Here’s the completed film, the theme this time was Carnival. I’m responsible for the beaver with the silly hat, eating a corn dog.

You can also check out photos of the event here.

I participated in the second Drinking and Drawing Boston event last night at Paddy O’s. Another successful event that brought a lot of  artists together to create an animated film.  This go around we had an added treat, Dave Schlafman, a talented and successful animation director presented his work and held a Q&A.

The film should be completed in a few days and once it is I’ll post it here. I can at least offer a little tease with a peak at the title image (seen above). I was glad to be asked to draw it. It was done on an index card with a sharpie which for me was a nice change from how I usual draw. I often sketch out my ideas with paper but quickly jump to the computer and my wacom tablet. So sadly I think this is my first post of work that wasn’t done digitally.

The Drinking and Drawing Boston video is complete. I was able to get a couple cracks at the light table night, including the first 8 frames of the video, so don’t blink. It was fun event and I’m looking forward to the next one.

I had a chance to participate in the ‘Drinking and Drawing’ event on Monday night at Paddy O’s in Boston. It’s an event dreamed up by Dan Meth and Frederator and first kicked off in NY before hosting this one in beantown. That’s me working away with a pint of Guinness in by belly. It’s a fun event that brings animators together to collaborate to create a hand drawn animated film in one evening at a bar. Each artist has 10 minutes to draw 8 frames of animation. When the time is up the next person picks up where they left off. It’s not pictured there but there are six artists working together at one time on their own light boxes. The drawings are being digitized right now and will be up soon, I’ll be sure to post it here. There are some phots up on Flickr and boston.com snapped some too. The story should be printed in the globe next week.
