I’ll mention this again when it gets a little closer, but here it is now. I’ll have a couple peices in this show:
I’m pretty excited to be a part of this! There will be art and installations by a ton of amazing illustrators and screen printers. KAIJU BIG BATTEL is doing something. There will also be cool stuff like a Batman cowl worn by Adam West, vintage animation cels, and toys from Robot Chicken. You can check out the modus lotus blog for some more info on some of the artists. I’m thinking about attempting to make it down to MA for the opening.
I actually showed you guys my peices for this a while ago, I think. I just saw that they were linked to on Newsarama back when I first posted them. How did I miss that!?
I spent a good chunk of October working on six animated television spots, along with the fine folks at Cosmic Pictures
. I drew all of the characters and elements and the guys at Cosmic Pictures did all the animating and worked their magic. I’m really pleased with how they turned out! It was one of the most pleasant job experiences I’ve had as an illustrator. Here’s one of the six animations:
Check out the other five spots here.
Other than a few incredibly amateur attempts on my own as a teenager, this is the first time I’ve seen drawings of mine move around and talk. It’s really neat. Anyways, they were for a zoo somewhere in Utah, urging people to vote on a proposition that would provide more funding for the zoo. I think they ran on tv there for a couple weeks leading up to election day.
A million thanks to killer illustrator Mike Laughead for hooking me up with this gig!
First, there’s a really nice review of some of my recent mini comics over at Shawn Hoke’s Size Matters blog. He reviews Are You Man Enough?, The Secret Thoughts of Harold Lawrence Windcrampe, and This & That 3. Here’s a little bit of the review that made me smile and think “this guy totally gets it”:
The art veers from sketchy and minimal pages to lovely shaded and textured panels with generous black ink. Phil frequently uses exaggerated figures to fill his stories with uneven relationships of power – kids cowering under towering adult authority figures or the trembling artist in Are You Man Enough.
I unfortunately recently sold out of copies of
Are You Man Enough?, but the others are available in
my store.
