Such Color.

While Playing around on the ol' Net I was introduced to Matte Stephens. His style and work is amazing. I love his choice of color. Color is not one of my strong points but something I hope to work on developing. I am really drawn to muddy earthy tones and hues. I think that is why I like Margaret so much as well.

If you are interested there is a podcast with him on Creative Thursday.
Also if you want to own some of Mattes work you can get it here.

Sneek a Peek.

Starting to throw down some paint on a few canvases that we have had unfinished since 2005.
Soon Niro and Sami will be on the wall.

Also plan to tweak the Bedtime Monsters plush pattern having been away from it for... wow almost a year!... Anyway I feel that they can be better, we shall see.

Must See

This film looks so good I can not wait to see it!



I also plan to get the Manga maybe for the ol B-Day coming up?
All this is done by Taiyo Matsumoto.

Also a little of this if you want to check it.

In The Works.

Since TraMma Built LLC. is my little playground of ideas and productions I thought I would share an idea that I just started to play with. No names or title yet. It has to do with my new sporting love of table tennis in a round about kind of way. Think battling and sword fights but with table tennis. Think anime action and story line.....ok bye.

Bizar Moving Picture.

Been searching around while up in Washington for ideas for sum stuff I got brewing in the old noggin and came accross this Anime that is both amazing and disturbing, also very well made.
Please enjoy this from Koji Yamamura. He got an Oscar nomination for this short. It is all in Japanese so if you do not know japanese well just enjoy the images and sound, particularly the images....


Here is another short for your viewing plesure by Koji Yamamura


And now something that just looks good and action packed, Sword of the Stranger...

A Sketch.

It has been a long time since I have drawn Niro, Hana, and Sami. It feels kind of weired coming back to them after haveing not played around with them and even drawn them for ages.

But like riding a bike a little rusty at first but still got it. Now to make something of it.

So Long Away.

Well a lot has been going on since my last post. A lot but nothing to do with the BedTime Monsters. I have a little boy now and another on it's way in a few short months.

BTM is still on the back burner but will soon move up to the front in the next while as I begin to work with my brother in building it and the brand. So keep watching for future updates.

Tys.
