new Donkey Xote trailer

There's a new Donkey Xote trailer and webpage online. It's a 3D feature I animated some shots for in 2006 - seems like it hit theaters in Spain, finally.

grow

Mr. Inch Worm needs a bigger house to hide from the bird... now!
I found those wallpaper patterns on squidfingers.com and decided to use them for IllustrationFriday.

o pen

As you can see, it's the begging sheets of paper that make me draw - not the confidence in my drawing skills... another doodle for Illustrationfriday.

Tanzania Safari

The last couple of weeks I slept between buffaloes and hippos, met a Maasai with six wives and twenty-six children, fought with monkeys for my lunch and experienced the slowest internet connections on the planet... in Tanzania.
Here are some pictures I took during the trip

missing

Miss Ing was missing the realization that she would always mis-sing. Her dog Deaffy didn't seem to mind, neither her lack of talent nor visibility.

My second illustration for Illustration Friday (ballpen and Photoshop)

honeyMoon

Mr. H. Moon is supposed to deliver a speech about job satisfaction next friday...

I need to improve on my drawing skills - so I decided to doodle every now and then for Illustration Friday (just in case you don't know IF: it's an awesome resource for inspiration, having so many different interpretations of one subject).

new 58 com

Fiftyeight is a company I worked for quite a few times - and probably will in the future. I also helped animating that big yellow guy for their new website (did most of the idle animations like pecking, ballet and such). Check it out at www.fiftyeight.com. You might want to use a fast machine to get to watch fluid animations.

Dragon Hunters rule!

Dragon Hunters is a 3d feature I'm doing animation for... it's by far the coolest project I ever worked on!
There's a 2d tv-series about the Dragon Hunters that you can watch some episodes of at cartoon network (if you live inside the US). If not you can see the intro on youtube (music by The Cure). Two of those dragons will have an appearance in the 3d feature as well.

There's actually a pretty old trailer around (produced by another company back then). It still kind of shows the direction our movie is heading for. The layout artists rock, too - look at those beautiful backgrounds!
Another location for trailer and designs would be the page of Guillaume Ivernel (goto projects - Dragon Hunters)

Urmel on DVD

Urmel comes to your home! The Urmel aus dem Eis - DVD is available for purchase on amazon. Maybe you want to check out some pics and clips first.
That's what I did most of 2005 - animation on Urmel aus dem Eis...
