Lady of Sicily(TRINACRIA)




This desgin is my take on an ancient Sicilian design that is carved in stone all over Sicily and is on it's flag. It's Medusa surrounded by three bare ladies legs. This goes back to Ancient Greece, the legs represent the three beautiful shores of the island and Medusa was to show that the people of Sicily worship and are protected by the Goddes Athena. The name "TRINACRIA" when this symbol is known by but it also is the ancient name for the island. It means "Triangle" the shape of the island


I screened this on the back of my motorcycle jacket and I get alot of great response from it, Sicilians and Italians how know what it is always come up to me or while I'm riding the bike, talk to me from their car windows.


The name is a mock motorcycle brand I made up. MINGIA is a Sicillian swear word.

More of my Past



Thanks to all who left comments on my last post. It was a real pick me up. Work is a little time consuming at the moment so I put good old Prof. Von Drake up.
One of the many little project shorts that was done at Disney Toronto. I am glad I got to work on so great classic characters. Referencing them was a blast.
All that said in done , I'd like to say that it's easier to draw when to have a model sheet in front of you giving you proportions . It's totally different when it design has to come out of your own mind, I have a great respect for designers ,thats why I'm posting my blogs art to try and catch up on all the years I was animating and to consumed with footage . seeing everyone's art work is very inspiring.

A BEAST for a SMOOK



My friend Smook thought I should put up animation keys I have done on past productions. I couldn't get the hole page scanned, the paper is 16 FLD and my scanner is only 8.5 by 11. The top is who tight I would go to had off to an assistant and the 2nd is a rough before I tighten.
B&B2 1996 Disney Toronto Canada , my first Disney production.
This character has a special place in my heart. I do miss Classical ... You have to do it to understand it.
I always admired Frank Thomas Ward Kimball and Glen Keane . They animated with emotion you could see it in the hard and soft of there pencil lines on the paper. They were searchers, meaning they would feel the drawing out and when things would come into light there pencil would harden in it determination an pull the character out. This was vey much how I animated.
I always said if Frank Thomas, Ward Kimball and glen Keane were fused as one he would have been a kickass son of a bitch. I also looked to the other greats don't get me wrong , but in my beginning years I would look to those three and study their work. To give me a foundation to start from.

Any Buyers?


This is an idea for a show I had that was in was inspired by my daughter when she was 6 yrs old and I named it after her.
It's a show about learning languages. It would be great if I could find interest in it.
