Dog Drawings

Our dog Carol's daycare provider is in the process of updating her website and asked me to do some drawings. She is really cool, and Carol LOVES it there! So if you live in San Francisco, have a dog under 20 pounds, and you're looking for a daycare, I can't recommend her enough! Her business is called Bark to Basics. Oh and of course I had to put a Carol drawing in there.

Hanging by the Pool

I've been busy finishing up TRACY, but I feel like I should post something other than the New Yorker Caption Contest entries. So here is a picture of me swimming in the pool next to the beautiful people at the Mondrian hotel in L.A. during Michele's and my vacation two weeks ago.

It wasn’t easy finding Orthopedic cement shoes.

You’re gonna sleep with the fishes tonight Tommy “Tinny Foot” Jones.

In this economy we have to cut down on our cement use.

We’re trying out some cheaper alternatives to cement. Let us know which foot hits the ground first.

Does that feel better, or do you want to try a size smaller?

Bare in mind cement shoes run a size or two smaller.

Remember your feet are gonna swell with all the bloating and water logging.

Tablecloth Drawings

When I was a kid my favorite part about going to a restaurant was drawing on the paper table setting. I did these today during lunch at Scala's.


Here's the guy I was drawing.


And here's a drawing of Don Rickles. He, unfortunately, was not at Scala's.


Happy New Year from Carol!

2009 Tracy Update!

I've been working on our film Tracy over the holiday vacation to have it "done" in time for the first screening of the fully completed film on February 20th! There is still plenty of work to be done, mainly wrapping up the score during the month of January. I've also been working on some changes to the voice over narration. In recording some of that new voice over recently I noticed this unfortunate similarity...



This is the video image of me recording the audio for the voice over.




...And this of course is the famous "Chocolate Rain" Guy.

Happy New Year!
