Teaser Poster #2 - The World of Snowboy & Crow

Here is the second teaser promo poster for the "Snowboy and Crow" animated web series.

The 1st episode will make its debut in June, which is only about a week and a bit away.

So mark it down in your calendars, set your phone alarms, stick a post-it to your forehead, tell your family, close friends, imaginary friends, neighbors and even your pets that "Snowboy & Crow" are coming to a computer screen near you! (*probably the one right in front of your face as you read this)

Stay Tuned!!!

Achmed!

This was a early character concept I did for an animated flash TV show in development featuring ventriloquist Jeff Dunham's "Achmed the dead terrorist".

I'm a big fan of Jeff Dunham, so it was a real treat to do this particular gig.

The Armageddon Letters: Was Castro Crazy?

Seen below are 3 screenshots from a short film I finished, a few weeks ago, for the award winning filmmaker/producer, of Virtual JFK, Koji Masutani and the Balsillie School of International Affairs.

"The Armageddon Letters" is a series of short films which will reveal what it was like for leaders in Washington, Moscow and Havana to look straight into the barrel of nuclear war in 1962.

Entitled - The Armageddon Letters: Was Castro Crazy?

This short that I directed focuses on Castro. I animated the film in a "Catch Me If You Can" type art direction style with narration from Prof. Jim Blight (seen in his "Animated Style" in the first still).

I'll let you know as soon it becomes ready to view and I will make it available via my VIMEO page:
