Beatie Boys Video Art

Original painting from the Beastie Boys' Shadrach video directed by Chris Cassidy.

My first experience roto-scoping, and in be-tweening.
I had no idea what I was doing, but I knew how to draw and paint. Animation was a foreign animal to me then. Worked with some great artists and got to meet the Beastie Boys.
Even felt tiny ripples from the San Francisco earthquake while standing quietly and painting.


My paintings in the foreground with Marlon West painting next to me. He reminded me that we were lined up around the room in the order of the animation. Everyone had a different style. Very cool.




Music Video Art

Gouache Painting for a Butthole Surfers Video in the early 90s.
Worked with Bill Stobaugh and Wes Archer.

The bands car drives down the street and into the Den O Sin.

Ampitheater from the 5th Season of The Simpsons


Season 5 of The Simpsons.
A computer print out from a scanned cell.

The Simpsons season 2


Simpsons Halloween Special Season 2
This is a print out from our tiny Macs in the late 80s. The colors did not match the cells.

Simpsons Halloween Special


Color comp (painted with cell vinyl on a cell) for Second Season of The Simpsons' Halloween Special.
I was the Color Supervisor and started up a new color department following Georgie's original Simpsons colors.
Cookie Tricarico painted most of our cells before 5 of us did the final color mark ups.
We used the Mac to color the main BGs, then marked up the characters, props, FX, backgrounds, layouts, and storyboard panels by hand for overseas to use for production.
The computer was too new and the colors didn't match the final cells. Digital ink and paint and the internet didn't exist yet.
We used tiny Macs and stored everything on floppy discs. Sometimes a disc would erase parts of itself. We lost an entire episode once....Stress!!
