Happy New Year!

Daniel Johnston for Christmas.

Does my wife know me or what? I guess I'll have to step up my "gift of socks" effort next year.

Comic Cover Roughs.

Rockabots comic a brewin'...interest from a few publishers. Here's a few first attempts at roughing out potential covers. Check out the new Website - some great work from Neezo Animation in Ontario. (All images copyright © Adrenaline Motion Pictures 2009)

Ned, Ted, and Red: The Big Surprise.

Illustrations from the last book, which was finished in the fall...and, I think, ended up as my favorite. Partners in crime: John Ludwick and Scott Ball. A team of former Disney guys are animating them now, and I'm excited to see the end result.

The following were all painted in Painter. Here's a handful of the final illustrations (All images copyright © MeySen 2009):

Working.

In Progress.... Painter / Photoshop

Old Stuff.

Reorganizing old files, and found some even older work. You know what that means? Archival vomit (bare with me here, folks)...even my very first digital illustration - good ol' Fred Sanford (who knows the airbrush tool? Dan knows the airbrush tool, that's who. haha).

The rest of these are oil paint on board / canvas (ahh the good ol' days, when I used to smell like turpentine). Alot of these involved transferring a drawing to hot press illustration board, covering the entire board with masking tape, cutting around the design with an X-acto knife, painting, letting dry, and peeling the tape away. Something tells me that using selection tools in Photoshop is a bit faster...plus you don't have to use the oven as a drier.

Mayer Fabrics Storyboards.

I am currently working on a fun little sales animation with my ol' pal Kevin Marshall for Mayer Fabrics in Indianapolis. Here are some boards from the project that were approved yesterday. I'll post progress as we work.
