Pirate Girl

Here's a Pirate Girl sketch I did for a friend's Birthday. Sorry, but I can only give you the B&W version, 'cause he has the colored original.

Life Drawing

Hey everybody! I'm sorry I haven't posted any new artwork lately, so here is something I did last night at the studio. The reason I'm not posting as fast as I used to, is that when I finished on "The Simpsons Movie" I lost access to all the cool stuff they gave me to do the job, which was a beautiful 21 inch Wacom Cintiq loaded with all the latest in Photoshop, Painter, and a large 11X17 scanner, da woiks! I ain't got any of dat stuff at home! So I'm now in the process of acquiring all of the necessary equipment, and as you all know, it ain't cheap. So for now, a snapshot will have to do!

Hawaii!

Sorry I haven't been around for a while, but I've been pretty busy to post new stuff lately. I'm just recovering from the San Diego Comicon and a visit to my family in Hawaii, where I did an appearance on the local talkshow with Hawaii comedian Andy Bumatai, plugging the Movie and The Simpsons Handbook. It was fun to play celebrity for a minute! Our movie is doing gangbusters, and I couldn't be more relieved that we're a success! By the way, the picture at the top is of me and my twin brother Phillip, and he's an artist too!

The Simpsons Movie World Premiere

This is it! Last night in Westwood Village, we had the World Premiere "Yellow Carpet" screening of the "Simpsons Movie" at long last. It was a huge gala night with a marching band, limos, the whole nine yards! After seeing the final cut of the movie(God knows, we had SO many different cuts of this film, it's a miracle seeing the thing finally DONE...) We all went over to the Wadsworth theater grounds for a massive after party, full of all kinds of activities, photo ops, dancing, bars, food and drinks. This was probably the biggest Simpsons event we've thrown , and I've been working on this show since the 2nd season! There were plenty of famous faces in attendance as well, some that I got to see: Joe " Fat Tony" Mantegna, Olympian Michelle Kwan, Kevin Smith, Marisa Tomei, Masi Oka from "Heroes", as well as our very own Matt Groening and illustrious Supervising Director of the movie, David Silverman, Homer himself, Dan Castellaneta, and all of my friends and crew members who slaved away at this film at a breakneck pace to get it done. And in record time for an animated feature film! I love you guys! My girlfriend Laurie and I had the best time, and I hope folks will like our little film when it opens this Friday! Go check it out! Woo Hoo!

Hey Kiddies!

Hey Kiddies! Check it out! We just released a brand-spankin' new Simpsons Handbook, the one-stop reference book on how to draw the Simpsons. A bunch of us crew members got to even contribute our tips on how to draw certain characters. I got to do Kodos and Kang, which was a blast to do! So run out now to your local bookseller and pick up a copy, you'll amaze and amuse you friends and family!
