A friend of mine came by my studio space last week and put a blog entry up on his visit to my place, with pictures that he took of inspirational things he saw here... I thought it was a cool idea so I decided at my next pit stop through my man's spot I would do the same.  Sub DF has been a long time inspiration for me, man, gotta be dating back to probably 92' when I was first introduced to his walls, meeting around 94 and kept in touch ever since. In 95' I asked him his opinion about my work and what he thinks would be a good move for me to study in college, his response - "Yo man, you should do animation, you see all this shit on MTV these days? The industry is booming right now"   This was the days of Liquid Television, and shows like Aeon Flux, Ren & Stimpy, and The Head, who another of our friends Ted had been working on... So needless to say I looked up to these guys and followed Tony's suggestion going into a four year focus on traditional animation.  I call it a blessing and a curse, in that I got a grasp of the industry and how to make something come to life, the amount of work involved and the know how etc etc.  A SHIT LOAD OF WORK!!!  But from learning this I know IF AND WHEN I do take that step again, to do it in a better , faster way by utilizing the programs out now that weren't out back in the 90's like After Effects, Blender 3d, Cinema 4D... So for those things... in good time...

Moving on, here's some images from Sub's place, and a couple sneak peaks at a project he is working on that I couldn;t show actually until the project goes public.  I was able to shoot a few images of some still life references though. For the rest you'll have to use your imagination and just wait till everything goes public...  Sit back and enjoy a look into the work space of someone I respect and have watched grow and develop over the past 15 years. Wish I could show more but this will have to do....

oh yes, the ever so hardcore IG 88......
