Jim Draws!

Here's something I've been working on lately for fun called "Jim Draws". Where I draw something, talk about it and you get to watch. Earlier episodes were shot on a camera with a bad auto focus, but this episode was shot with a better camera. Take a look and let me know what you think of it.

Tis the Season!

This weekend, we had a dialogue recording session for our upcoming Watchcat Holiday short "Tis the Season". We recorded actors Andrew James Jones and Rick Almada. Andrew is our new voice of Watchcat, while Rick will be doing several voices including an old lady, a young guy and the big bad guy. 

Had some unforeseen technical difficulties while I was working on this in 2017. I will be ahead for Christmas 2018.

Honeynut bee by me!

Here's the latest Trix commercial, where 3 famous animated General Mills cereal mascots react to a real talking rabbit. Calabash Animation in Chicago hired me to animate Buzz the Honeynut Cheerio bee using Maya. It was a great opportunity and a fun spot to work on!
