This winter I was contacted by horror writer Rachel Deering (Anathema) to do work on a graphic novel. That is still in the works, but in the meantime, I did a short story for a future anthology called Monstrology. Rachel wrote a great 12 page script for me, and being the fan of short stories that I am, I gladly tried my hand at it...

Hey there, hi there, ho there!
I'm an old member thats a new member!
You see - awhile back I was apart of the autumn society and then fell astray.
I once was lost, but now am found.
So I just wanted to post up saying how excited I am to be back!
To illustrate my gratitude I drew a monster for everyone.
Autumn Society Rocks!

How to Draw Finn! (With Phil Rynda)
Hey everyone!
From the Trenches of Adventure Time is here!
“From the Trenches” is a behind-the-scenes video series of the super talented folks that make up the crew of the animated hit series, Adventure Time, by Pen Ward!
For our first segment, we interviewed the amazing & lead character designer of the show, Phil Rynda! In the video above, Phil shows you how to draw Finn, and gives some good advice for any artist.
Phil will also start teaching at CalArts this Thursday night! Congrats Phil and to the students that will be lucky to have him as a teacher!
So what are you waiting for? Get watching already and get inspired by the Rynda-ness!
A special thank-you to my friend and summer intern on Adventure Time, Nathan Connelly for helping me shoot and edit these segments. Check out the trailer for his ambitious student film, The Bayou Blues, by clicking HERE.
And if you missed it, the original trailer for “From the Trenches” can be seen by clicking HERE.

Golden Age References

Hey there folks! I've been doings loads of research for my piece for the upcoming Golden Age show.... Ah heck, I've mostly been researching this stuff more for the awesome finds than anything! There is so many amazing treasures out there on the internet! Being the art and especially animation and film geek that I am, I couldn't hold back my excitement at all the goodies I've been finding on Micheal Sporn's blog (or as he says "splog").
Here's his link! Click here !
If you don't know about Micheal Sporn, he is one of the leading men in the field, creating such emotional films like "Whitewash" and "Champagner" (forgive me if I'm spelling any of these wrong) He's also the top guy in creating the "Animation Show of Shows" featuring the current year's best festival films.
A few more links from me, with love.
