Family Guy Video Reference/Animatic/Final Comparison

Here's a cutaway gag featured in the Family Guy episode, "Quagmire's Mom." Family Guy isn't known as a very animation-heavy show, so I relish the few times I get to do something with the slightest bit of action or animation. I didn't really trust the overseas studio to get the arcs, secondary action, etc. right with this one, so I shot reference of myself at my desk and posed the hell out of the storyboards. Wish I could have animated or timed it too, but it was still fun to do. Enjoy my smooth, soulful grooves.

Selected Pages From Peanuts Comic Book

I had the honor of a lifetime to illustrate some brand-new stories for the new Peanuts comic book from Boom! Studios last year. Here are some of my favorite pages:

Fanboy and Chum Chum EP251: Attack of the Clones

Original storyboard from Nickelodeon's Fanboy and Chum Chum, episode 251, "Attack of the Clones".  A really fun episode to board, from a hilarious script. Much credit is due to the great Eddie Trigueros for a ton of heavy lifting in the third act. Directed by the similarly-awesome Brandon Kruse.

Happy Comic-Con 2011!

I'm taking this year off from the San Diego Comic-Con-- each year seems to get more and more packed, inaccessible, and claustrophobic.  But that won't stop me from doing a really stupid comic with lots of nerdy animation jokes to celebrate the event in my own little way.

Enjoy, and I'm sorry.

Welcome!

Welcome to my shiny new art blog for your bookmarking pleasure! As I was setting this up, I wasn't necessarily posting work in chronological order, so your best bet might be to click under the "Categories" sidebar on the top right to see a specific area of art-ness.

Most of the work herein was created over the last year or so working in TV animation, and I hope to be updating this much more regularly than I have in blog days past. If I don't, I invite you to yell at me in the comment sections.

Thanks, and Enjoy!
Matt
