more JT...

There isn't much more to say about this image except that I enjoyed doing my first Johnny Test painting so much that I felt like doing another.

old title

Seeing as I'm currently sitting around waiting for my supervisor to return. I decided it was time to change out the ol' title image here. Although I've grown tired of it, I certainly don't want to forget it so I decided to make a post dedicated to it.

Johnny Test

Once upon a time, I had the best summer and I was working on a wicked awesome WB show called "johnny test"! I spent four months from april to september living and working in Halifax NS, where I met and worked with some of the best people I've ever met, it was incredible. My job was working in the design dept. at Collideascope Digital Productions doing clean up and colour styling for props, characters and location. So, in memory of the good times in 'hali', I feel it's time that I pay some sort of tribute to the cool stuff that was being done for the show. I did this painting from one of the many location designs that I cleaned at the studio. Enjoy!

wizard of oz

Well as my current contract is coming to an end, it's time to start refreshing the old portfolio. I decided it was time to get back into doing some stuff that's layout/ painting related and less character driven as this is where my animation job interests lie. What better inspiration for a new painting is there than one of my most favourite films...The wizard of Oz? Love that movie! Hope you like my take on the subject matter. Laters!

Happy Halloween 2008

In the spirit of Halloween here are a few images inspired by the holiday. Happy Halloween to all you goblins and ghoulies.

more bots...

Okay, so I'm typically not into drawing things which are so mechanical but last night I started drawing and this is what I drew...hope you like it.

Birds

Lately I've had somewhat of an obsession with birds. I can't really explain why, I think it might be because of the different shapes and sizes and colours they come in. They're all different, this one isn't based on anything I just wanted to do a bird in fall colours. Hope you enjoy it.

Self Portrait

Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about things, especially things involving me. Who is Rob Krete? What things in life motivate him? What sorts of things does he need? So I decided to do a portrait of my most current self... Is this me?

Emo

Lately, I've been feeling a little bit lonely and have been a bit emo because of it. So, I decided to revisit my version of a robot character from a friends (Trisha) third year film idea. For whatever reason, he always seemed a little emo to me, letting everyone see his heart. Hope you like him, if I remember correctly his official name is "Bolton"?

Grammar

So apparently, I'm not perfect (duh...). For whatever reason, I can't seem to type using proper grammar. A couple of people have managed to point out this fact and they will be happy to know that I have fixed the errors of my ways. Thanks mom...

inspirations

These two pieces are from about a year ago. As far as artists go one of my biggest inspirations is Mary Blair of Disney fame. I love her work and have tried most of my life to emulate her style. The way she used shape and colour has always amazed me, hopefully these images somewhat pay homage to her stuff.

First Post; Portfolio

Okay, so seeing as I'm about to graduate from Sheridan on thursday, I figured it was about time that I start up a blog. What better first post is there than my portfolio? This is where it stands currently, there will be more to come in upcoming days. Hope you like what you see.
