Sealy maquette

I made this little guy over winter break, just haven't gotten around to getting a good photo of him.

Sealy movie poster

Here's my little movie poster, based on the sketch I posted earlier. I drew the objects in pencil, vectorized and did basic coloring and gradient fills in illustrator, then composted in Photoshop.

The SEALY logo is the scanned design is from my mother's book cover, the entire poster design was also inspired by my mother's illustrations in her book. Thanks mom! =)

And just wait till you hear the Sealy theme song, my dad wrote it for me to complement the book in 1985. I wanted to be an animator since I was a kid, so we always talked about how cool it would be to animate Sealy. My dad would play the song all the time for me, that was my favorite thing. So this has been 25 years in the making... and a family project!ACM320_Spring2010_Poppler_Sealy-bookcoverACM320_Spring2010_Poppler_Surf-Sequence-book

Alice in Chinatown

Cherry Blossom Cabaret has been in the works of a burlesque version of Alice in Wonderland, Chinatown style! It celebrates the art and community renaissance of the once (and still in parts) scummy downtown area. But hey the scummyness is half it's... uniqueness shall we say.

Anyway I'm posting up the concept artwork I've been working on with our team. Mostly costume, staging and set ideas for now. I'm really just using my blog to allow the other CBC ppl to view what I'm working on...

more 'Sealy' model sheets

Since I have my Michy and Sealy characters pretty much figured out, I decided to concentrate on developing these characters from my script. They aren't set in stone yet I may need to revise them again.
