My first post is an ugly post...

but I had to break the ice with something! Name's Tyson Murphy-- I'm all of your's fanboy. Applying to the program in April. Just a question- is it already decided that the evil master is going to be skinny and such? I thought maybe a fat master would give off a good atmosphere of gluttony. My sketch isn't quite as fat and disgusting as I was thinking.... but that's what came out.

All your stuff is amazing, sorry for the noob first post, my internship just ended so maybe I can help out if only a little.

murrrppphhh

AAAAAAAAA!!!! BIG NEWS!!!!!

okay, everyone, sorry to post pictureless, but i figured this was the best way to get out the AMAZINGLY awesome word that the one and only special edition "Jungle Book" DVD set to release this fall includes a genuine original FRANK AND OLLIE COMMENTARY amongst the plethora of dazzling extras!! i mean, come on- does life GET any better???

i would venture no.

except maybe at pixar.

Some quick pen sketches

Here's a handful of designs I whipped up--all quick pen sketches. The landscape I actually stole directly from a painting hanging in my brother and sister in law's house. I like the tender scene between mother and son. Also, what do you make of dad's face?

That's me in the corner...

Okay. I'd like to apologize for my absence. I didn't even get to bring my laptop. Not that it would have mattered. I haven't drawn anything in like... two weeks. ANYTHING. It's disgusting. But the honeymoon's over now, and with it my wife's reign over sketchbook and laptop usage.

I'd like all of us, thems that be in Provo at the moment, to have a chance to meet this Thursday or Friday. Preferably Thursday at 5:00 pm. IF this time does not work for you, please email me and let me know what would be preferable. We can do it later, too- anytime after 5:00 works for me. Levi and I should have some boards to present by then, and anyone else who wants to (Ron, Brant, Bueller, anybody) can bring boards, designs, originals, etc. What boards I have will prolly be thumbnails.
Also: who has a spiffy idea about where to meet? We could reserve a study room at the library. Is the HFAC still out? Whatever. We need a Room of Requirement, and whoever brings it is captain of the D.A.

And some drawrings.





Dad's armor is from the Qin (pronounced 'chin,' I found out from a friend) dynasty. This armor would have been work by an officer in the army, someone of the nobility. I like it for simplicity and iconograpy- this is the armour that the ceramic army guarding the emperor's tomb wear.
