Here’s that clip for Chef Jr. that I promissed you. This was back in the bad ol’ days of cel paint and there’s a pretty nifty color transition that was accomplished by mixing many shades of paint in tiny cups. I got a real kick out of seeing this spot on the air.
Here’s an image from one of my favorite episodes of Elmo’s World, “The Fish Channel”. Did you know that my lovely and talented wife Young Ok does all the beautiful color models? She’s also a terrific painter and she’s having a show this month at the Thomkins Square Library Gallery (331 East 10th Street, NYC). The opening is this Satuday from 2 to 5.
Did you know that October 9th is Leif Erikson Day? He’s the viking credited with landing in North America 500 years before Columbus. Leif’s nickname?… Leif the Lucky.
BTW, vickings are fun to draw.
(Click on the SWF file to see Leif do his happy dance.)
Here’s an illustration from Sports Illustrated for Kids. It was for a story about how kids from the 90’s were overweight compared to kids from the 70’s due to too much TV and junk food. Wonder if Wii and Guitar Hero have helped kids fight the battle of the buldge?
I ran into my old friend M. Henry Jones yesterday. We were both getting our morning coffee after completing drop off duty. You can see Henry’s work at snakemonkey.tv including his ground breaking film, “Soul City”. He’s got a opening/screening this weekend at the Jonathan Shorr Gallery. All the details are at snakemonkey.tv.
The gunks was a live action show about an all girl rock group developed by the dynamic duo of Kathy Minton and Marc Catapano. My part was going to be animated wipes and bumpers. I was going for a look inspired by those old Beatles cartoons.

It was great to catch up with Jerry Beck at the art opening for the multi talented animator/painter Pat Smith at the CVZ gallery. Jerry was in town on his way to the Ottawa Animation Festival. There was a good crowd of animation people at the gallery and a good time was had by all.
