The Bill Plympton FlickerFrame Tribute

-
So here is a collaboration I did with an animator that I connected with via LinkedIn and Facebook.  His name is Mike Schneider and he was working with other animators to make a homage piece for Bill Plympton where he connected with several illustrators and animators (including me) to generate a frame for a flicker frame portion of a full-length animation.  Here is a little more information about the project on this link:

Here is the completed portion and explanation that was posted by Mike on YouTube:

And lastly here is the frame that I designed:



Unfortunately, it seems the animators that were supposed to create the final animation did not complete the project.  Oh well, at least I had a good time creating it.

A New Quarter, A Chance For More Illustration...

-

In my design field for my curriculum at the Art Institute of Seattle, we, as students, get minimal chance to illustrate.  Less so... do we get a chance to use Fine Arts skills in general since this is more of a design trade school of sorts.  I, however, push the chance to use my illustration skills whenever I get a chance, and fortunately this quarter, I am able to take a few extracurricular animation courses that afford me the opportunity to draw.  Here is my study that I conducted on the human skull.  I used several types of traditional media and titled the piece fittingly, "Using Mediums To Channel The Dead (Heads)"... Enjoy.

The Continued Mission of the ArtDragon - Mastering Illustration

So as stated before... I am truly attempting to give validation to illustration as the answer to everything.  I have finally started my Masters program at the Academy of Art University and here is the introduction that I presented to my instructor and classmates for my Clothed Figure Drawing class. Hello, everyone, My name is Thomas Allen Beck and I am currently enrolled at the Academy of Art University to pursue a MFA in Illustration.  I am placing a focus on Editorial/Children's Books/Advertising because I feel that it is the broadest and most direct avenue to use Illustration as an answer to any design problem.  I just recently graduated from the Art Institute of Seattle with a BS in Industrial Design, but my graduate project/thesis was designing an illustration consultancy that I branded as I, Story.  Technically, it is what I have already been doing through Insanity-Print and Publish since my honorary discharge from the US Navy after 14 years of enlisted serv...

A Few Comic Strips For Fun

-

Although I was not able to finish my Superbowl 50 comic strip because of time constraints with classes, family, and work, I finished the first two pages and they were well received.  In the long run, there will be a page with the playoff breakdown and a page to represent Peyton Manning in all his glory with the Superbowl win.  Yes, a bitter taste in my mouth, since I am and will always bleed Silver and Black. Another "comic strip" that I did in this class has a dramatic twist at the end.  It was definitely to poke fun and provide a little satirical levity in this ridiculous election year.  Enjoy, and remember to never take life too seriously.  Worry exacerbates ulcers along with promoting bad moods.
