The Most Productive Artist In My House

It's true. I have been working some long hours here at the day job. My current project has just been born, and it still a bit wobbly on it's young legs. It will be fine, but right now it needs a bit of extra love.

Next week, I will re-start my regular blog posts. No really! I will. But for today, I just wanted to share something with you that I thought was pretty cool.


My son Aidan, who just turned five, loves to draw. When I get home late in the evening, I find sketches waiting for me on the kitchen counter. Fantastical drawings, featuring some of the coolest robot designs I have ever seen. He is better than I was at five years old, and his understanding of advanced robotics is really quite extraordinary.

Over the weekend, Aidan received a pad of tracing paper. While tracing paper might be frowned on later in your career, as a very young artist I frequently traced over some of my favorite artist's work just to get familiar with their lines. I couldn't have been prouder when Aidan asked me to sketch up a robot for him to trace.


He worked very, very hard to make it just right.


Steady hand...

... and presto! Better than Dad's.

I think this kid has a future in robotics.

Losing My Bolts

It's been a while!

It has been odd staying away from the blog for this long. And you must know, if I am not posting... I must be really freaking busy. Some highlights of my recent "crunch":

• I am art directing one of the biggest online games (maybe the biggest?) that CN has done "in-house."
• I am also the concept artist on the game, which means I need to spend a lot of time drawing.
• I am art directing a bunch of other games in production.
• I have a family who likes to know I exist.

I am still drawing. I will blog again!
Thanks for hanging in,

Jeremy

My Valentine Hero

Something I made for my wife as a Valentines Day card.

I am alive, I promise.
There will be cool things posted to the blog.
Right now I am trying to survive the crunch.

Stick with me!

Time Away

As someone who tries to post to my blog as often as I possibly can, I get a bit stressed when days slip by with no updates. However, there are times when life just asks that you focus on other things. I am in "crunch" here at the studio on a project that is set to launch in March, and I have been tackling a bit of freelance in my evening hours.

For now, my posts will be limited, but I promise you that I am still cooking up many things. I'm not going anywhere and still have plenty to share. I thank you for your patience.

Stomach Flu

My entire family has been hit with this guy.
I don't recommend it.
