Birthday Beast: The Balloon Belcher

I need to be vigilant. A Birthday Belcher has been sighted raiding birthdays today! Birthday Belchers swoop down on unsuspecting birthdays and gobble up all the balloons. They then use their consumed balloon power and search for the next party high in the sky. Once they see their next target they belch extra balloons out to land and gobble more! Happy 2nd Birthday Tejas!

Villain of the day: Folks who made me animate Justin Bieber

I try not to talk about my day job much and try to keep this blog about entertaining you with random weirdness of villainous encounters. But after having to move on from Warner Bros. after 9+ years I've had to embark on a quest to find the next new landing spot. I had no idea what was waiting for me in the wilderness of job hunting. I ran into a studio that wanted me to do the unthinkable.... They wanted me to animate a Justin Bieber walk cycle. I have nothing really against Justin Bieber. How can I? I've never met the guy. But the fact that I have to deal with his persona in pop culture on a daily basis tests my limits on how much I can handle. Needless to say, I've had my fill of Justin Bieber after spending this much time with him. (Okay, fine, just a few hours. Give me a break, let me vent.) I was asked to start from scratch and design him in Ameba Pigg style featuring the Black Eyed Peas. They provided this as reference:
So, after staring at that for a bit, I ended up with this below:

Animating a Justin Bieber walk cycle has awoken me from my slumber. Soon, you will see my "modified" version to cope and digest this villainous encounter in my life.

The Abysmal Tourist


Sometimes when I disappear into what I call the creative abyss I encounter different types of characters. On my last outing I ran into this guy.

He said he was touring the abyss for vacation and kept talking to me. I told him to go away but he had no one else to bother. Since I am too scrawny I couldn't beat him up and had no choice but to put up with it.

After our conversation he asked to take photos of him in different locales. The problem was he wanted to use my camera because his was brand-new and didn't want to scratch it.

I like to call him "The Abysmal Tourist".

The Suited Skateboarder



After the recent financial meltdown Dennis Evilbuck lost his money and fancy Ferrari. He now takes to the streets of Venice, California using a skateboard for transportation in an attempt to look cool. He skates from potential victim to victim attempting to swindle them of their money.

He never tries to perform skate tricks for fear of wrinkling his exquisite suit, embarrassing real skaters everywhere. Poseur!
