OOOOH MAN. Gross ups are my FAVORITE. Beyond my favorite. It's become a bit of an obsession actually. If I didn't censor myself, my cartoons would just be a series of disgusting reaction shots and funny faces. It's kind of sick, really. I love the desperate look you've given them. They really look down on their luck. That hairy arm is perfect.
I dig those cat and dog designs too. They have a sort of modern Top Cat type vibe. An "If Ed Benedict were designing today" sort of thing. Great shapes, I especially like the top of the bottom image.
My name is Josh, I'm 24, some people call me Hat.
I dropped out of school and moved to California to pursue my dreams of writing and boarding for animation. I interned at Cartoon Network on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and then at Dreamwork's on 'How to Train Your Dragon'. I recently completed a pilot for Cartoon Network called "The Awesome Chronicles of Manny and Khan" with my good friend Joey Giardina. I also got an opportunity to work on Cartoon Network's Flapjack doing storyboard revisions and clean-up. Now I'm back at Dreamworks doin storyboards for an upcoming animated feature. Animation is my life, it's all I've ever wanted to do... it's all I've ever actually done. I love animation history; Max Fleischer, Frank Tashlin, Michael Lah. I could watch Tex Avery shorts all day.
My heroes are;
Jason Mraz
Tex Avery
Craig McCracken
Stephen Hillenburg
and Ben Franklin
