This weekend

So with everything else on my plate I am trying to get together a character animation reel.
Had some fun this weekend and thought i would share these.

My Story

Whispers of whats to come and what will be
These are the voices that make me see
See a world where dreams can happen
A world of spotted trees and walls of bumble bees
My soul, a dark cloudy blanket
Reminds me of the days where time and laughter are forever
Imagination inside a little pod
Spurts of growth create new branches
As these black claws reach their way to the top
I rise

Darwin The Dreamer

My first children's book, a work in progress. Premise is about a little blind boy who creates wonderful creatures from his imagination, even though he is blind he can see his creations because they came from his imagination. Moral: A Child is both imaginative and creative, and with such a mind, they can turn their dreams into reality.

Chicago heads

These are some head drawings done in the coffee house and the subway. Done over a lovely labor day weekend with my woman!

GO Spidey GO!

They have been playing Spiderman 2 back to back on hbo this weekend, so I decided to have some fun with bipeds in 3d studio max. IT was rushed so be gentle, but it also was fun.

Is Glen Keane out there?

When I was a child my father worked for Atari, doing robotics somehow he was introduced to a young artist by the name Glen Keane, He did 3 very rough drawings of Disney characters obviously he drew Donald duck for me, saying " hello Donald I like your name" So Glen if your out there and remember this, Id love for you to verify it, So I know that my dad didn't lie to me after all these years. :)


ps I still have the drawings!!!

Girl Concept

For the next few months I am really going to work on my concept art abilities, it is my hope to on day do concepts for games and feature film.

Gravity ( A Dixon Poem)

Gravity

Battered beat and bruised
Gravity
Flashes that cover my cerebelum
The ground beneath my black feet
The day and time where my soul and the ground meet
Gravity
Pushing,Pulling,Wanting more
This power holds me when I want to soar
Crushing perceptions, like a rodent in a strong fist
Gravity
Even in death this power controls us
Six feet into the ground
Black wings and a soul appear as a mound
We rot
Gravity

Skills

I want to help ignite the flame of imagination among the youth!

Medusa

Today for some reason I wished I had the power to just look at things and freeze them. I wanted to turn everything into stone. I guess I hate Change.
