TCM Underground in Stash


A little while back I got to work on some fantastic spots for TCM's new late night grind-house film block called TCM Undeground. The characters were pulled from the print campaign with some bizarre mutants, geeks, and weirdos done by Mike Dixon. The animation design took a heavy influences from Edward Gorey and old punk posters. I did all illutstration and animation on the spots with help from Freestyle Collective's Mark Belnculla. It was fun taking a break form the usual motion graphics and hunkering down on some traditional animation. But, after 8 weeks of 10 hour days of none stop drawing...I don't know how those disney folks do it. The whole set are gonna be in STASH this month. But, you can check them all out.here as well.

Volvo Is Fun!



Got to do some fun character design work for a Volvo spot through Interspectacular last month for the Volvo S40. The concept was "Volvo is a world of fun to drive" which presented a opportunity to do some more playful designs. They posted here if you want to check it out. Robots, robots, robots, my favorite. The original has some insane aliens and demons in it as well...but that was deemed not so fun by the agency folks.
