sketches...

I was just cleaning out my animation desk at home when I found some drawings I did awhile back. This one above was a sketch based on an animated short that I co-created some years back. The short aired on Nicktoons last December and can now be found on Youtube:




As for this sketch here, it's based on an idea that floated around for awhile but never got really developed which is about a superhero who draws his powers from wireless signals around him. Below is him as a regular dude(left) and his buddy(right) that shares his secret.


I'm going to be updating this blog with a new banner and new art, so stay tune!

"Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself, I'm a Man of Wealth and Taste..."

Those were the opening lyrics to "Sympathy for the Devil" and it seemed as good as any for an intro in a blog. Might as well since I was staring at the screen for a half an hour trying to come up with something witty to say.

Well anyway welcome to my blog and even though I'm not wealthy I like to think I have taste. And that's what I want to share with everyone whether it's from accounts of my life, talk about stuff that I love, or my art...and everything else in between hence what this is all about.

And so to Christen this blog I've posted pics I took when I was in Chinatown about a month ago. Enjoy!
