MorrisLessmore.com

With today's preview in Shreveport (tonight!!! make sure you come see it), we are launching MorrisLessmore.com! I designed this site earlier this year, with direction from co-Director of the film, Brandon Oldenburg, as well as the talented web developer Austin Meyers. It is ready for you to take in, see, love, and watch for updates on the film, clips, and appearances/screenings!

Morris Lessmore ART SHOW and PREVIEW!

I am SUPER DUPER stoked to announce:

This coming Friday (one week away) we will be hosting a PREVIEW of (our) Moonbot's first short animated film, "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore" here in Shreveport.

There will be a "making of" art show at ArtSpace, and when you get your ticket, that's also good for one of the five preview screenings at the Robinson Film center.

Last, this, and next week we are taking our time and attention putting together a beautiful show which will put you behind the scenes, share the process, and show you the art and work it takes to put together a 15 minute "CGiature" (cg animation + miniatures... I know, sort of a goofy coined term).

We will all be there, there will be food, art, miniatures, drinks, video, film, friends, and my parents! (blush) -- get info and tickets here, and come enjoy the evening. This team has worked so hard and the talent is immense. It is beyond a privilege to be working with William Joyce, Brandon Oldenburg, and many other craftsmen and storytellers. The talent is high, the result is fun, beautiful, magical, and I really feel this is the start of something big. I hope some of you can make it, and I'll see you there!

Why Shreveport doesn't suck

LIFE Drawing!

The first figure drawing session at ArtSpace, here in Shreveport, LA, went GREAT. Here are some of my sketches from last week (click to enlarge):

Shreveportians For Drawing!

YESSSSS.

Come one, Come all, Louisiana locals who care about your craft (or like to drink):

What's keeping me busy:

I know I've been absent here, but thanks for checking in. I'll be back to sharing what I'm doing and more, but for now what's keeping me crazy-busy is constructing and fabricating a miniature movie set with my cohorts here at Moonbot. It's fun, exhausting and educational... BRB...

MOONBOT PROGRESS!!!

Check out test shoot footage of our miniatures over at the Moonbot Blog! This is what's keeping me working around the clock. :)

Mural COMPLETE!

A local friend of MOONBOT is opening a new bar soon, which is promising to be a good time, and something artsy and new for the city... called CITY BAR. The design was consulted by my boss, my friend/coworker Adam and I. Adam and I designed and painted the mural at roughly 13' x 5', designed specifically for this space.


After a couple months and dozens of sessions pushing and pulling the colors, we are happy to say it is finished! You can check it out (if you're in the Shreveport area) this week, when CITY BAR opens its doors.


Also, drop in soon on a Wednesday night when they will be hosting an INDIE-NITE, with good indie rock and alt rock to dance to.
