A couple of new things

This is a logo I designed for Yeti Farm Productions. I don't think it will be final, I'm going to try and make it a little less Honkbarn style. Below is a background pan for an animated section of a live action short film. This particular shot won't be used so I can post it. Once the film is complete you'll be able to see it on the jumbo screens at various 2010 olympic venues. It's been a busy last few months with home renovations and currently wrapping up a project with 2 more slated before christmas, then 6 months of service animation for a Dutch studio starting in January. I promise I'll make a Honkbarn 6 in the new year. I feel like they need to continue whether or not I get some help with funding.

New Logo

Here's the new Honkbarn logo with colours brighter than ever.

Honk and Barn re-united.

New identity

This fall I am going to start up an umbrella company to handle all of my freelance work. A place to showcase my work and demo reel, etc. It's pretty tough trying to think of a good name that sticks. Ash and I thought about T&A (Todd and Ash) but that company name is already registered. I then combined our high school nicknames, Tabber and Bosh for Tabberbosh. I kind of like it but not enough to use it. I'll keep thinking about a name but I did this little mock up for Tabberbosh even though it will never be used. If you suggest something rad, like Chunkhole productions, and if I use it, you can't sue.

LOSING IT!!!

Bear Design

I recently did some animation for a client that involved a bunch of banner ads. I presented them with a couple of concept designs and this was the one that didn't get picked.

New Website

www.honkbarn.com has a new look!

New Drawing and what not

Here's a new character that was inspired by my collection of cowboy boots. For those who didn't know this about me I've been collecting cowboy boots for the past 18 years and now have a total of 76251 boots. 12 of them are snake-skin but only 2 have good soles because the others are worn out from two-steppin'. YEEEE HAWWWW!!!

Tonight

So today we downloaded some Raffi and this is how the rest of the night ended up...

Vancouver snow storm

Crazy amounts of snow fell in Port Moody today. It hardly ever snows around here but when it does I try to make the best of it.

Honkbarn 4 is complete!

It's been a long haul but I've finally finished Honkbarn episode 4. It's over a minute and a half and features some amazing voices from Johnny Darrell and his son Kai.

I'll be launching the new episode at www.honkbarn.com the first week in January. Keep your eyes peeled, here's a couple of screen shots:

One for Fun

So this is my final week at the day job. As of next week I'll have more time to work on the Honkbarn project. I've got a website up but have yet to connect all of the links. So far it's just a main page, I'll start the programming next week. Take a look at what I have so far: www.honkbarn.com. Here's a few for fun...

Website Design

I've just started putting together a Honkbarn website. Click on the image for a larger version. This is a design I threw together tonight, I'm not sure if it will be used but I figure it's a good start. The website will include the films, an art gallery, and eventually a store once I have enough shorts to put a DVD together. The black areas will include interactive links to the other pages on the website. I'd like to add some animation to the front page.

You Don't Have to YELL

This is a painting I did tonight during a break from animation. It was done left-handed. I have to pay such close attention to detail at work that it's sometimes nice to escape that way of thinking and just let my eyes wander as I draw.

Honkbarn 2

After doing some sound searching on Flashkit I discouvered a fun little music clip created by a guy named Dave Girtsman. Thanks to the wonders of the internet I was able to track Dave down through a myspace search. He was more than happy that I decided to use his music for my second short film and he did a score for Honkbarn 3 which is currently in production. Here's the second short:
