Hey Everyone, I haven't been on because I have been studying animation and I finished my first class!

Here is my reel of animation basics....



Animation Reel


Right now I am in my second class and got 2 more classes by the time I start applying for internships.  I am also still working on some art and here is a piece I am working on currently for a show on prohibition. There will be text in there done by friend Kerry Cesen.  Here is a link to his work....

Kerry Cessen Website



The piece the illustration is based off of....



The piece is based on a cartoon made during prohibition to show the escalating effects of alcohol of a person over a period of time.  I made it more comedic by using a style that was inspired by cartoonist Virgil Partch, or VIP.

Here is a link to Virgil Partch artwork...

Here is a bonus piece I did on Edgar Allen Poe's, "Annabel Lee." A sad poem about a man losing his love and is haunted by her ghost at sea.... I am going to fix it up soon thanks to my friend Jenny, her website is this....

New Year, New Website!

Hey Everybody, I got a new website up go check it out!!!


My cartoon name is now Bob Charles because my first name is named after my grandfather Bob (mother's side) and my middle name is Charles, which was my other grandfather's brother (father's side). Also my favorite animators are Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones so that works with it as well.

Before I show my revisions to old pieces check out the banner I did for my website!!!


It is a version of me in Crockett Johnson's, "Harold's Purple Crayon, " style. Eventually, I am going to experiment with multiple style of cartoon versions of myself and have it scroll in the front of my website like a slide show! So keep your eyes open for that.

Here are some revisions on old pieces check em' out


The original Walter piece is in the link below



Original Abelina Piece is on the link below...



Original Wren Piece is in the link below...

This is a caricature of the show, "Pawn Stars," they are also pigs in this.  This was a fun assignment to transform a celebrity into an animal. Kept that Danny Dent's Morrison painting that is always on the show.


This was a character variation exercise that I did in two styles.  One the "Mighty B!" and the other is "Uncle Grandpa" two shows that are very cartoony and fun!




Here are some updated caricatures I revised from waaaay back when.. 

There is more here....


Also here is the old ones...













I am now officially done with Stephen Silver's Character Design Course I and II! The class was a great experience and I feel that I am getting closer at understanding character design.  Now to start animating in 3D for my class in Animation Mentor! 

That's it for now, Take care!!!
