Summer Life Drawing
This summer I vowed to go Life Drawing at least once a week. I need to bone up on my skills before I start my next film. I hope to be posting the results as I go along
Charity Benefit Event
When I was at C2E2 last month some of the artist alley people as well as I were approached about doing an card illustration for a Charity Event in Chicago. The event is called The Treasure Chest of Art. Here are my submissions.
April Updates
First off as always its always been a while since I last posted. This time its because I have another site, thelift.kohrtoons.com which features my latest film “The Lift”. Its currently seeing some festival action and I am crossing my fingers for more. Check it out at one of those venues or you can purchase [...]
Making of a shot – Shot 50 of my film
I have recently setup 2 channels, one on Vimeo and another on Youtube which I will update every Tuesday with new shots from my film. YouTube Kohrtoons Studio Channel Vimeo Kohrtoons Studio Channel This week I created an almost 7 minute tutorial showing my process of developing a shot from the animatic to the final [...]
Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile
I recently downloaded the latest drawing app available for the iPhone. I have not been a huge fan of the others as they never felt quite right. Autodesk seems to have offered up something truly good, Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile. The main difference I felt between Autodesk’s offering and Brushes was that Sketchbook lacked the ‘vector-esc’ [...]
11 Second Club – August Submission
Ever heard of the 11 Second Club? If you are an animator you should have. Its a website where an audio clip is posted on the first of the month, usually something from an old movie. Then those who choose to participate have about 30 days to complete their interpretation of the animation. I decided [...]
Nickelodeon Turns 30!
So I can’t help a little corperate pandering to the company that pays my Bills, but I do feel a little proud to work here especially when I look at Pinwheel, the Canadian show that was Nick before nick when I was like 4 years old. Here is a Clip: For a little more retro-fiction [...]
I Heart Sketch 3D
Do you have a cintiq or other drawing device and ever though, hey wouldn’t it be cool to draw in 3D? Well here is an interesting conceptual application that will let you do just that. I think that this has so much potential as a way to start modeling to get your thoughts into maya [...]
Shot 13: 3D Test Shot
Above is a test shot that I have made for my film “Automatic Doors”. In the shot the main character is preparing to leave her apartment. I have the camera pan with her as she leaves the room and heads out into the hall. I wanted to do something different that would be more interesting [...]
Cheney the Liar!
This was such a blatant lie on Vice President Cheney’s part that I had to post something. In the debate on October 5th with Senator John Edwards Cheney said “Now, in my capacity as vice president, I am the president of Senate, the presiding officer. I’m up in the Senate most Tuesdays when they’re in [...]
Recalls in Cali.
I added a four new pieces of art work in the PORTFOLIO section. I keep wondering whether it is worth writing stuff here or not. I figure that I should do it for myself rather then for others. Sorry to get political but I got an email about the Texas issue, I know that there [...]
NYC Blackout!
“The rats have taken over!”, or at least that is what one of the signs said when I was checking out the subway this evening. Their calling it the Blackout of ’03… makes it sound rougher then it was. I mean don’t get me wrong I hated it. Hell I am still recovering from a [...]
Daily News
So I am running late for the train and i am stopped by one of those guys who sells newspapers. I never buy the newspaper for the train, motioned that I was not interested. He said that it is a promotional copy of The Daily News. So I took it figuring that I might be [...]
Welcome
Welcome to my new web site, which actually was launched last Wednesday. I have yet to have any time to update much because of my job and the 60 hour work week I have to keep. But I figured that I can do a little every night, that a away it will eventually get done. [...]
