Until then... hey why not make yourself your very own Mr. Obtuse for your desk! download these plans and get crafty. Use your noggin and see if you can put it together.

No Obtuse today

hey everyone... i'm sorry to say that there is no Mr. Obtuse this week. I've been pretty busy and wasn't able to get to it. 

from now on i am going to reduce the frequency of the episodes to every 2 weeks, due to work and life commitments. i wish i could just work on Mr. Obtuse all day but it doesn't pay the bills... yet.

so you will just have to be patient... there will be more, just not as often.

thanks for understanding!

Mr Obtuse episode 5! finally here

hey all you Obtuse fans... i'm really sorry for not posting an episode last tuesday. I was on vacation in NYC so i wasn't able to do it.

BUT fear not! here is episode 5 for your viewing pleasure!

and for you itunes  subscribers, don't forget to update your podcast!

Mr. Obtuse Paper toy!

hey all,

look at this...

its a prototype of the Mr.Obtuse paper toy.  waddaya think? you want one?

i have to make some small adjustments but its pretty much there. it was printed on crappy paper so thats why it looks less than pro. but i'll make a better one, and then i'll post the plans for download so you all can make one.

i'd really like to make vinyl toys of him (and cubecat of course... which i will do a brand new paper toy of next), so we'll see.

Chubby Dee on Crackle

hey all,

i should have posted about this sooner, but you can now find my cartoon "Chubby Dee in: Stale Sale" that i did so long ago, on CRACKLE.COM it's been featured recently (which is when i should have talked about it) and you can watch it in HIGH RESOLUTION! so take a look!

I really want to do a lot more with that character, and hopefully i will get a chance to. I have a whole pitch worked out and even an entire pilot storyboard ready to go... all i need is someone with money or a network willing to take a chance on it. any takers?

anyways, enjoy the old film in good quality video in the meantime....here

OBTUESDAY!

HEY HEY it's the 4th installment of OBTUESDAY!  can you believe i've been doing this for a month already?

If you haven't already, be sure to subscribe to the PODCAST as you will be automatically updated with new episodes when they are made and you can watch them on your ipod. and be sure to write a review!

or you could just watch the latest episode here or 

on youtube.  but youtube has crappy quality.

Mr. Obtuse_ episode 03

alright! here be episode 3 of Mr. Obtuse.

AND i am proud to announce that you can now find Mr. Obtuse as a PODCAST on iTUNES!

just click on this link HERE to subscribe to it.

i'll still put it up on youtube, but the quality on itunes is MUCH MUCH better. plus if you subscribe you'll automatically get the latest episode downloaded to your computer and ipod. YOU CAN'T LOSE!... unless i become too busy and can't produce them as often. but lets hope that doesn't happen. In fact i'd much rather expand on the world and make it a longer, fuller, more legit show... rather than a one minute joke i produce in my basement, Patience jayson... Patience!

enjoy.

also, check the side bar for Mr. Obtuse quicktimes in nice, high(er) quality.

Designs

here's some designs i did as a favor for a show that was being pitched. 

went nowhere. hopefully not due to these.

Space Ape

here's an old idea that went nowhere... maybe its a good thing... you decide.

More found doodles from the ol' notebook

Mr. Obtuse_ episode 02

We regret to inform you that Mr. Obtuse will not be shown this week.

APRIL FOOL!  Enjoy episode 2

MR.OBTUSE!

here it is.. the first episode of Mr. Obtuse.

i hope to make every tuesday.. mr. Obtuesday.

check back to see if i can manage to do it

more found doodles

found!  

i suppose that steak he's carrying is like a security blanket or something.

cool robot.  needs some repair it seems.

PUCCA DVD

don't forget to pick up your copy of PUCCA season one on dvd! HERE!

notebook treasures

so now that i'm completely wrapped off Pucca season 2 i'm taking some much needed time off.... not too much time though. DAMN YOU VANCOUVER HOUSING PRICES!  anyways, i was going through some of my notebooks full of pages and pages of show notes and i found some doodles hidden amongst the scene numbers and revision calls. sometimes my fingers get antsy while we're in a meeting discussing important problems like how to deal with the vibrating line issue or how to make a 3d render fit in flash. YAWN.

i like fish hats ever since i went to Tokyo and saw all these weird costumes in Tokyu Hands, a department store with just about anything you can imagine. they have a whole section just for office party costumes. i got a funny pic of me in a fish hat, though it sorta works better on a cartoon somehow.

weird.

MUSSELOOM!

Here he is! the one and only Musseloom! it took me a while, but i finally finished him... only took 3 failures to get here too! this one is a prototype, but if there's enough interest i might be persuaded to make more. ultra velour (minki) body and felt details.


i also made a little intro video of him... stay tuned for further development!

Paper toy

Okay, here's my first atempt at paper folding toys. CUBECAT ! it's very simplistic i know but i gotta start somewhere... download , print, cut, paste and enjoy!here he is finished.

pucca opening sequence ANIMATIC

i was rooting around my files when i came across the final animatic for the opening sequence for Pucca the series. it was all done in flash by Tim Packford initially, then i took a stab at it a few times. what you see here is the hybrid of both my and Tim's version. we spent extra time on the animatic, as you can see it's practically animated... this made it really easy to translate to the animator (Jos Humphrey) who did a bang up job. Music by Plus Tech Squeeze Box, an amazing, crazy, electro-pop band from Japan.



and here be the finished product...(unfourtunately i could only find a french version on youtube)
