Hey hey! Though I still feel like I have yet to break the 'champ' against the bow of this blog I thought I'd post this real quick anyways. One of these weekends I'll post a decent cross section of stuff I've done over the years. Till then, I'm eager to post these real quick:

These are for a Weird Al video that my comrades at Jibjab and I got to create. I was eager to post this because A) it's Weird Al, and Weird Al is cool. and B) I was pleasantly surprised by the results though I started this piece without "seeing it". To explain, I was given the biker bar interiors for this video. Here's the thing though, when I start an illustration or a series of illustrations (and this may sound pretentious, but excuse it here, as infer-able pomp is not the point) sometimes I just "see it" and it's a matter of executing it. Often I don't, I have no ideas, no 'vision' for the image(s) and those tasks always weigh on you like a sack of rocks. This project was one of those, and it accidentally came out exceeding my hopes. Not to say it's 'all that', only that I was stoked it came out this ..'ok'.

Here's a link to the whole video, check it out as it honestly is one of the funniest and most visually fun pieces I've ever been even a small part of...

  1. Hey Dave,

    I especially like how you did the light streaming in through the holes in the wood. Have you done anything like that before?
