scale-ee-bear: "dayton"

i occasionally go to a local coffee shop to do my ringtales animation work. the atmosphere is nice with exposed brick, hardwood floors, ample space to sit and work and a few odd antiques lying around. their internet connection has been on the blink recently and while waiting for a connection that never came i noticed that the old scale sitting on a counter top looks rather like an odd bear. this is pretty much exactly what it looks like.



i want to find more things that look like bears or other animals now and draw them in this fashion.

purple bear

painted with neon acrylics during my final semester at calarts around april, 2007.



i wish i had picture of him in his ultraviolet gloweyness but my rabbit ate my blacklight.

two old sketches

probably from some time in 2008


this one was more recent from around mid 2009


and for those who don't know, besides animating for ringtales again i have also taken on an internship over at shadow machine building sets and props for their new show "frankenhole". it doesn't leave me much time to make stuff for myself anymore but i am making money with ringtales and having a ton of fun over at shadow, so, i feel pretty alright about not having much free time.
