Yesterday, The Art of Pho, an interactive motion comic by SubmarineChannel, was finally launched. It’s an adaptation of a graphic novel of the same name by Julian Hanshaw and my first job as an animation director. 
I storyboarded/conceptualized the motion comic, directed the creative process, and did a lot of the animation as well. I’ve poured so much of my creative energy into this thing and worked with a lot of talented and motivated people to create this. Please check out the website and make sure to also watch the making of, where you can watch me awkwardly explain a thing or two about the project :]

We really tried to take a new approach to motion comics with this, mixing different techniques with 2D animation and adding some interactive touches here and there. Please watch, enjoy, check back for new episodes daily, and spread the word!

amonkeysinspirations:

Found these Murals at a local skatepark in Whitley Bay, with Loish’s pretty ladies up on them, though I feel they are likely copied/inspired/in homage to her, really nice little surprise!

pretty aaaawesome!

finally i can announce this: my artwork is in the new ballistic publishing book, d’artiste fashion design!

it features three long, comprehensive tutorials by me as well as a showcase of my art. check out the link on the ballistic publishing page to browse through a preview of the book. and of course to pre-order it!

btw, since people are asking, the difference between the limited edition and slipcase is that the limited edition is leather-bound and embossed (check out this link for more info) and only a limited amount are available, whereas the slipcase is just the normal soft-cover book :]

someone (forgot who it was!) recently asked me to draw no girl again, seemed like a fun idea. so i revived this old, weird character from my oekaki days. there’s some older artwork that i did of her in this picasa folder.

Ligne Claire: Inspiration vs. Imitation »

kecky415:

I read this last night it is such a good review for anyone who is trying to become a real artist! (like myself!!!)

this pretty much encapsulates my views on the matter! might be helpful to those who are worried about inspiration in either their own or other people’s work.

and of course, personality imitation, stalking and never-ending denial about your direly one-sided ‘inspiration’ are NEVER okay but fall into a totally different category of creepy impersonation that would require a totally different kind of article to understand. i think most of you know who/what i mean. this article is not about that, just about people who are searching for a healthy attitude towards being inspired!

'Dilbert' Creator Scott Adams Compares Women Asking for Equal Pay to Children Demanding Candy »

stfusexists:

“The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It’s just easier this way for everyone. You don’t argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn’t eat candy for dinner. You don’t punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don’t argue when a women tells you she’s only making 80 cents to your dollar. It’s the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles.”  -Scott Adams

I love how he almost comes out and says exactly what he actually means, which is, “Women are treated like children and disabled persons because they are incapable of doing things men can”. That’s patently false, and that’s why we’re all pissed that women are getting paid less to do the exact. Same. Things.

What an asshole. Dilbert was mediocre at best, you jackass!

is this for real? seriously, was this guy kidding or did he actually mean what he wrote? sometimes i forget that people like this actually exist… i’d say boycott dilbert, but i don’t know anyone who reads that crap to begin with.
