Yeti like candy!

So it'll be summer in a couple weeks and I don't why I'm posting this, but here it is. I have so many unfinished pieces, I'm not quite sure why I gravitated to this one on the list but here it is. I just finished it up. Hope you like it!

Have a cool one.

It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

So I had the impetus to do one more winter posting before Spring. I hate winter by the way, for those of you that don't know. Snow is pretty cool but the cold...I know, I know, you can't have one without the other. In a perfect world...

Some of you may remember the little holiday short I made that stars the incarnation of my shy niece. I decided to do a background piece of Betty's hood. I might do the Yeti's soon.

Have a great week and let's all do our part to get the economy started...I might even pray.

You can watch the short here.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

I have been having a lot of fun with the characters from my "We Wish You a Yeti Xmas"...They have been the subject of many of my sketches as of late.

I've wanted to work on a B&W illustration for a while but didn't have any ideas. This sort of developed from a black background with a moon plopped onto it. I guess the impending death of nature and the first snow the other day prompted this spurt of creativity. Chalk one up for snow!

Hopefully everyone had a great Thanksgiving...I personally feel like I ate and drank just the right amount. I need another 4 days off though as I'm sure all of  you do too.

Have a great week.

A Very Yeti Xmas

So here are the first character roughs that I did. I was planning on doing a holiday animation card for the holidays this year. Most likely animated in FLASH unless I get really ambitious and do it all hand drawn. I want the backgrounds to look really crisp because, as many of you know, awful FLASH backgrounds are playing everyday all over the internet.

Well, today is November 20th, and here I am thinking I am going to finish it before the end of December. Wish me luck!

I'm not sure these are the final characters but it's a start in the right direction. It's a story about a shy little girl who makes a new friend. Betty is loosely based on my very shy niece Meg.
Check back for more updates.
Have a great weekend!
