Proud to call this former student a friend now and watching him kill it in the tattoo game'

We had the good fortune of connecting with Timothy White and we've shared our conversation below. Hi Timothy, what role has risk played in your life or career? I think risk is necessary. Risks require courage, perception, ambition and overall the best of one’s self to accomplish. For the longest

Kid Pix: The Early Years (1991)

Who remembers the greatest digital design program of all time?

So many incredible user features for program this old. I remember spending hours on this thing as a child. The custom stamp tool was way ahead of its time. I think all emoji sets for any social interactions need to have this custom stamp ability added to them immediately.

Kid Pix is a bitmap drawing program aimed at children. This was originally broadcast in 1991. You can watch the full episode here: http://archive.org/details...

Good God, This took me a long time to do the line work on. Now it's just like a coloring book as I block in the colors and then add the secondary tones. There is another shot I am doing in this style, which will be the interior of the building on the far right.

Line work Line work Linnnneeeee work!

Transformers Shape Layers
Transformers Shape Layers

How many can you name? Nastalgia alert right here. This is an in class example for my motion design students, who are working with shape layers for their second assignment. Abstraction is the name of the game here. I asked them to choose a cartoon from their childhood and create 10 seconds of abstraction and shapes leaning on it for inspiration. I went with a personal favorite Transformers. The show felt like it would lend it self really well to the geometry of shape layers and it did not dissapoint. Hope you like it and if you do plz hit the like button or share this video. It means a ton to know you appreciate this animation game ain't easy. The support is really motivating to keep creating awsome stuff.

This has been fun to work on throughout the week. Check out some closeups in the comments below.
Two more low poly models for VR. Medical devices a-go go. I had always hated UV'ing in the past this is something they never taught me much about when I was in school. This current grind has me working at an expert level with them at this point.
Digital landscape starter sketches. Can't wait to do this after over a year of the IRL oil sketches I've been doing.
Finished up the color on this one today!
These will make you want to quit....swedish genius.
Well I hope he's looking at EVA and the condo sprawl on this side of the city.
About time the imagineers started making animatronics again.
Great quick tutorial to improve your digital.
