This interactive December calendar countdown to Christmas featuring Zoe and Dante is a work in progress. It’s part of a collaboration I'm doing with a fun gal from New York called Wei. Eventually it will be polished up to a rosy shine. But seeing as that may not be until spring, and melting snow tends to make Santa’s festive attire smell of wet wool and cinnamon (a romantic notion in theory but a bit of a turnoff as you prance through the daffodils) I’m posting it now.
If your device doesn’t support flash I’ve also included videos of each animation. To watch the video animations from older days please follow this link to
‘A very Zoe and Dante Christmas’ where I’ve collected them all for easier viewing.

I am really enjoying this collaboration with Wei and we are tossing about more ideas than could ever actually be used in the interactive films.

Again, this interactive December calendar countdown to Christmas featuring Zoe and Dante is a work in progress. But I hope to at least have the video version of each day up on the appropriate day. The interactive flash film is something we are doing for fun and it may not always be up and bug free in time...

Ok, enough typing for now, I've got a new movie to finish! See you tomorrow! xxx

A vimeo version for those who don't feel quite so interactive.
I’m working on a little movie and I thought it might be fun to share some of the set components I’ve drawn so far. We’ve got your average fluffy clouds, snowy trees and some tree sweaters including birds. A small penguin paperclip snuck in while I was documenting the sets. He stems from a box of
penguins I bought in Tokyo and is so cute I didn’t have the heart to oust him.
I’ve been thinking of penguins lately, penguins in sweaters to be precise! It’s almost become something of an obsession, as doodle after doodle features a flappy sea bird in a finely knit jumpers.
It all started with the call for knitters to aid the oil exposed penguins in New Zealand. And seriously, when you see a picture like this (
link to image), tell me you don’t feel the urge to draw handsome penguins too.
So here is a little charmer getting a soapy scrub down as his friend is distracted by a suspicious scarf.
I loved participating last year and on top of a slurry of new ideas, I won the delightful book you see below donated by
Jannie Ho. So again, YAY! Tomorrow I start the 2011 PiBoIdMo and I can't wait to see where it takes me.
Hi everybody! I just got back from an inspiring visit to Montreal & New York, and I am more than ready to get back to the drawing board. *smiles* Just wait until I introduce you to Freckles the alligator!
But first, just before leaving on my trip I did an interview for
InspirU Coo Coo and I’ve included below my answer to the question ‘describe your illustration process’. For the
full interview follow the link.
Hugs everybody. Good to be back, and I can’t wait to go visit you all soon.
1 - I choose a theme
‘scruffies’: term I use for the comfy and by no means sexy clothes I wear when working in my home studio.
2 - Research and inspiration
3 - I draw a thumbnail sketch... here is an example of an actual thumbnail sketch and the respective final image
4 - I scan the thumbnail and enlarge it, then print it out and use it as a backbone for the detailed drawing on the light table.
5 - I figure out the perspective points (if relevant). I often tape multiple extensions to the image for the perspective points and use really long rulers.
speeded up flip through of my 2011 sketchbook project sketchbook
I’ve been busy as bees! This is great for me, not so much for my little blog. I’ve been doodling over at boy in a bear suit, but it’s not the same. I thought I best idle the time here by sharing more of my 2011 sketchbook for the sketchbook project. It’s a bit speeded up as it was too long. On the upside I kind of like the old super 8 feel where things go just a smidge too fast. Enjoy.
Hello Tuesday that feels like a Wednesday!
I don't have any big lovelies to share at the just yet but in my blogging absence/abstinence I started a doodle blog on the side.
Boy in a bear suit is a blog to host a little challenge I’ve set up for myself. The criteria are ‘keep it simple’ (i.e. just characters), ‘post daily’ and ‘no bunnies’ (sorry Zoe and Dante, I still love you!)
And do not fret Zoe and Dante will be sharing lots more adventures right here as usual!
Hugs!
A bunch of months ago I was visiting
Tammie’s blog and one of her delightful
photos immediately caught my attention. I commented that I could see Zoe and Dante having an adventure in her landscape.
To my delight I got an email shortly after with the photo in question attached, giving me permission to borrow from it! I was flattered and thrilled! I started the image right away... but it just wasn’t working out and in the end I put it aside.
Then as it so happens, this week’s IF theme is journey, and I thought of that failed image. It was perfect. If only I could get it to work... I guess time gave me the distance to see it with fresh eyes, because now, after some tweaking (ok a lot of tweaking) I think I found my way.
Or as the delightful
Bella puts it: 'they are not undead, just misunderstood.'
I did a second version of the undead toys, just to see how it would look in a different setting. I think the bunnies pop more in this one, but there is a quality I like in the first one too. I'm glad I did both.
I've got some wonderful projects going on at the moment. One of which is a collaboration with a really talented friend on an animated short. I'll do some updates here as the project unfolds. Oh... and yes, it will contain my bunnies.
Sweet dreams, and don't let the undead toy keep you up... they just want to play.
SAVE the LIBRARIES
We all need stories from time to time to carry us away!
below are three of the layers I drew to create this 2d/3d illo
belated IF illo for the theme layers...
