The highlight of my weekend was a visit from old school chum and fearless leader Dave Chai. He walked all the way across downtown San Jose and right into our favorite taqueria carrying an enormous skeletal cow pelvis in order to present it to pawpad, because he's that nice a guy. In addition I must mention his Spike-&-Mike-esque animated short film just won a film festival competition, check it out and his new studio in Detroit as well.

This started as just a sketch from life of a guy in a really bright orange shirt, but then I added an evil monochrome Saint Peter figure to make it more interesting, albeit ridiculous.

Great pictures, and that was a great little film! =D

I'm just glad I could spread the love.

*misses Mr. Chai*
Maybe I'll make an effort to be in town next time he visits :)

Its always an experience. Lots of fellowship and good cheer and silly pantomiming. You should come!

I'm always amazed at the depth you can achieve on your drawings. The top one looks like the foreground belongs in a sunny film while the back is... noir, or something. I love the oddness!

I'm always flattered to get a compliment from you. I've gotten into the habit of drawing things, especially faces, in greyscale in photoshop. They do look kind of cool sometimes contrasted with strong colors, I'll have to try and explore that more.

Why? your work is infinitely better than mine. I'd like to be able to capture light and figure like you do someday. The greyscale thing sounds neat - I'll definitely try it out.
