2nd favorite scenic shop job.

I've just finished a project today with the scenic shop. For the last week I've sculpted the rear bumper to the Splash Mountain vehicles. I WISH I could post pictures, but I think I'm not allowed to post them on the internet (if such pictures existed... he he). I worked with an industrial oil based clay that's the same stuff they use to make concept cars out of. It was awesome!!! The clay becomes soft at 135 degrees. Once it cools, you can sculpt textures and details into it. It was probably one of my favorite projects I've had at the scenic shop. You know you have a good job when an 8 hour shift feels too short, four days in a row!

Finally added Text to my headquarters.

It's finally a poster as it was intended to be. Maria and I searched and argued and debated the correct two fonts to use for about a half hour this morning. We both like what we ended up with.

Something old.

Haven't done ANYTHING this month so here's a Halo helmet I did a while ago that I don't think I ever posted.

For a future illustration.

I have this image in my head of a scrawny chicken being knighted by a swan queen in a church all themed to birds.... So I decided to design the windows for this church. I'm either going insane or I've got my next illustration.

Distance runners!

So Maria and I were walking, and as usual I was pretending my hand was a spaceship flying around fences and bushes. It then occured to me if I had a matchbox car I would be doing the same thing, but I'd be rolling the car on any surface that was at a convenient height. Well, what if that matchbox car had a step counter inside it so you could see how far it's traveled? And hey! What a great thing for fathers and sons to do while walking somewhere boring?! And thus "Distance runners" was born. Click on the image for full size.

A fun first attempt.

Well, here it is, my first attempt at stop motion animation. I'ts only 16 frames. I guess if it were the standard 24 fps it would look a little smoother. I put the whole thing together in photoshop. I'm going to try it in after effects to see if it looks any better there.

It is done!

Finished! Welcome to the headquarters of the Sculptwerks empire. Here, work is paradise.
