Here is a new piece I did of Stan Sakai's Space Usagi for a tribute book to benefit Stan and Sharon Sakai to cover her medical bills. Many great contributors, including Sergio Aragones and Jack Davis, to name just a couple. From Dark Horse, please check it out.

Great meeting last night at the Los Angeles Post Production Group. Adobe presented the latest features of Premiere. More importantly, they clarified that Adobe users do not need to upgrade to the Creative Cloud if they do not want to, as they are still selling CS6, and you can continue to use CS6 if you prefer to. In other words, if you like the plan you have, you can keep your plan.

This is a recent piece I was commissioned to do promoting Astute Graphics newly upgraded Vector Scribe 2. I have been using their Adobe Illustrator plug ins for a couple of years now, and find them highly useful in creating artworks, and in saving considerable time.

Film Festival Titles

As a life long fan of the incredible work of Maurice Binder, I had the opportunity to create titles a few years back for a local film festival as an homage to his work on the James Bond Films of the 60s.

A similar process is where I also pause the DVD, and make character sketches. I find this helps me gain a wider range of personalities to draw upon.
