Playing with some brushes. This is not the doodle you were looking for. Move along.

sketch club doodles

2011-12-03T10:39:00.001-08:00

I had a free day yesterday and filled it with good things. I took Max to school, went to the gym with Kristen, saw the Muppet Movie with my kids and wife and had a chance to visit Sketch Club with Marcelo Vignali and the gang. It was awesome to see the familiar faces those people are amazing. Here are some doodles from the lunch.

2011-10-20T18:23:00.000-07:00

Cool little drawing exercise, I took this quick doodle and filled in the face. I'm sure you're like me, everywhere I look, I see faces. I'm not hearing the voices yet, though.

Meet Alexa, she has been at Sony Pictures Animation for a while and now she is leaving. I had the pleasure of working on this caricature for her.

Pokemon Max!

My boy is turning 6 years old next week! He wants to have a Pokemon themed party and so we made a playing card for the invitation to his party! I love that Kristen put that he evolves from a five year old!

Happy Birthday buddy!

Creating the Anhedonia Logo

2011-02-23T07:30:00.000-08:00

This is the animated logo at the end of the new television show, Mr. Sunshine. Think "Sit, Ubu. Sit." or "Bad Robot!!" You can see it better quality at http://vimeo.com/20228001

A few months ago I got a call from my friend Matt Davis asking if I would maybe, possibly be somewhat interested in considering working on a logo like that for Matthew Perry. I jumped at the chance. The company is called Anhedonia Productions, and you're probably wondering what in the world "Anhedonia" means. It's the inability to experience pleasurable emotions from normally pleasurable life events. A pretty crappy situation, but comedy goldmine.

I worked with Andy Erekson and Marcelo Vignali (and his daughter) to come up with a list of 50 ideas of what this logo could be within the theme that Perry had already set up. I boarded out 7 of those ideas and created 3 animated beta tests. Here are some of my favorites...

For exploration:
Face on Jumbotron
Rodeo
Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center
Birth of a child
Bear Attack
Jack in the box
looking at the Mona Lisa

Storyboarded Ideas:

Animation Tests:

I took all that stuff into a meeting with Matthew Perry. It was one of the few celebrity encounters that I have ever had and it was awesome, I won't deny it. We didn't have much time so I started with the story boarded examples, then the videos, then we went over the list. My original idea was to have a new tag at the end of every episode, and Matthew liked that idea a lot. We were all set for it but when he found out that this would be coming from his own pocket and not the studio's, he reconsidered.

The work on this logo went quickly. I probably spent a total of 10 hours on it is all. I think the fact that it was only 4 seconds long was a perk. I finished everything up and sent off a version to be approved and never heard anything back. I knew that they were running out of time and didn't have the final logo so I contacted them. Ben, the guy I was working with, said that there were no notes back on it, which is good news. I delivered the final version and collected my check. It was a great experience.

You know how normally you start out all excited about a project and when you get into it you start to hate it more and more until you question your own worth not only as an artist but as a human being? That never happened on this project. I completely loved working on this thing and now I'm sitting here wondering how I can get more business like that. If you know anyone who needs an animated logo at the end of a sitcom on network television, be a pal and send 'em my way, will ya? Thanks!

I just wanna be tough

2011-02-11T15:42:00.000-08:00

Lately I have been trying to work out a little bit more and every time I hear about some fitness app my ears perk up. Recently I heard about this Nike Training Club and I downloaded the app. It has a bunch of really great workouts to get you into shape or help you lose weight or whatever. I did one workout for only 15 minutes and called it good for the day. For the next three days, my legs and hind quarters have been paying for it! Then I found out that it's targeted for women. The longer I live, the more I realize that women are WAY tougher than men. I don't know what I was thinking before....

Playing with after effects. I've always liked this idea of having these blocks of wood spell out words. Could get pretty fun.

What is Q?

2011-01-21T17:56:00.001-08:00

My friend Chris Mitchell has a store in Little Tokyo in LA and he's got space for a little art gallery. I was lucky enough to be asked to participate and this is my piece with one of the preliminary sketches. Check out his blog if you get a chance or check him out on Facebook.

Santa Logo

2010-10-05T09:27:00.000-07:00

I was asked to come up with a graphic for a logo for the Run with Santa charity event that the Grossman Burn Center is holding sometime during the holiday season. I don't know when the race is, but I'd love to be in it. I've never run so much as a 5k before - I gotta get out and move!

This is the final color image for the end of this short film I'm working on. Hopefully I can get this shot animated tonight. I can feel that I'm running out of steam.

Caricatures

2010-09-27T10:19:00.000-07:00

When you get a chance, take a look at my new blog dedicated to caricatures. I find that when I am just sitting there (in church, in meetings, at lunch) I end up drawing the people around me. And often the results aren't too flattering. So I figured it would be good to post this stuff online. If you spend any time around me, you might find your face up on that blog soon.

Not that I hang out with Stephen Tyler but...

2010-09-15T17:34:00.000-07:00

I've been spending the early hours of my days working on this great little piece for an engagement video for a commission. I'll be posting the after effects clips periodically. There is no sound on this clip, so don't think your computer is messed up. You're not missing anything. Let me know what you think about the piece.

Engagement Animation

2010-08-31T07:30:00.000-07:00

I am working on a little animation of a guy deciding how best to propose to is girl. Much more to come. I'm going to post beat boards, story boards, test animations and all that. All in a months time!! Please feel free to comment and suggest stuff. I love it!

BEAUTIFUL

2010-08-18T11:09:00.000-07:00

I want to create stuff this beautiful. I love everything about this. I love the style, I love the story. I love the idea of taking real interviews and giving them this new perspective and heart through animation, I love it ALL. It feels a bit like the scene in UP where Carl loses Ellie, and thats because there is real emotion in this piece. Well done Rauch Brothers

Mini Minnie

2010-07-30T09:22:00.000-07:00

The other day, I was asked to come up with a caricature of a colleague who is leaving Sony. I'm pretty pleased with how it looks for how much time I put into it (a little under an hour). I just wish I was a better painter. I need to work on that.

You take this still image, and roll these black bars over the top, you get a simple form of animation.

Playing around in After Effects

2010-06-03T14:47:00.000-07:00

This is the Turbulence deformer:

5 Year Old Spy

2010-05-29T08:11:00.000-07:00

My friend Tom Curtis's son is turning 5 in a couple of days. On his cake he wanted an image with a very specific image. This is the description that I got, "He wants a picture of a secret spy agent (sunglasses and very covert), who is on the ceiling with suction cups on his hands and feet. He is looking down on a bad agent guy with laser eyes who is trying to 'get' him with the laser eyes."

I hope he likes it.

Photoshop CS5

2010-05-19T11:06:00.000-07:00

I just got the trial version of CS5 at Sony to try out and present to the studio. I've been playing with the brushes this morning and there are some really cool additions. Anyone familiar with the Photoshop kingdom knows that we've been waiting for this for a long time! The brush bristles now follow the direction of the line. Photoshop now dynamically tracks the angle of your stylus and interprets it like this.

cool trick

2010-04-22T17:27:00.000-07:00

I don't know if there is any use for this yet, but I was drawing on my cintiq at work when Andy bumped the mouse on the desk and it made a cool blip pattern. This design here was made by moving my mouse while drawing a straight line with my stylus. If you have access to a cintiq or WACOM tablet, try it out. It just might be useful for something...

Skatepark Sketches

2010-04-12T18:04:00.000-07:00

For Sketchclub a couple of weeks ago we went to a skate park and I struggled my way through these bits. There are a couple that I like. Its fun to shake things up though, normally we go to Daphne's Greek Cafe and draw the people in the restaurant. It was a nice change of pace to draw kids in motion.

This is a drawing I did of my Granddad when he was in his early 20's. His 90th birthday is coming up and he's the healthiest, wittiest ol' guy I know. He's a huge inspiration.

On another note, the Biggest Loser Season 8 started last night. Man, I love that show. Though, I could by-pass all the crying and drama. I love seeing the transformation of these guys over the 4 months or so. Plus fat people are awesome to draw.

I get towards the end of a project and I think to myself, "sweet, I'm almost done. All I have to do is put in the words and it's all finished." Then HOURS later I realize that typography is flippin' hard!! Overall, I like the way this turned out. I welcome critiques.

A step in the right direction.

cool Photoshop Tip

2009-08-24T15:08:00.001-07:00

I just found an AWESOME feature about Photoshop that I have been looking for for years! I have always wanted to "solo" out a layer especially when I'm working with hundreds of layers but there was no indication that Photoshop would do that sort of thing.

The other day I accidentally came across this. If you hold down Option and click on the Layer's visibility all the other layers will turn off their visibility so you only see whatever is on that one layer.
Then if you Option+click the visibility of said layer then it restores back to whatever your visibility settings were before you made the change. Well done Adobe, now if you'd just make it known that you have cool features like this....

A few weeks ago, I was playing first base on Sony's softball team and I pulled my hamstring trying to beat the runner to the plate with my impressive splits. It didn't work. She got to the base before me. Man, I should have stretched out first. Then I would have had her.

Legend of the Star

2009-06-07T21:11:00.000-07:00

These are a few illustrations for a book that I have been working on. If it looks like they are a bit rushed or not very well thought out it's because there were a bit rushed and not very well thought out. This was a tough project for me. I don't feel that I ever "caught the vision" of this book. I was not happy with the overall story and the writing was not engaging. I never felt a connection with the project and the work suffered for that. I'm happy with the look of the illustrations but not the design. I think the whole book would look better if I would have gone through the entire process of painting an image in this style a few times to get it right and then work on the final images. I'm living and learning.

Toastmasters

2009-03-13T10:55:00.000-07:00

I'm a part of Toastmasters and one of the roles is Grammarian. It's the role I most often volunteer for. As Grammarian, you get to count how many times people say "Um..." "like" or any other filler word, stops and restarts and any other distracting word usage. At the end of the meeting, I report for everyone's benefit how many times they messed up. So basically, I'm distracted by focusing on all of the errors people make. I get to flex my critiquing muscles.

Sketchclub post

2009-02-13T16:58:00.000-08:00

I just posted on the Sketchclub blog. Click on the link to see the full image. Its a bit of a Jed Henry rip off, but his stuff is amazing and I want to learn anything I can from him.

I'll tell ya, this Sketchclub has been one of the coolest things that I've ever been a part of. I feel like a real artist when I go out with these guys to the local Greek cafe, we sit in silence and draw all the characters around us. It must make people very anxious to sit near us. I wonder if we drive away business. Then at the end of the hour of sketching, we head outside and pick out "the Mark". The Mark is anyone who stands out for some reason, someone that has character either in the way they move or what they're wearing. Usually its both. Then we commit to memory as much information as we can about them and go back to the studio and try to redraw them as well as we can from memory. Great exercise. And it's cool to compare what each other picked up on.

It was just announced that

Pajama Gladiator has won a Student Emmy!!

There is a first, second and third place and we don't know which one it will take, but we'll know that at the actual ceremony that Ben Porter (Producer) and I (Director) will be attending in March. I'm very pleased that our little film is getting noticed and recognized. It's hugely gratifying and all icing on the cake. What's even cooler is the fact that we were up against Kites, which is the BYU's animated film after ours, and they won an Emmy too!

In other news, I found out that the show Wipeout is having a casting call this Saturday down in Anehiem by Disneyland. I'll probably have to ham it up, but if it means that I can take a run on that obstacle course then I'm good for it.

FAMILY; isn't it about time?

2009-01-14T08:20:00.000-08:00

Over the holidays my brother and his lovely wife went out to Chicago to adopt a beautiful little boy and I couldn't be happier for them. Welcome to the family little Kallen! We've been waiting for you buddy! I can't wait to meet you in person.

2008-11-04T15:45:00.000-08:00

I was closing my eyes to try to visualize the scene I'm working on and a figure much cooler than this one came running through my thoughts. I tried to capture it as a drawing but it was too evasive, and this is what I'm left with.

Another Yearbook on it's way

2008-11-03T23:23:00.000-08:00

In this digital age, we take thousands of pictures a year - most of them are horrible, but what do we do with them? For the past two years my wife and I put them all together in a "Yearbook" and publish it through Blurb. It's a great way to actually use these pictures that we so generously shoot.

PJG claims Producer's Choice and Viewer's Choice Awards

2008-11-02T06:23:00.000-08:00

Not only did I not expect this, I didn't do anything by way of telling people about the competition to get the votes! To my great luck and support, there was a mass email sent out at work for me about this and I heard of another one going out on BYU's campus telling people to go to the Nicktoons website and vote for the film. And as a result, we won the Viewers Choice. A month ago, Ben, the Producer, and I went to the Nickelodeon Studios for a party. We knew we had won the Producer's Choice Award. But the viewers choice was still up in the air. So thank you wonderful people who took the time to check out the film and who voted for it. Those of you who voted for something else, you should see it again.

Guy a-walkin'

2008-10-31T17:08:00.001-07:00

I am SO lucky. I am also very grateful. Sony rocks and I feel overwhelmed by how this is all coming together. Here at the studio, Marcelo Vignali gets some people together and heads over to a local Greek place where they sit down and draw the people around them. I tagged along this time and plan on making it routine. At the end of the sketching session, the group singles out someone just walking by and they all memorize him/her to the best of their ability and then go back to their respective desks to then put it on paper. Then they'll be posted on the Sketchclub blog. Great exercise in memory retention and quick observation. I think this poor guy noticed us all studying him as he walked down the street.

Happy Hallowe'en

Sony Story Artist!!!!

2008-09-20T10:15:00.000-07:00

I feel like the luckiest person in the world! Just last Monday I was offered a job with Sony Pictures Animation as a Story Artist! Here's a quick run down of how it happened:

Monday - Sept 8th Blue Sky Studios got my Layout demo reel
Tuesday - Sept 9th I got a call from Blue Sky and a phone interview with the Layout people
Thursday - Sept 11th Blue Sky called with an offer! And it was a really good one! I was very pleased with it. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it was in the industry and I would have been foolish to not go after it. They let me know they were on a pretty tight schedule and needed to get an answer to them by Monday the 15th. I sent out a bunch of emails - one of which was to an recruiter at Sony Pictures Animation with whom I had been in contact. I asked if she knew of anything going on in Sony with Story positions. She emailed me back quickly and the ball was rolling.
Friday - Sept 12th I got a call from this recruiter saying that Sony was interested in interviewing me at their studio on Monday!
Monday - Sept 15th My interviews went better than I expected. I was relaxed, the conversation was great and I thuroughly enjoyed it all. On my way out of the parking garage, the VP of Productions came out and stopped me in my car and told me that I have the job if I want it!!! Want it?! Of course I want it!!! I was on top of the world!

So my family and I are now off to LA to live the dream of a story artist! I can't wait!!!

Here we go again

2008-08-19T16:14:00.001-07:00

It's bound to happen one of these times, right? I keep getting closer. The first time I applied, I was in college, didn't have much to show and they were very polite, but i'm sure they laughed when I left the room. The second time I applied was for the After Effects position. Though I was recommended by the person they were going to hire, someone else was hired before I even got my portfolio in. With the Layout Artist, Pixar actually called me up and flew me out for an interview. That was amazing. Thought they didn't offer me a job, I was that much closer. Now, I'm gearing up for round four! Wish me luck.

My recent venture into water color...

2008-07-23T15:26:00.000-07:00

This painting was done in about an hour. I know it's not amazing, but my enthusiasm for watercolor has just been rekindled and this is right at the beginning of the wave. Hopefully things will get a better as I keep practicing. We just got back from a visit to Idaho to visit a friend, and as a thank you for staying at their house, I sat out front and painted the scene before me.

I would also have you know that I did not make the painting from this photograph. The difference in perspective you see is the difference between the naked eye and the focal length of the camera lens. So please don't dock me points for not getting it to look exactly like the photograph that you see. But I was impressed that Marianne was able to get a picture from almost exactly where I sat to do the painting.

I have a lot to learn about painting.

Jonas Boy

This is a portrait of my newest little boy for a gift to my wife for this year's Mother's Day. I know there are many problems, but seeing as how I'm not really a portrait artist, I'm pretty pleased with this. I know if I put in more time, I could iron this out to be a bit more technically accurate. This is about 6 hours of work. Black and White rocks. I don't want to leave out Max, so I'll be posting another portrait of my first born. We'll see how that one turns out.

May Demo

I have been working on this over the past couple of weeks and I would bet I've put in well over 60 hours working mainly on the Half Pipe Dream, not to mention working out all the little details. The Devil is in the details... Ain't it true.

Anyway, I want to spend more and more time on this thing because it needs so much work. But I have to get it out before I miss an opportunity. There is a trade off, do you sweeten the demo reel - thereby increasing your chances at the golden job? Or do you quick get something together and sent out, before the rad job gets nabbed? It's a toss up.

I have gotten great feedback from people on this little piece and one of the comments was the screen direction issue at the very end. Here is a side by side comparison of the two.

I am very interested in hearing your critiques. I know that it is standard to just leave a "feel good" comment - ex. "wow, I love it!" "Perfect!" "Don't change a thing! You're amazing, Glenn, and you should work for Pixar!!" Don't hesitate to leave that as well, but if you see something that could be better - let me know. I am using this for a camera-setup portfolio piece and I want it to be nice.

full first draft of Half Pipe Dream

2008-04-27T04:29:00.000-07:00

Here it is, the entire first draft of this little exercise I've been working on. Like I mentioned before, the idea came from a childhood dream, but I'm using it now to explore camera angles and camera movement. I welcome criticism and approval just the same. Let me know if this is understandable. What works and what doesn't work for you? What is confusing?

Half Pipe Dream rough draft

When I was a little kid, I was really into rollerblades and one night I had a dream that there was a skate park that had a roller coaster roller blade track. That idea has been rattling around in my head since then and I thought that creating it in 3D space might help exercise it out of my life! Plus this is just way cool to look at without the danger what could happen on a track like this.

I don't think of myself as an angry person, but I've been noticing that most of my drawings come out with angry eyes and expressions. Maybe its the cool lines that mad eyes make.

Nervous Pooh

2008-02-25T07:52:00.000-08:00

This is in honor of my big brother, Scott. You know when you anticipate doing something stressful, like speaking in front of public, you get the butterflies in your stomach? Scott claims that there is also a link to the bowels - that you get nervous poo. This is my birthday present to Scott. Here's to you big brother, thanks for inspiring me!

This is for a book that I will probably never illustrate.

I like the look of those newspaper comics. They make good use of white space, and I wanted to give it a shot.

Quickie

2008-01-30T16:04:00.001-08:00

I just got this really cool new toy and I have to bust it out every now and then. Today, at work, some people were asking about it and this is the result of a quick demonstration of its power. I few weeks ago I saw someone else with this on their desk and, I admit that I was jealous. I told Kristen about it and immediately began trying to figure out some way to justify buying it. Then Kristen went ahead and bought it for me. We'll figure it all out later! :) Just kidding Mom and Dad - we are very responsible people.
