The Mystery Work in Progress is still in progress and still a mystery. It’s going very slowly, but I like it a lot so far. I’m currently making animatics, while simultaneously trying to nail down the exact look. I’ve been working on and off on this project, at night, in my basement, for about 2 years now, with huge breaks for other work and life-living. It’s hard to keep the momentum sometimes. But I have the music nearly done, and listening to that over and over helps put me in the mood.

In the mean time I’ve scanned in lots of random pages from sketchbooks that I’m going to post here regularly, just for the hell of it. Some of these are more than 5 years old, but they’re just laying around, so…

Here is Random Sketchbook Assortment #1:

This is pretty old. I think the dinosaur was drawn when a corporation I know made a really stupid decision regarding the employment of a person I know. The person is doing just fine now. The corporation may be going extinct.

These were sketches for halloween masks(?) I think I also made Shrinky Dinks out of them.

The hands in this sketch are for another short I’ve been wanting to do. Maybe in a couple years…

Here are some sketches and storyboards for an insurance ad or something. I ripped parts of the stage from these drawings and put them in the Robot Family Christmas thing.
