Just made some finger molds and hand-painted them.

My friends and I have been working together as the group known as 2 Grandmaz to make videos, photos, and various other things. We frequently have no idea what we’re doing and we usually get really depressed and cranky by the end of a project because we feel like we tried too hard or it wasn’t funny/aesthetically pleasing. Above is a video for a character we ended up not liking very much. I think it is a good documentation of how we improvise, brainstorm, and ultimately decide that what we spent 5 hours on wasn’t as good as we had hoped.

My friend Cory asked me to do a painting of Tillie for his store that he is opening in Asbury Park. I started it three days ago with the intention of finishing it today. I took three photos with a self-timer. Here is a .gif

I’m working on an animation for a graphic design studio who is celebrating its anniversary soon. They are also re-branding their “M” icon for the anniversary. All of the animations will have a theme of transformation from the old M to the new M. Here are some screen shots.

I recently assembled a whole butt-load of button packs which are be available through my store. The idea is that you can buy a bunch and mix and match the face components. Currently there are two types of skin colors available: pasty and brown. There are also limited edition hand-cut/hand-collaged button packs with iridescent skin colors. Ch-ch-check it out!

Just finished these a couple days ago. You might think they are screen-printed, but they are actually hand-painted.

I should have screen-printed them because they represent 24 hours of my life that I will never get back.

I just got a whole sack of these printed. You can buy them from my new storefront over here.

I’m working on a pretty decent sized pile. I’m almost ready to distribute them around the town.
