Here is a brief clip from the film: The Triplets of Belleville. The unique nature of the film makes it just a joy to watch and the story is quirky and original.

I had a few extra minutes at lunch time today, so I figured I would put together a quick little sketch of the waiter for my short. I have only started to think about him lately and I am considering going with the sorta typical nose-in-the-air type. But perhaps that is a bit to [...]

Another concept sketch for you all. Things are moving along nicely. However I have yet to really establish a tone for the piece, and so, my mind and my pen continues to wander.
I love Basset Hounds so much. My dog Maggie was a big inspiration for the breed I chose. She [...]
