Nine days left.

A little update: We rented the apt. (which is why I took down the pics/posts), and we found a place in St. Paul. It allows cats, and is very ugly, I'll post some pics when we get up there. Right now we're living at Robin's folks place, which has been taxing on all parties, and counting down the days till the 27th.

We hope to have a little going away party at Maxwells sometime through the week. Nothing big, got lots of werk to do before we leave, just some eats and a few drinks.

shiver me timbers . . .

So we're having a little problem finding a place in St. Paul (no big surprise there.) We thought we had a place all set up, but they don't allow cats. It's supposed to be the "nicest, cleanest place in town" but I don't think I could live with having to get rid of anymore animals. And being stuck in a crappy apartment without so much as a plant to talk to, will give a touch of the space maddness.

Also, if anyone is looking for new digs, we gotta find somone to take our apartment. It's a really nice 2 bed, 2 bath condo, with a dishwasher, and laundry in unit. I think it's about 1100 square ft and has a nice sized balcony. Goes for $910 a month, that's $455 each for 2 people. It's on Ochterloney St. and about a 10/15 min walk to the ferry terminal. Ya can't beat it!

Shiver me Timbers . . .

. . . I'm-a sailin' away.

So we're moving to St. Paul, Alberta on the 27th of December. I wanted to tell everyone in person but I don't think that's gonna be possible. Here's the skinny:

Robin applied for a job with the government of Alberta in a small town two hours North-East of Edmonton. Robin will be making more there than both of us combined here in Nova Scotia, so financially, we can't let this opportunity pass us by. I on the other hand will not be making more than both of us combined. There are no animation studios in the small town of 5000, so I'll be looking for a lot of freelance work. If any one needs some help on a project or two, drop me a line.

At least it'll be an adventure, and I'll hopefully have a lot of stuff to put on my blog. I'll keep everyone informed of all the exciting happenings in St. Paul, Alberta.

I'm gonna miss everybody.

PS: Blogger's spell check doesn't recognize the word "Blog"

Yay!

got my website up and running. It still needs a few tweeks, and a demo reel, but it's up there

BeatBot

Not proud of this one, super busy so it'll have to do

Wha?

ZombieBot

Hey, why can't robots be zombies too?

Stargate Sg-1Parody

Like Stargate?

Found a link to this on someone elses blog, had to post it.

Shorty

Didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but here goes.

HelloSkinny

Simple one today. Been listening to a lot of The Residents lately. This one was inspired by the song Hello Skinny.

Does anyone remember the Transformer Pretenders? They were these human looking guys in tecno-armour. When you cracked 'em open they had a Transformer inside. I remember thinking "This is aswome! They can just walk around like people, and when the Decepticons started some shit, they could jump out and kick some butt!" I figured they could just grow or shrink like Megatron does (how the hell else could Starscream fire him in gun mode?) But when I picked up a comic with the Pretenders in it, they were full sized Transformers! What the hell was that! "Look mommy, is that a giant robot?" "No honey it's okay, that's just a giant man. Now it's not polite to stare, so just drink your sippy and go play."

DeliveryBot

This one should make up for missing fridays post

Never mind

Okay, so I tried to update my website and I ruined it. I really hate this stuff. I thought I did everything the same as when Jacob first helped me put it up, but I guess not.

#@%^@$%@$%&!!!!!

BugZapper

Just finished what was supposed to be yesterdays post. I guess there will have to be two today. This one was influenced by my girlfriends lack of drawing skills (I'll have to post some of her drawings one of these days), Wes suggested the rivets, and stay tuned for a Jake Adams inspired updated/animated version of the image.

SlutBot2.0

Since Murray wanted the deluxe model

SlutBot

SlutBot, 'cause she's easy (all's she got is a single button), or if you like, She's very User-Friendly.



PS: I fixed the previous posts

Enforcer

This lil guy goes with the first robot. He's here to protect the city from evil.

SuperMomBot

A friend of mines suggestion. Not my best work, and I really suck at colors. I'm sure I could have done better if I had more time, but here it is:

Robot a Day

"Bow before my superior sound!"



I'm going to try to post one robot a day for one month. Any suggestions for future robots?

I've done this so many times, I might as well just stop talking altogether

A quick sketch, and an even quicker cleanup.

A few photos

I love digital cameras. You can shoot as much as you want and you don't have to pay for processing before you see how many you have to just throw out.

Here's a few pics I took while waiting for the ferry over in Dartmouth one day. I just wanted to take some texture photos. I might try to clean 'em up once I get some spare time.

NFB online

The NFB released 50 of their animated shorts http://www.nfb.ca/animation/objanim/en/films/
w00t!

I heart Robots

Ever since I was a kid I loved robots. or anything science-fictiony. One day I'd love to work on a show where all the characters are robots. Come to think of it, I'd love to work in a place where all the workers were robots I'd be the only fleshbag there, the daleks would keep shouting "you will be exterminated! EXTERMINATED!" Me an Bubblebee would greet each other in the morning "workin' hard?" "you know me, hardly workin'." "Ha ha ha!" we would both laugh.

finally

here's a little sketch I did while waiting to see my doctor

Is envy really a sin?

No pics/drawings today. Just more ramblings.

I've been visiting other ppls blogs, and I've come to realize I'm a very jealous person. I mean I know that I'm alright at what I do, but I always wish I was better. :I wish I could draw like this or that person." I guess it kinda forces me to try to better myself and my art, so if that's the outcome, maybe envy/jealousy isn't such a bad thing after all.

Weekly eh?

So when I said weekly, I meant I wanted to actually post some artwork, or at least something interesting. But then I got a virus on my home computer . . . again.
I didn't really know I had one 'till my computer started acting up. Then, when I looked in my scan history, it turns out I was infected with a Trojan about 2 months ago. The fuggin thing couldn't be deleted or quarantined or anything. Great. It then disabled my virus scan and is somehow stopping me from downloading another one.
When I'm at work, I like to concentrate on actually working, so I don't really have time to doodle or think of anything interesting to write. I guess untill I get my computer fixed, all you get is another down on his luck story.

I really hate computers sometimes, maybe I should just stay away from risky websites . . . nah

Now Weekly!

So I've decided to start updating weekly, be it a drawing, a little speil about why I hate politicians, or just a picture of one of my cats. This week . . . It's a picture of one of my cats!


This is Maceo. He's a tiny monster of an animal. A cat that doesn't know how to meow, bites so hard he breaks the skin, and fetches like a dog.

Doodle

A little doodle I did at Phil's going away party. Downtown's pretty boring when you can't afford to drink.
