Movin' on up! To the east side.

Well, true believers. Your beloved Potentate has changed jobs. I realize most you people haven't a clue as to what I've been doing for a regular paycheck for the past 5 years. Well the answer to that would be I was working as a Background/Prop/Character artist at Warner Bros. First I worked for 6 months on the end of the production on "Batman Beyond". Got laid off. The next day I had a job at Stan Lee Media..... insert joke here. It's funny, I knew it was a sinking ship before I accepted the job, but I ended up having a blast anyway, THANKS STAN, hahaha. 8 months later, got laid off...can you see the pattern?

Well, that all changed when Justice League ramped up for production. What a run that's been. The Bruce Timm bus never seems to run outta gas. Which has been great. Friends on other shows were being hired and laid off, hired and laid off, all in the time that Justice League has been in production. If you ever want to know what I did, look at the designs for the new "Watchtower" the new "Javelin", a whole lotta sci-fi type backgrounds, most of the vehicles(Uniwheel Tank, Transport planes, etc.) from the episode where the "League" travels back in time to fight Vandal Savage during WW2, including the alt. future Batman from that show. I couldn't imagine a better crew and show to work on, but.....

I wanted to do more. So, when I heard of a new show starting over at Cartoon Network, I jumped at the chance to spread my wings a little bit more than I'm able to do on Justice League. That said, as of Monday the 24th I will be the new Art Director on a brand new show. Setting the style of the show will be my job. Not sure if I up to the task, but I'm dying to find out. I'll tell you guy more about the show when I'm aloud to, but for right now I gotta keep it under wraps. But it will have some cool alien designs and monsters. YEESSSSS!!!!!!

Here's a taste of what I got to design.

Awesome designs! But I never knew the animation/design biz was so wishy-washy these days. Thanks for the insight! I'm an art student looking to get into the field in the near future, so it's good to hear news from the "inside". Congrats on the new show! And I'm glad to see your 100 Bullets covers are still holding the #1 spot for BEST COVER DESIGNS EVER!! That upcoming "LOOP" cover is just the epitome of "Bad MuthaFucka". Anyway, sorry for the fanboy gushing, I had to get it out sometime.
