3 Cartoon Back Burners

I am on a mission to create 3 separate cartoons for the next 2 to 3 years. To tease them a bit, here are animatic previews for each film. The first, and shortest, "Mulberry Blues"!

Second, "Bully In The Brambles" starring fraternal twins, James And Lauren Sagoo!

And last "Hex For Hire" starring Bluehilda, the wild blue witch!

Keep your eyes peeled for updates, but then again, other things might come up so expect these MUCH later than sooner. But they will get done!! Characters and ideas © James Sugrue 2010

Fishy Sketches

Warm up sketches before my freelance project

Days Of The Week

I wanted to do something about my facebook profile, so I made these.

Mondays suck, you know that.

Tuesdays are Monday, but in disguise.

Wednesdays are your midway point to the weekend. Hang in there!

Thursdays aren't so bad because they are the day before Friday, and The Office is on.

Fridays are great because it's your last day of school/work for the week so you can goof off.

Another day of goofing off, but without going to work/school in the morning.

The Lord's day. Yeah, I believe in God, Jesus and all that jazz, but I am not one of the crazy fanatics that adheres to every detail in the bible. If you are reading this and you are of a different gender, race, or sexual orientation, I do not care what you do as long as you are a decent human being. That's all that counts.

Parallels Elastic IT

My lastest animation gig for Lilipip. It was alot of fun to work on! Animation by yours truly and story boarded by the great Andrew Imamura

Creature Design Woes

Hey folks, long time no see! Between freelancing, babysitting, and earning a few extra bucks on the side, I barely have any time to post. I even had to put this idea on the back burner! http://jimgrue.blogspot.com/2010/01/it-begins.html But during what little free time I have, I've been sketching ideas for two other ambitious shorts. One of them is about two kids and their run in with a rather odd looking creature. Here are some lunch sketches I have been coming up with.

I thumbnailed the boards, but I do not want to do the full boards till I get this weirdo's design right! ARRRGH! I love a good challenge =) Sketches are © of James Sugrue.

Leftovers Sketches and Girly Figure Drawings

PHEW! Been busy over here with other things, but I'm still alive and kicking!

Life drawing has become an ABSOLUTE necessity to me. I refuse to get rusty!

ADVENTURE TIME!!!!

I am super excited about Adventure Time coming to cartoon Network this spring. Plus there has been a number of REALLY talented artists submitting their take of Pendelton Ward's wild and wonderful characters, so I wanted to be part of the fun!

Here are some extra goodies.

It's gonna be ALGEBRAIC!

Happy Valentoons Day!

Here's a little something animated I made up in 8 days for you lonely hearts out there.

And because you people are beautiful, here are some favorite roughs

Birthday Wishes

WOW! I haven't posted anything in over a month! My deepest apologizes, but I have been busy with both freelance and working part time again at Wegmans. Yeah, I know last year I said I quit, but with this economic turmoil, I need a consistent weekly paycheck. I'm not giving up on my animation ambitions, but I am very grateful they took me back. That's why you should always leave on a high note. My frame of mind right now is to save, save, save. Any who, today is my birthday. I got some REALLY cool things (ie Curb Your Enthusiasm, Super Mario Bros Wii) but these are my birthday wishes.

1. My family's safety, health, and happiness

2. To work in a animation studio, East or West Coast

3. To make another independent short

4. To get one of my ideas out there in a big way

Happy Birthday to me!!

A New Addition To The Family Plus People Drawings

I would like to introduce my first niece and God Daughter, Zoe! She was born July 29th at 3:26am. We love her and can't wait to see what she'll do next!

And Now onto the drawings. Some were the Hospital and others on the Subway.
This guy was from the gas station. REALLY CREEPY.

I saw this guy at the library at Grand Army Plaza. Neat Hat.
