Hellooooooo Nnnnnnnnnnnew York!

Whoa long time no update! Lots of exciting news

Few months back i applied to Reel FX Apprenticeship program again but unfortunately didnt get it. I knew it was time to try something new and as of Feb 28th I now live in New York!!!

The move happened so fast had 12 days to pack up and move! Im finally settled in now for the most part. Trying to Start to get creative again.

Last week I submitted a design to Mugo for their discover series. Theres some pretty awesome designs and it was a fun experience whether it gets made or not Dewey still makes me giggle.

I've also had a commission painting in the works for a while. Now that im settled im ready to finalize the drawing and get to work! Im doing a piece with the creature from the black lagoon and im pretty excited about it.

I also just recently got Flash cs5 and I'm going to attempt to get serious about flash and make some fun little shorts. I plan on going back and actually animating this video I planned out over 2 years ago!

Be There or Be Square!

Hey! I know its a bit late but I created some holiday cards this year. It was my 3rd consecutive year making cards for the holidays. This year was special though because Its my first year really starting to brand myself as Bruckaroni and I got them printed professionally rather than booboo walmart photos.

Heres the design for the front and back



and here is the inside design



Im pretty happy with the design of the card this year and I hope you guys enjoy it! Sorry I couldn't send one out to everyone it was a limited printing because I wanted to try it out and see how they came out. Next year I will try to print more!

Other news this Saturday is the opening of the new Tates show and I will have a new piece in it



 Sometimes ill wait until after the show to post the paitning but I've decided to put it up early for a preview this time around

Here is the original rough sketch



Then the rough moch up of it just to get my basic look before i hit the canvas

Hey Everyone!

November has been an exciting month lots of updates.

The past couple of months Ive been working hard to prepare for the next Reel Fx apprenticeship!

Earlier this month their facebook page turned 1 year old so I decided to make a little gift for them.

This is the original video that i spoofed. 

And Here is my spoof. I got lucky cause it was a nice sunny day out and when i set up to film the weather took a turn for the worst which was awesome

I also shave some work on display right now at Urban Brew Cafe in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. I found out about the show kind of last minute and I had been busy animating away, however I ended up hanging 3 old pieces and i managed to squeeze this little guy out. to have something new for the show.



Id like to do a crash dummy series Ive got a couple mroe characters sketched out which should be fun.

I've also been slaving away on my ReRun animation. 1 cold and many late nights later here it is
