Livestock In Woodstock!

August 31st, 2007

We met this fellow this summer at The Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary. If you go, you can pet cows, chickens, goats and pigs, and if you take the tour (or visit the web site) you’ll probably never eat veal again.

The Wheels On The Mud Bus…

August 28th, 2007

In honor of Back To School Week, here’s a school bus that I did for my friends over at Mud Coffee. As a kid, this time of year always filled me with dread. Then as a young adult it was kinda of a guilty pleasure not having to worry about school. Now, as a dad with a daughter going into the fifth grade, it’s back to dread.

Dog Days Of Summer!

Here’s another image from the “Nick Days” project produced by Corey McPherson Nash.
It’s my homage to the “Dogs Playing Poker” painting. This Nick Day was “Good Posture Day”, which explains why the dogs are stooped over.

Here’s my second Dino ID produced at Fred/Alan, clip courtesy of Fred.
This would be a good time to mention that the music was produced by the Late Great Tom Pomposello. Tom was an amazing producer, musician, and friend.

Here’s my Dino ID from back in the heyday of Fred/Alan. It wasn’t my first Nick ID for Fred but it was one of my most successful being featured in a nationally run TV commercial. It even spawned a sequel which I will post tomorrow. I would like to thank Fred for making this clip available.

Whenever Wendy Weasle, Nick Hippo, and Al Gator get the call, they drop what they are doing and hop into their solar powered, crime fighting, jet pod. Together, they zoom off to fight the world’s most environmentally challenged bad guys.

Penguins on Parade!

Here’s a frame from Elmo’s World “Penguins”. It’s my way of giving a shout out to Amanda Baehr Fuller, the talented artist who helped me ink this scene. Amanda is a terrific designer and animator and you can see her charming work at Mama Robot and also read her entertaining blog.

Are You A Sheep?

In the Chinese Zodiac you’re a Sheep if you were born in the years 2003, 1991, 1979, 1967, 1955, 1943…
Sheep’s are sincere, shy, artistic, and creative. They are also good samaritans. Any Sheeps out there?

The Yawn Club!

Another image from that early Fred/Alan show “Kid’s Court” on Nick. I wish I’d saved my sketch for a story about a guy cooking peanut butter patties on a grill. If you can imagine what THAT might look like, you’ll understand why the story was cut.
