It’s an adaptation of <a href="http://www.rbooks.co.uk/product.aspx?id=0224089846" target="_blank">a graphic novel of the same name</a> by <a href="http://julianhanshaw.co.uk/" target="_blank">Julian Hanshaw</a> and <strong>my first job as an animation director.</strong> </p> <p>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 <a href="http://vimeo.com/33608041" target="_blank">the making of</a>, where you can watch me awkwardly explain a thing or two about the project :]</p> <p><a href="http://artofpho.submarinechannel.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://loish.net/pho_still1.jpg"/></a></p> <p>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 <a href="http://artofpho.submarinechannel.com/" target="_blank">watch, enjoy, check back for new episodes daily, and spread the word!</a></p> <p><a href="http://artofpho.submarinechannel.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://loish.net/pho_still3.jpg"/></a></p>http://blog.loish.net/post/15669230309http://blog.loish.net/post/15669230309Wed, 11 Jan 2012 08:29:00 -0500updatesjulian hanshawthe art of phomotion comicgraphic novelsubmarinechannel<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx6ifsy2Mp1qa9abso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>preview of upcoming art.</p>http://blog.loish.net/post/15185902337http://blog.loish.net/post/15185902337Mon, 02 Jan 2012 11:14:16 -0500art<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvr3um4b5K1qid74mo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvr3um4b5K1qid74mo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvr3um4b5K1qid74mo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvr3um4b5K1qid74mo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://amonkeysinspirations.tumblr.com/post/13794051387/found-these-murals-at-a-local-skatepark-in-whitley">amonkeysinspirations</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>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!</p> </blockquote> <p>pretty aaaawesome!</p>http://blog.loish.net/post/14213712919http://blog.loish.net/post/14213712919Wed, 14 Dec 2011 08:39:36 -0500random<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw4vmzh4Z91qa9abso1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw4vmzh4Z91qa9abso2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw4vmzh4Z91qa9abso3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw4vmzh4Z91qa9abso4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>finally i can announce this: my artwork is in the new ballistic publishing book, d’artiste fashion design!</p> <p>it features three long, comprehensive tutorials by me as well as a showcase of my art. <a href="http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/books/dartiste/fashion_design/" target="_blank">check out the link on the ballistic publishing page to browse through a preview of the book.</a> and of course to <a href="http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/books/dartiste/fashion_design/">pre-order it!</a></p> <p>btw, since people are asking, the difference between the limited edition and slipcase is that the limited edition is leather-bound and embossed (<a href="http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/books/limited_editions.php?id=142" target="_blank">check out this link for more info</a>) and only a limited amount are available, whereas the slipcase is just the normal soft-cover book :]</p>http://blog.loish.net/post/14160109526http://blog.loish.net/post/14160109526Tue, 13 Dec 2011 03:30:00 -0500updatesballistic publishingd'artistefashion<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvudj9yjej1qa9abso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>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 <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/114429690573661425439/OldOekakiArt" target="_blank">this picasa folder</a>.</p>http://blog.loish.net/post/13876086198http://blog.loish.net/post/13876086198Wed, 07 Dec 2011 11:23:33 -0500art<a href="http://www.jessicahische.is/obsessedwiththeinternet/andbeingresponsivelyinspired/inspiration-vs-imitation-2">Ligne Claire: Inspiration vs. Imitation</a>: <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://kecky415.tumblr.com/post/13811519480/ligne-claire-inspiration-vs-imitation">kecky415</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>I read this last night it is such a good review for anyone who is trying to become a real artist!

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</p> <p>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 <strong>exact. Same. Things.</strong></p> <p>What an asshole.
