If I had a graphic novel, this is what the cover would look like. Ladies and Germs, I present..ROCKETBABY


It would look like this!!!!! lol

Hola Amigos and Amigas!

How's' everyone doing out there? Me? Well......I would like to say *ahem* I finally got a job in the animation biznaz! YESSIREEE!!!! I am a character layout artist at Six Point Harness Animation Studios in the Heart of Hollywood! Thanks to my good friend Ivan for getting my work to one of the producers there. I've been working There since last monday. I get to work with one cool cat Director in Joel Trussell, and an awesome crew. So yeah the journey continues for this mook here =)

Anywhoo, let's post some stuff now! So, before I got the job at Six Point, I was working on some ideas on my graphic novels. One being ROCKETBABY. A story that has, punk music!, ufo's!, shadow governments!, extraterrestrial beings! love! and some ford edsals! yep...edsals, all mixed up together. I'll give you a run down of each character in future post. but today I share a mock cover. Let me know what you think. The colors I found out are a little different from my mac to pc, it sucks but what can i do eh?

Oh and I sent the cards to the winners. I have also decided to give some cards to three lucky ladies. since the last raffle it was all dudes and I thought it would be nice to give to the ladies as well. Those ladies are, TJ Lubrano, Gabby Zapata and Chenny Curtis.

Well That's it for now

Smile it up!

m00k!

-animation/film studies at USC are going awesome! It's definitely an enjoyable and creative atmosphere each day!

I met Brendan through my academic adviser in high school (he is my adviser's nephew) and he helped me a lot while applying to various animation schools. Last time I visited Six Point Harness Studios was when they switched to the new building a couple years ago. I should go back and visit the studio again one day!
