    Kid Hercules Comes Alive!

    Here it is! I’ve been waiting for this moment for quite awhile- the moment when I could bring Kid Hercules to life! During the course of my 365 challenge,  a friend of mine suggested I do a walk cycle, and then animate it later. The second gif shows the untouched scans from my sketchbook. As you can see, I wasn’t able to properly align my “frames” since I drew them in a Moleskine. Even after cleaning things up a bit in Photoshop, Kid Hercules is still a little jittery, but it was super fun to do and I’m oddly proud to see my character come to life after working on him for such a long time.

    Here’s just a few samples of my ongoing 365 challenge for a character I’m developing called Kid Hercules. I actually completed the challenge back in April, but have a pretty big backlog of images to upload. This has been such a great project and something that has helped improve my work in ways I never expected!

    One of my clients, up-and-coming TeeGee Toys, was recently featured in a local TV news segment. Even cooler (for me, at least!) is that you can see part of the illustration I did for their New York Toy Fair display on Tom’s iPhone when he’s demonstrating how TeeGee works.

    I recently completed a giant display illustration for TeeGee Toys, who will be first-time exhibitors at the 2012 New York Toy Fair this Feb 12-14. At 10’x8′ it is literally the biggest job I’ve ever had! I’m super excited that my work will be on display at one of the coolest events in the world. Below are some shots of me with the final display before it has its debut in NY.
