Tumblr

I'm not sure if you guys know about Tumblr or not, but I've set up a page there.



From what I can gather, it's like a blog site on steroids that can post to Twitter and Facebook in tandem and has a lot of nice features like following, liking of posts, and other cool stuff. Plus it's really easy to setup and design a custom page.

Swing by and have a look, and if you get a page set up, let me know. I'll have you over to my Tumblr house and serve tea and cookies. Then we'll watch "On Golden Pond."

Happy (Late) Valentine's Day!

I drew this on Saturday, with every intention of posting it on Sunday, but then... forgot.



So Happy Late Valentine's Day to everyone! After all, why should my wife be the only person I give a Valentine's Day gift to late?

The Crab

This may or may not wind up in an upcoming iPhone App that a friend of mine is or isn't working on.



I may or may not be an idiot.

Blake Rig

One question I get asked a lot is if I can share the Animation Mentor rigs. The simple answer is that I cannot, but I can tell you about an awesome one created by Jason Baskin that is available free of charge at CreativeCrash.com



I started playing around with Blake this weekend, and created a simple walk cycle, since I knew it would use the bulk of the rig. Overall I found Blake to be pretty functional, though I did have some issues with his tie. Luckily he is highly customizable, as you can see from the image above, so I just went with a turtleneck instead of the tie.

The rig has actually been around of some time now, and Jason has made some great improvements to it. So if you're looking for a solid (and free) rig to animate with, you really can't go wrong with Blake.
