Woo-hoo! @monster_comics & I will be heading to @spxcomics this weekend! September 15th & 16th! Looking forward to hanging out with my guy, seeing some familiar faces & getting to know some new ones!

I’ve been an artist and teacher now for more years than I haven’t. Better part of a quarter of a century. Maybe the best part of that time has been collaboration. Whether with students, friends or my significant other. What’s best part about of the collaborative process? That you put into existence something you could not do alone. That seems way more relevant today than it did when I first started putting pencil to paper. Artists know the importance of being part of a larger picture, working together to make something bigger than the one. Creativity through community. Just sayin’. . Big thanks to my partner in animated crime @mkillian.art for bringing these into the world.

Wanted to share some of the traditional process for the new Brimm toons. @mkillian.art and I want it all to start with the inks and traditional stuff. These have been scanned and played with for the finished animation. I’m having so much fun drawing these characters over and over. I also have a HUGE admiration for the animation work that is being done. I’m filling a tabletop and Matt is filling his desktop!

The color version of the test animation that @mkillian.art worked up. Love how he handles the expression and movement of these little guys. We decided we’d share bits and pieces of this project. Also, happy to answer any questions about the process. Fire away. More to come.
