Bugship model Kit

Hey blog, time for some news!  I'm really excited to be working with Michael Fichtenmayer of Industria Mekanica and FitchenFoo to produce a fancy schmancy model kit of the Bugship!  Check out his work if you haven't already, really high quality stuff!

So far it's in the early stages, here's what we've been up to so far.

Made a new interior tonight, I'm scared it might be too delicate, but we'll see.

I'm not done beating this dead horse yet!

Samurai Champloo AMV: Gang Starr - Battle

Just finished watching Samurai Champloo for the first time. Catching up on TV from the past decade...

It's got an amazing feel to it, the fight scenes are just epic upon epic.

TRON: Uprising

So here's the next project!  For the next 5 months I'll be working on the animated TV show Tron: Uprising, designing vehicles and props.  I'm really excited by how the show is looking so far, and will probably start having dreams on the grid soon.

Alberto Mielgo is art directing, whose paintings I have been drooling over for years over at his blog.
Charlie Bean is directing, after a little research I found he's been involved with alot of the cartoons I used to watch after school every day like Dexter's lab, Powerpuff girls, Samurai Jack and Ren and Stimpy.
I still can't believe this is really happening.  It's truly a dream job nerdgasm.

Thanks for the hookup Annis!

Thank you!

Here's the super awesome going away gift from the team at Mattel.  They stole one of my cars and painted it  funky new age colors which I'm still trying to digest.  Everyone I worked with except for the lovely engineers in Bangkok signed it too!  I was overwhelmed with this gift, although its just a 2.5" piece of metal, it's probably the most sentimental 2.5" piece of metal possible for me.  I'll always smile when I look back on the past 7 months working a dream job at Mattel.  Thanks all!

Busy week

Hi blog.  I usually don't write, but these past few weeks have been crazy.  I wrapped up my 7 months at Mattel on friday.  I can't believe how many late nights spread over a whole team of designers, planners, engineers, licensors etc goes into into these little pieces of metal.  Here's a pic of the line I worked on at the San Diego Comic Con a few months ago.  They should be coming out soon.  Can you guess who they are?

My buddy Paul did the two big guys on the bottom left, and the lovely Fraser Campbell did the key sketch for Superman which I took through to production.
