GREET

Merry Christmas!

I was planning on drawing a Christmas card this year. Specially since I’m broke and couldn’t buy anyone anything for  Christmas. Then my friend Andy commissioned me to draw him one of a gag he came up with.  Since it was going to take me a long time to do, which meant I couldn’t do what I was planning, I asked if I could use his.  He gave me permission.  So I signed some prints as Christmas cards and gave them out.

If you want some unsigned cards, Andy will be putting up the “official” card up at Cafe Press soon.  I’ll let you know. Hopefully they’ll be up just in time for Three Kings Day (a.k.a Feast of The Epiphany).

THE SIMPSONS NEWS

Why did I think that I’d have a relaxing Holiday?  I should have known something would come up. Our bosses at Fox wanted to redo the opening of the show now that the show is going to be shown in HD widescreen.  Problem is that they procrastinated for so long that it now has to be done in four weeks.  Four weeks beginning THIS week. Guess who got put on the project.  Yup, us.  All of Lance’s crew.

On the one hand, it’s exciting because  it’s the opening of the show. On the other hand, we need to keep it looking like the original opening so we can’t mess with it too much.  At the same time, we are putting in new little “Easter eggs” for the fans.  It’s going to be, pretty much the same opening though.  It will just look prettier.  Problem is, we’ve got no time to do it.  Looks like I’m going to be coming into work during the Holidays.  At least we’re getting paid double time which will come in handy.  The one bright side.

I just finished the first rough pass of the revised “Bart chalkboard” scene.  How cool is that?  That’s a pretty iconic opening thing.  On the other hand, if I screw it up…
