After Season 1 of Ultimate Spider-man ended I had planned on taking a little break before season 2.  But my director had other plans haha, he introduced me to some people at Hasbro and I got to help out on Kaijudo.  It was a pretty big departure, but I ended up having so much fun that I just decided to stay on for all of their first season!

This was one of the first things I did and it was also my first attempt at trying to do a piece entirely in Photoshop.  It has a LOT of problems but I'm starting to appreciate these failed attempts.  Making mistakes really is the best way to learn,  also the most frustrating.  Working in animation has been an extremely humbling experience, but I feel like it has also brought the most growth in my work!

more tomorrow!

Wasn't sure I'd make it today.  Busy, busy, but hopefully tomorrow I can at least include a little shout out to some of the killer talents I got to work with on the Ultimate Spider-man show for Disney XD.  Till then, a couple more panels from episode 14!!

During Season 1 of Ultimate Spider-man I was lucky enough to get to work on 2 Venom episodes!  Here are some boards from the second one!  It's episode 11 in the series.

Okay, back on track haha.  I will quickly get to the stuff I'm doing now but I wanted to retroactively journal the last couple years...  So!  After Xenoholics and TMNT, I fell into animation and have been there consistently since.  I'm still working in comics and illustration when the work comes by but I'm loving work in animation.  And it all started with the first season of Ultimate Spider-man!  So today starts a couple days of random Storyboard panels from Spider-man!  First up, Ep. 8, it's got Venom!

Had a pretty good weekend relaxing at home for a change.  Found it real hard to get back into the groove today, but I got there eventually.  So here is a Cable piece, cause, he's awesome.  And I want to turn this blog into a web comic at some point so I was just playing with a new character!
