Thank You Comic Con

What an amazing Comic con. Thank you all so much for your support and wishes. I really appreciate it especially if you came looking for me. I met so many artists at this convention that I have admired for years. It was a pleasure to meet you all.

The best part of working a table was helping everyone see the images. I had heard that about 95 percent of people had the ability to see stereo once the knew how. I had no idea how this would be received as it's kind of a stretch. That statistic turned out to be quite true. With a short explanation, a few puzzled faces that quickly turned into a smile when it clicked, was all it took. I got some amazing reactions from some. I wish I had it on camera.

Thanks also to Cartoon Brew for the mention.
A bunch of you found me because of that post. I'm going to catch my breath after the hectic week. In the meantime here's another 3D image for you. Instructions to see this are HERE .

San Diego Here We Come

So the time has come. The big day. Wanna copy of "Depth Charge, 3D Illusions"? Head up to booth B8 at the exhibitor tables and I'll help you see the illusions float off the page.
I'll have some extra gear with me which I haven't told anyone about yet, so swing on by and you'll be one of the first to know. I'll post about it after the Comic Con has finished for all those that can't make it. What could it be?
See you there my friends.

Totoro Forest Project

There has been a secret project going on for the last while called the TOTORO FOREST PROJECT which I an very happy to be part of and we are now allowed to share the info with you. This is an unbelievable collection of over 200 international artists joining together the help spread the word in an effort to preserve Sayama Forest, also known as Totoro Forest. Hayao Miyazaki used this forest as an inspiration for "Totoro".

Above is my contribution to the project. How does this work? Well there will be an auction held at Pixar on the 6th of Sept 2008, and the best thing is that ALL of the proceeds will be donated to the Totoro Forest Foundation. Fantastic. There will also be a book produced collecting all the artwork involved in the project. Please help in saving this very special place.

This amazing project was spearheaded by Dice Tsutsumi, Enrico Casarosa, and Ronnie del Carmen. You'll be hearing a lot about this project over the next while. The artwork is spectacular and you can see it in the gallery section of the TOTORO FOREST PROJECT. It should be an incredible auction. Please help spread the word about this.

Live Color, 3D Color Mixing

Thank you so much for the comments and the emails I got over the last few days. I can feel the moment it clicked for you and that makes me really happy. Thanks also to Drawn! for spreading the news. Glad to have you here if you headed over from this great site.

Well, I promised you in the last post that the 3D illustrations wouldn't be the only thing I've been doing with my work. Want to see some colors you've never seen before? So here's the kicker. You don't need color to be premixed for you. Your mind can do it, and it will look alive and vibrant as the left and right side of your brain piece it together.

If you missed the last post, a simple 3 STEPS will get you on the right track to see my images in 3D. More info after the pic.....



Who knew you could have so much fun with a copyright notice. 3D and color mixing. That will add some life to it.

The new book "Depth Charge, 3D Illusions" contains a bunch of color mixing 3D illustrations. This one is an easier one to get started on.
There are still some surprises in the book so drop by my table B8 at the San Diego Comic Con and I'll show you.

That's not all. The next post will have info on some of the goodies I'll be bringing with me.
