Gator character
Had a few spare minutes to draw a cartoony alligator. I like the colors I used for this guy. I think I’ll draw him some more. Maybe he will take the spot of my previous alligator character (Ajax) I was using for my golfing story.
Simpsons Irony at the Simpsons Ride
Rachael and I went to Universal Studios yesterday and went on the Simpsons Ride. Now, I am a HUGE Simpsons fan, so when we went into the gift shop I had to see….were they going to be sold out of Bort licence plates?
Yes they were….

Hey Wordy!
My first week as a storyboard artist at Cosmic Toast was a trying one. Right from the start I was pushed to start working on the pilot episode of a new kids show (hopefully coming to PBS) Hey Wordy. From Monday to Friday, I was drawing like a madman in order to get this 22 page script all boarded and ready to be pitched to some execs within the following week.

Here is a little preview of the show…
Matt’s Big Art Update!
In the words of Prof. Farnsworth, GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!!
After months of portfolio work, I am finally a storyboard intern at Cosmic Toast Animation. If I do well, there is a good chance that I will be a full time employee by May. Thank the Lord!
Next: I have been doing some freelance concept and character for a writer and his Vampire novel. This is outside my comfort zone of drawing funny cartoon characters, but hey, money is money, and he really likes what I have created for him.
And of course, I have had time to finally start my long awaited, popular demanded Snordo the Dragon comic! Stay tuned to SNORDO.com for updates on my personal project.

As promised!
the HARE
Here is a quick character sheet of the Hare, the main character in my personal revamp of Aesops’ The Tortoise and the Hare.
My personal spin of the Hare is what he has always been in stories. An egotistical and cocky rabbit.
The Tortoise and The Hare: REVAMP
Here is an old story that I came up with years ago. Instead of showing those horrendous boards I decided to re draw the entire story as well as add more drawings. I couldn’t be more happier with this new version.
