Here’s Google’s tribute to John Lennon for his 70th birthday on Saturday. (We’re celebrating a day early). I use “amazing honor” quite a bit, but this tops them all. It was truly a life highlight to be able to work on this doodle and create an animated sequence to celebrate one of my musical heroes (animators… please be gentle). Thanks Lennon for everything.

Also, check out Google’s official blog where I have a few more things to say.

This is a music video my brother created for an Italian band called, The Disappearing One. The video features three different worlds, each one rendered by an artist. Those artists include myself, Sumbody, and President Wishnack.  Apparently, I need a better artist’s moniker. At any rate, my brother has outdone himself once again.  The song and images complement each other perfectly, like pairing the right cheese with the right wine without one overpowering the other. I hope you watch and enjoy!

In other news, Alex and I will be taking off on a short trip to Korea tomorrow. I’m excited to see my parents after nearly two years of being apart, as well as seeing Korea again for the first time in over twenty years. I wonder if the Soju is better there, the way a Guinness is in Ireland. Apparently, I’ve got libations on my mind today. It must be this deadline I’m working on! See you guys soon.

Hope you guys will enjoy my brother Dave’s latest video on the making of a Swoop comic. Once again, he makes me look like a natural… although he did insist on showing me white something out. When you guys are done here, be sure to check out his website. www.Duttonfilms.com Thanks, and enjoy!

You’ve probably seen these posted on my webcomic, but just in case you haven’t, my brother Dave shot and edited a couple videos featuring my stuff.

This first one is me working on a page of the comic, throughout the various stages - roughs, pencils, inking, and some digital coloring. It is beautifully filmed, and as I’ve quipped before, uncannily makes me look like I know what I’m doing.

The second one is an animation made up entirely of stuff from my sketchbooks over the past four years. Very fun to watch. It also features the music of my other brother, Henry.  I believe this is the first time all three of us have worked on a creative project together… at least since our childhood days, doing activity books and parody-style magazines (that were actually pretty funny, even now).
