I’m trying something a little different with the guys from Prolifik, motion graphics. I hope you enjoy the little Christmas tune below.

In last nights hockey game I was chasing down the puck and lightly brushed up against a nice fellow from the other team in the process. He went sprawling to the ice, I got a penalty. Now I don’t claim to be a hockey genius, (I don’t even claim to know very many of the rules) but I have no idea what penalty I committed to send me to the penalty box. The best I can figure out is I was given a four minute major for being a big ole meanie…

Folks keep remaking The Three Musketeers movie and they all seem to be pretty good, (no doubt because it’s a pretty good story), but I think my favorite is the 1973-74 version. It has a certain Marx Brothers quality to it that I really like. Porthos is particularly fun to watch as he sword fights in those big baggy pants of his.

Today I will finish my Yoda sketch from yesterday. I scanned the pencil drawing, opened it in Photoshop, tossed an interesting green background underneath and started painting on top of it. My goal was not to do a highly finished piece, just something loose and quick… and I would like a little extra cheese on the music, please.

For those that have asked to see me actually DRAW a picture, this is for you. I started with a piece of Georgia-Pacific Card Stock (available at WalMart), knocked out initial shapes with a Prismacolor Col-Erase blue pencil, erased that with a kneaded eraser, added a few more details with the blue pencil, erased that down, and finished the drawing with a Pentel Twist-Erase mechanical pencil.
