Just a stupid animation that I did yesterday. Hope it makes you smile :)

I'm taking a ball and socket armature building class with my mentor and friend, Larry Larson. This is Armature #1, lots of trial and error but she functions pretty well... a little rust from blood and tears but not enough to impair mobility :) Armature #2: Money Bunny's skeleton, and I can't wait to get him together.





This is DOLLY. She's got the starring role in The Money Bunny Blues now. I can't wait to animate her, all cartoony and stuff. It's gonna be great. Wire armature and stitched up seams with a wooden head.

Zoetrope tunnel, object zoetropes composited in after effects. Pretty hypnotizing! This is for the Money Bunny Blues, when Dolly falls down the Money Hole.

I have made a little animatic for MONEY BUNNY BLUES. it has a little music, and a little color, and some cute drawings.
The story is for all you people out there who've ever been wishing for a little more, feeling like you deserve a break, and hoping that something good might come your way soon. it might, if you can treat the money bunny real nice :)

These are storyboards for a story I wrote in the spring, "Little See-Saw Meets the Moon."

Little See-Saw runs away from her farm when she makes a huge mess stacking cow patties up to the sky. They fall back to the ground of course, and she doesn't feel like cleaning it up. These drawings are from a scene after she runs away, where she stumbles upon a seance between the forest creatures and Mother Moon. Don't really remember how this one ends... :P

Cleaning out your computer always has its unexpected benefits... this poster is pretty far from what ended up as my final concept for the film, The Hand of One Hundred

Chasing the Money Bunny

Here are some sketches of scenes from my newest film, Money Bunny. It'll be all the cuteness I ever wanted to make, rolled and sugar and topped with rainbow sprinkles. Just you wait! :)
