Here are the final colored versions of Chowder wrestling with his Dislexia. Mark Bachcand did the final pass on the characters and Laura Dalesandoro cleaned them up.

another old vacation photo, from England.

this is actually the Yum Yum Donuts on Glenoaks by work, but I was too lazy to paint the suburban streets of Burbank behind it so I moved it to Palm Springs. You can tell because the trees which I had to make up suck and don't fit in.

Going through some old photos, here's Tokyo

Thanks for the suggestion Chris. A place near and dear to all of our hearts, the world famous Coffee Burger.

Getting up at 5:30 to do freelance work.

Burbank in the morning.

Burbank in the morning.

last week during the fires the light was really weird. it looked kind of like this when we were walking back from coffee at 3 in the afternoon.

the 7-11 where I stop to get Gatorade on the way to soccer

coming home from work during the fires.

Got to do yet another fun thing at work today. For soem reason there was a portrait of a Cockatoo in the storyboard, I have no idea why, but Carl let me do it and here it is. thanks again Carl!

Last weekend Rachel signed us up for a class at the Getty Villa on Ancient Greek cooking. It was very fun and inspired me to do greyscale on this drawing i did a while ago. We learned some fascinating things about Greek drinking parties and there'll be some drawings about it comin up soon.

Got to do something fun at work today, not that reference lists aren't fun. There's a very special episdode of Chowder where he battles Dislexia and I got to draw up some comps of him battling letters (and a number). thanks Carl!

I just got CS3 installed on my computer at work and now I can finally use all those cool brushes I stole from Chris Appelhans without crashing. I made this amazing piece of new age art, it's either something you see from the Hubble Telescope or that VD you picked up on the toilet seat at the Renaissance Faire.

Haevn't had any time for fun postings lately because of so much freelance work. But here is an entry from my 2nd favorite book called "The Word Museum" full of antiquated English words like:
GARDYLOO: A cry which servants in the higher stories of Edinburgh give after 10 pm when they throw the contents of chamber pots out the window onto the street below. This also coincidentally is seen in the first shot of the pilot I'm working on with my friend Darrick Bachman.

Here's somehting from work. I got to do an album cover for "Molten Steel" from Pete Browngardt's storyboard. Thanks Pete!

Saw this at lunch today. Oh Burbank, how I love you.

Turns out this was a type of candy.

I have to preface this one by saying that like everywhere we go, 99% of people couldn't be nicer to us and Austria and Bavaria were certainly no exception. We met many many very sweet, nice, friendly, helpful people. However... they are no fun to draw. And we did meet a few people who lived up to the stereotype of being very harsh and severe... and they are fun to draw. So here they are.
