1.5 seconds of fame
I guess these days you know you've made it when you get mentioned on a DVD commentary. Here's a short clip where Genndy (along with Bryan Andrews) gives a little shout-out to yours truly in the commentary track for the "Jack & the Spartans" episode from the SAMURAI JACK Season 2 set:

My idea was to have the robo-beast's facial graphics resemble
a Greek vase, with orange graphics on black.
Of course, red and black are always seen as symbolically
representing evil, so they went with that.

Very cool man...love that episode.
ReplyDeleteSo...I'm curious, you doing anything BAD-ASS for Comic-Con?
Sketch book?
Prints?
Commissions?
Drinking yourself to death and falling into the harbor??

I remember that from the commentary! And I study that episode all the time...... cause I'm a nerd....
ReplyDeleteSo are Erik and Bryan going to give more legendary status on the Mighty B! dvd (there better be one damn it! - tell Erik that insist on that - cause you know how former interns have vast influence).
Still can't believe you can keep your work so neat. Nice clean design - I get way too sketchy.....
I agree! Great concept on this one.
