CODE BLUE

A while back, I animated a short educational film for the Sierra Club.

Below are a few concept art images and the film.

LOST fanart

Lost is coming to an end and I am both excited and saddened for the season finale.
There have been many awe surprising, wtf, and tearful moments within this show. The soundtrack just seems to strike the right cords and the characters drive the show. Nothing on television has done what this show did. Lost... you will be missed...

Howard's second chance

Howard's second chance is a webcomic I recently completed and it experiments with the infinite canvas idea. Click on the image above and enjoy!

Here is a short film my friends and I did over the weekend. It was a lot of fun shooting this. Hope you enjoy.

I want to post an interview I did for Michael Regina!
You can find it here! Michael had a really awesome introduction that left me smiling so I wanted to say thanks Michael! :)

I recently had another interview with CBC radio for my storybook and going in, I was extremely nervous being on the air live. All the thoughts of a whole province listening to me and the fact that there would be no retries flooded my mind. I ended up doing okay but it left me thinking of many different situations that are in a similar vain. For instance, at ComicCons, I am asked to do sketches for people. The best way to draw something for someone in the moment (being 10-15 minutes) is to relax and not take things too seriously. Once we take the situation seriously, that's when we start messing up. All the best sketches I've done was when there was no pressure (like in my note books in high school.) I guess the point is, know that it's not the end of the world if you fail. It's experience and you can only get better at it from that point on. Many people tend to take the safe route out of life (getting a degree because that's what society has told us to do) because they are afraid of failure. Don't let it stress you out. If you're passionate enough about something, it'll work out in the end. If you fail a few times, it's just life asking you, "hey, are you really that passionate about this?" And if the answer is no, then you'll quit. If the answer is yes, then you'll pick yourself up and keep going. :) *I think I'm stealing that line from someone else... I'm unsure where I've heard that before but it's true!

Have a great week!

The White Boned Demon trailer from Denver Jackson on Vimeo.

Hey guys!

So here's a short film called 'the White Boned Demon.' It's only the trailer but you can get a feel for the whole film. I plan to do the 'Astra's Melody' film in the same style (or a very similar style.)

Also, if any of you are living in Victoria BC, you can pick up a copy of the book at Legends Comics! The book itself looks great! It's perfect bound with glossy pages. The gloss really makes the art pop!

Hope you all have a great week!!! :)
