York and Durham


A couple of pages of sketches from my recent trip to England.  I was invited to give at lecture on storyboarding at the Animex Festival in Middlesbrough, which was a fantastic experience. While I didn't get to cafe sketch as much as I'd have liked, I had an amazing time and made some wonderful new friends.

Long Halloween

Hey Guys, I've been immensely enjoying a short new gig at Warner Bros (unfortunately can't say what it is yet, but it has nothing to do with Batman) and I've been really inspired by all the superhero animation going on all around me, so I thought I'd take a stab at doing some rough animation of the Dark Knight. This scene is based on a gorgeous drawing from Tim Sale's "Long Halloween".

Pho-turama

Here's a Pho-themed Futurama piece I did for a friend and her man.  I do realize Amy isn't Vietnamese but most of us Asian foodies are fairly well informed about food terminology.
