Sometimes I work as a character designer in animation, and one of the things a character designer has to develop is an expression sheet.
Normally an expression sheet just shows how a character looks with a smile, or sad, angry, confused, etc. The designer in me got to thinking the other day about what an expression sheet might look like in these strange times we’re living in.
May I present to you the Coronavirus Character Design…
Spent some time in my sketchbook this past weekend, and got to thinking of everyone out there trying to keep their distance from each other, and breathe without fear. I figure this is probably a pretty accurate depiction of life in the wild, too.
I hope you find your own pot of “gold” at the end of the rainbow today, whatever that means for you during this age of the Coronavirus.
With the whole world shutting down, does the Wuhan Virus really care all that much? It’s gonna do what it’s gonna do….
With everything shutting down here in the United States, and from what I hear, in other countries, too, the plight of the Griswold family from National Lampoon’s Vacation seemed like a natural fit. That poor Coronavirus has travelled all the way from Wuhan, China to come to America, only to find the country closed. Nothing is going to stop it from having some fun.
Here’s hoping it doesn’t get a BB gun at a sporting goods store and start having too much fun at our expense.
Sometimes a bear just needs to feel dapper.
At the stroke of midnight last night, 2019 ended, and 2020 has begun. In an effort to achieve 2020 vision (pun intended), one should reflect upon the past year.
Over on Instagram, they do a thing called “Top Nine” where they show the top nine posts of the year. It was interesting to me that five of the top nine of 2019 were things I posted just in the past two months. Seems that folks can’t get enough Green Eggs & Ham, and they seemed to like lots of my doodles of other people’s characters. Thankfully, they showed some love to one of my originals (dog doodles), as well as a photo of me taken by my pal Brian Joseph Ochab to promote my upcoming appearance at the first ever Bakersfield Mouse Con (a Disney fan convention happening on January 26).
Here’s hoping more fun and exciting projects come across my plate in 2020!
