My friend Beppe suggested he was reading “Moby Dick”. I like that.
2.12 Also…I came upon an illustrator quite by accident, I’d not heard of or seen before. I think he’s amazing. His caricatures are beyond compare, really fun & beautifully done. Check him out…Wouter Tulp.

Close UP….as usual click for a larger image.
Initial sketchbook character design drawing.
I watched Rango for the first time yesterday. Initially, like another animated feature Despicable Me I hadn’t planned on. Like Despicable Me I was pleasantly surprised when I did. The animation was superb. It deserved the accolades it received. Some older folks (although not too older) will recognize the story and character inspiration from an older movie. It’ll be all but impossible for even the most grumpy folks not to laugh throughout the film.

Bermuda the brainiac.
I have a fond childhood memory. Along with the mosquito spray truck that came up our street in the northeastern burbs I grew up, the Mister Softee ice cream truck playing it’s familiar jingle. Now it seems just like everything else Mister Softee’s gone global…Mister Softee China.

Above is a vis dev story beat for A Fish Story. For those of you not familiar with the terminology “vis dev” is short for visual development. A “story beat” is an important part of the story…one that “drives the characters”. These are all terms in “previs” which is short for pre-visualization.
My daughter said the drawing reminded her of the “original Cinderella story. You know, the Chinese folktale?” I never heard of this.
