In Nolan We Trust


Okay so I, like many others, pretty much plotzed at the end of Batman Begins after the little mention of The Joker being in the upcoming sequel, officially titled: The Dark Knight.

For quite sometime now I've belonged to a film discussion forum, and every so often I check the upcoming movies thread for discussions about the sequel. So much like everyone else, when it was confirmed Heath Ledger was to play The Joker criticisms, praise and confusion were posted all over. But those who were so amazed with Nolan's take on Batman would always chime in citing their faith in Nolan's skill time and time again. After months of this it just seemed like the phrase "trust Nolan" was the rubber-stamped reply to all those who questioned the latest news leaked out about the film.

Now, one can only do this so long before the little gears in my head start a'turnin and my fingers get itchy for some Photoshop manipulatin'. So here is my smart-alec gift to the "Nolan faithful".

Recent Sketches

"Baldrick, the cocker-spaniel please!!"

Ok so I , like many other kids, grew up watching daytime children's programming on PBS. But it wasn't just kid shows, there was the suspiciously mellow Bob Ross' painting program "The Joy of Painting", various documentaries and specials, and sometimes, because of my dad I had to sit through some of Bob Villa's "This Old House".

PBS was how my parents spelled culture, however my after dark PBS programs like Benny Hill, Red Dwarf, Mr. Bean, Monty Python's Flying Circus, would have a hard time being described as cultured..... maybe Dr. Who....

However, one of my fave British sitcoms had to be Black Adder. In honor of the show I am posting this 3 step process of how the finished piece came to be.

300: The Oracle


So now that I am freed from the shackles of my thesis, I have the time to illustrate and doodle work for sheer fun. What a concept!! I started browsing through drawingboard.org and found a "300 thread". The goal of this thread is for members to post up 300 works inspired by the film.

Here is my contribution. I think I'm number 218....

My Completed Thesis Film


So this is my completed (award-winning) thesis film. It was originally inspired by the illustration works of Leo and Diane Dillon. Its a story I came up with on my own for my highschool Spanish class (it was also the only assignment I got a good grade for). Enjoy!
