Story boardin'

I have been doing some storyboard work for a bad-ass local production house called Kamp Grizzly. They are a great bunch of guys. These are a few stills from some work I did for them, back in October, on an ad for Adidas featuring a hip hop artist who goes by B.O.B. You can see the full commercial at the bottom.

This kind of work is a ton of fun because I have to make a bunch of drawings in a short time with a clear objective. I cuts out a lot of the frustrating ambiguity that can come with other jobs.


I also like the chance to think like a video director and showcase what is cool about hip-hop culture. I have been known to spin the 36 chambers and All Eyes On Me to help get in the right frame of mind.

Hello and welcome back! If you wonder where I've been then read on...


I took January off (unintentionally) because I got into a bind with a project that I'm doing for Oni Press. I am excited about the project but commercial work had intruded a bit too much into the production schedule during the last few months and I wasn't making progress. That, combined with some miscommunication between the writer and I, had me suddenly feeling like I had to play catch up in a major way.


Flash forward a few weeks; I've returned to a proper pace on my Oni book, kept Tragedy Series updated and successfully farmed out some of my commercial responsibilities to studio-mates. I'm really doing my best to catch up but I also want to make a few things just for this blog.


Today's offering consists of these figure drawings/studies I did at Periscope Studio's 'basement salon' session last night. Natatlie Nourigat let me borrow her 'portable' watercolor kit' which was comprised of a yogurt lid and a water brush. It worked surprisingly well. Thanks to the ladies of Periscope for organizing it, getting the model, setting out snacks and making it great!
