Animation Experiment 1

David Street — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 15:38:26 +0000

Wow, It’s been a long time since I last posted anything. However, I have actually been working on something. I have always been envious of motion designers. My animation skills have always been somewhat limited, so in an effort to remedy this, I have started working on various experimental projects. Here is the first one I finished sometime last week. It is just under 30 seconds.

I would also like to mention that the music that accompanies this is the song “Pony Operator” By Order Of The Keys.

Trees in the Bayou Are All So Very Friendly

If you have ever been to the bayous of Louisiana, I’m sure you have noticed the wonderful trees. You might be quite surprised to find that they are extremely friendly, and love welcoming you into their home. Next time you are down in the murky waters of the bayou pop you head under water for a moment and you might just see something like this…

Zombies, Are We?

Here is a new illustration I’ve been working on for a few days. This illustration utilizes a couple different methods. First I drew out a basic vector design. Once I was satisfied with the general look, I printed out a copy. I laid a piece of somewhat transparent paper on top and began stippling to add a little bit of depth. I then scanned in that drawing and laid it on top of the vector design. I then added a some nice tree bark texture of mine, and there we have it!

Oh, and please be careful. The zombies are coming after you next!

The Melancholy Story of Joe

Well, I’m sure we all remember Humpty Dumpty. This is his brother Joe (no, he is not a plumber). You see, in some respects Joe Dumpty is much less unfortunate than his brother Humpty. His head is somewhat misshaped, and his eyes have been placed far too high on his face. Like his brother, Joe has no ears which probably made it really hard to hear the buzz saw coming. When poor Joe finally noticed the saw coming he tried so hard to roll away (in case you hadn’t noticed, he has no limbs), but alas he just could not roll fast enough.

Luckily for Joe, the saw could not shatter his thick outer shell and merely cut him into two nearly equal pieces. Don’t worry Joe! I’m sure it’s nothing a few Band-aids can’t fix.

Growing Pains

Here is my latest T-Shirt design. It may seem vaguely familiar. It is from the same drawing used as the background on this site. I have been wanting to put this drawing on a T-Shirt for a while. Myself, along with the rest of the Captive Collective crew will be out at Tir Na Nog for Local Beers, Local Bands night again this Thursday. I am hoping to have this design printed in time to unveil Thursday night along with another new design.

This design is two colors, gray and yellow, which will be printed on a white shirt.

I seem to have lost my head

Here we have another Halloween inspired sketch. Now, I could come up with some crazy story about this piece, possibly starting with “There once was a naked guy…” , but I’d rather leave this inevitably interesting story to be told by anyone who dares to push the boundaries of convential logic.

And so, the story begins:

A Pumpkin For Halloween

David Street — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:03:05 +0000

Continuing with my new tradition. Here is my latest sketch. Thought this subject might be appropriate with Halloween just around the corner. I suppose I don’t have too much to say about this one. So, without further ado…

Why so sad mr. robot?

David Street — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:46:23 +0000

Alright, so I am going to try to make this a regular occurrence. That is, posting new drawings, designs, sketches, and anything else creative that might leak out of my head.

So here we have it. A robot! I am not entirely sure how this little sketch became a robot, just started drawing, and out came a robot. He seems to be sad. Possibly because he has no legs?

Fish out of water

Here is a new illustration that I have been working on recently. I hope to have some printed up on tee shirts pretty soon. Final illustration is a three color print. Anyways, here is the new illustration along with the scan of the original drawings.

Captive Collective / 88.1 WKNC Shirt

David Street — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 15:22:51 +0000

Tonight is Tir Na Nog’s “Local Bands, Local Beers Night”. There will also be a table set up for voter registration. Captive Collective will be there handing out free t-shirts promoting the launch of our website. The t-shirts are designed around a voting theme. I thought I would share my design with you.
