Animated Ads

I've recently created three "comic book" animations for an online ad campaign. I thought they'd be fun to share. Below is a smaller version of each. You can see the full-size animations at http://www.bankziety.com

These makes me want to do single panel, animated, gag cartoons. Hmmmm...

Super Antics #6

 On this page, I tried to up the ante a bit in creating an old comic look. Not only did I misregister the color, but I also added a faint image of a reverse comic page, which would show through the newsprint. Yep. This is how I amuse myself.

Animated Comic Cover: Valentine's Day Edition!

When I have time, I enjoy creating animated covers. I like to bring attention to classic or interesting artwork. I think 1951's Amazing Adventures #4 qualifies...

(And yes, the alien drool is on the original cover.)

On a totally different note, the frequency of my blog posts have slowed down the last few months. I've been drawing on a 160 page comic, which I hope to launch on the web later this year. The below page doesn't give much away. It may look like a cliche zombie situation, but I guarantee you have no idea where the story is headed...

This Little Piggy Ran!

I graduated from the University of Arkansas. I got a great education there. (Some of it was even in the classroom, wink wink.) Threadless is currently having a "College Challenge" and I submitted the above Arkansas Razorbacks design. I wanted to illustrate "Go Hogs" and make it somewhat traditional, just to give it a longer shelf-life. I'm pretty happy with it. If you're Threadless member (or are willing to do the free sign-up), please vote.

EDIT: The voting is over. It's a no go for me. In hindsight, this design is probably too traditional for Threadless. As a Razorback alumni however, I still dig it. :)

A Chicken + A Hare = Fun!

A friend of mine has a fun graphic novel coming from Scholastic in February. I've seen an advanced copy. It's fantastic! Check out this informative video...

Super Antics #5

I know Batman has some crazy "official" reason for having a robot dinosaur in his Batcave, but I think the following is much more likely...

Super Antics #4

 I had some free time over Thanksgiving and realized I hadn't drawn a comic page in a while. So I did!

The girlfriend before Lois...
