Old Freelance Jobs Never Die

I came across this artwork recently. I did this character art job in 2002 or so, and someone is still using them! I can't say they're used brilliantly, but it still gave me a chuckle to see them.

Nightmare Before Christmas Mugs

In September of 2009 I was working on NBC product for Fall 2010, and I proposed this figural mug idea for Jack and Sally mugs. Once it got the go-ahead, I created the art, color and size specifications for the sculptor to follow. The sculptor overseas did a great job - and now, almost a year later, they're in the store! I'm biased, but I think they came out just great. This is truly the thrill of my job: having an idea, and then having that idea become real product. Fun!

Work

I don't usually post things I've done at work, but these were never used for anything. They were just done for fun during down time. The Tink was from a screen grab I was looking at, and the Pinocchios are studies based on the Pinocchio animation expression model sheets.

Totoro

Mr. Farenheit

Last night after watercolor class I was driving home listening to Queen, and I wanted to do some watercolor sketches of Freddie. When I got home I was drawing him, and having a great time doing it. This morning as soon as I woke up I gave it another try, and this just spilled out. It's not even the greatest drawing, and I'm going to refine it, but I haven't had so much fun drawing something for myself in some time now. So for me this is a really special sketch.
