Journeymen

Hey everybody,

For those familiar with Insomniac Games, you may of heard of the new North Carolina sister studio on the way in January ’09. Well, I’m pleased to announce Greg and I will be part of the initial crew for the new team. This is an exciting opportunity for the both of us and we couldn’t be happier to be back East all while staying part of the amazing Insomniac family.

As a result, my wife and our two manic cats will be traveling across county next week. Our pilgrimage has been in the planning for quite some time and we’re looking forward to the journey. (I don’t know if I can say the same for our feline counterparts.) Greg will be on his way in the coming months once he wraps up a few odds and ends. As far as the website, we still plan to be very active with imagery and chatter so please be sure to stop by and visit. In regards to the store, effective immediately North Carolina residents will have sales tax applied to their order. All the California kids are now off the hook!

As always, Greg and I really appreciate the support from you all…we look forward to seeing you on the other side of the country as we polish our southern drawl.

Until next time,
dave

King Skullie!

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of working on a fun project with the great students of “Ralphadelphia!” in Florida. They wrote and designed King Skullie – a true defender of evil. For my contribution I promised a video drawing which has now slithered its way onto CreatureBox!

Greg and I are still working on our Comic-Con plans. More on that soon along with the announcement of our Birthday contest winner!

Cragmites

I’ve realized a good 85% of my designs are dudes screaming at other dudes. I guess I have some strange attraction to teeth…and bulging eyeballs…

MEDIC!

Hi, my name is Dave, and I’m a Team Fortress 2 addict. For those not interested in games, TF is a fantastic team based FPS created by Valve Software. The character design is some of the best I’ve seen in years – sometimes I play just to watch the teams move around the levels. It’s just one of those games that’s a joy to look at and it’s great to see stylization brought to the genre. Give it a try, you just might like it!

Dirty Rats

I know this is more of a mouse, but Rat sounds so much cooler. My wife came across one decomposing in our planter wall. Apparently he had been there for quite some time. I like to think he went out with honor. Now if I can just figure out how to keep them from having bachelor parties in my grill out back…

The Sound of Music

Every year the birds around our house go nuts at the start of Spring. The loudmouths crack us up — it’s always a great season.
