So here's what we've been working on for the first part of this year it's our 2nd collaboration with our buddy Caspar Babypants, we've always wanted to have a go at making something in the old 1920's "rubber hose" style so we we're stoked when we finally got the chance. Hope you (and your kids... if you've got 'em) enjoy the heck out of it coz we had heaps of fun making it...

Found a framed print of a forest at a thrift store and added My Little Ponies being hunted. I call them re-paintings. Hope you guys dig it!

Charles Dana Gibson

I just thought I'd share a few images from a set of ancient C.D. Gibson books that I acquired from a friend while working on his house. Gibson really knew how to describe form quickly and easily with line. His drawings were simply amazing...especially crowd scenes and interiors. Flipping through the pages made me really curious about the way people lived their lives way back when Gibson sat down to sketch. This was a time (1890's) before the proliferation of cars, where people said "while I was on my wheel" rather than "while I was riding my bike." The books are an odd, beautiful, and artistically inspiring glimpse of a master illustrators work. Enjoy!

* Classic Disney *

Recently my Art Director bought an old Disney book, called the "Art of Walt Disney" for only $1! This book is filled with great sketches, stills, and photos. A lot of the artwork comes from the one and only, Ub Iwerks, an animation pioneer, wizard and a huge inspiration and influence for the way I work. I'll be writing more on him later, but for now I hope you enjoy these scans I made from the book.









Cheers!

P.S. Thanks again Eamon for posting on Shotaro Ishinomori. He's amazing and also a big influence on my work, along with Tezuka, Yokoyama & Toriyama!
