I'm almost done with work on Season 3 of TTG, and while I've already posted so much of these (and more) on my <a href="http://chrisbattleart.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chrisbattleart/">Instagram</a>, I figure (just for old time's sake) I gotta post 'em here on my first online portal for my artwork....</div>

Absolutely shameful. Yes, these days my <a href="http://chrisbattleart.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> & <a href="http://instagram.com/chrisbattleart?ref=badge">Instagram</a> are getting more of my attention, but might as well add some content here at least for sentimental reasons, right? ;)<br />
<br />
I was recently profiled on a segment of <a href="http://dcallaccess.com/">DC ALL ACCESS</a>, where they talked to me about doing character design for my current gig at Warner Bros. Animation: Cartoon Network's hit series <a href="http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/video/teen-titans-go/index.html?atclk_vn=nav_Teen-Titans-Go">TEEN TITANS GO!</a><br />

Here's a bonus clip about designing TTG versions of DC legacy characters:</div>

Sooner or later, I'm going to have to do a <i>massive</i> TTG mega-post to showcase the 3 seasons' worth of designs I've been working on these last few years in order to give this blog a proper send-off as it approaches it's <i><a href="http://chrisbattleillustration.blogspot.com/2005/11/its-about-damn-time.html">10th anniversary.</a> </i> Stay tuned.</div>

It wouldn't be my blog without an <i><b>insanely</b></i> long wait between posts, would it? Things were so crazy, we were finishing up season 2 of <b>DAN VS. </b>while at the same time starting designs on season 3! Now things are even crazier since I started work on a <i>sooooper-secret mystery project </i>in my evening hours that I can't share with you just yet, but hopefully this post full of art from our film noir episode will tide you over...</div>

Speaking of DAN VS., earlier this month I was nominated for an <a href="http://annieawards.org/">Annie Award</a> for <i><b>"Best Character Design in a Television Production"</b></i> for my work on the show. What's an Annie Award? It's the animation industry's own award, kinda like a Emmy or Grammy. But for cartoon folk. I didn't win, but like the old cliché goes, it was an honor to be nominated, especially by my own people! ...plus there were free drinks.

Come down to Q-Pop for a fundraiser/art sale and hang out with friends, enjoy some music and art, and most importantly, help some people in need. <a href="http://www.tuneintokyoclub.com/">Tune in Tokyo</a> will be spinning some great tunes!!

They're for 2 additional Tron Quorra prints like the ones sold at <a href="http://qpopshop.com/main/">Q-Pop's</a> <a href="http://chrisbattleillustration.blogspot.com/2011/03/q-pop-help-japan-art-fundraiser.html">"Help Japan"</a> show out here in L.A. last month. <br /><br />Since the quickly organized Q-Pop show was unable to offer international sales thru their online store, I decided to offer these extra prints on eBay to allow some of my overseas fans (Some of whom contacted me about their inability to buy the Q-Pop pieces) to get in on the action. The auctions just went live last night, and will end <b>May 1st @ 9:00 PM</b>. <br /><br /><center>You can bid on the original <a href="http://bit.ly/eCwgPH">Blue Faction</a> vers., or the<a href="http://bitly.com/dRmKin"> Red Faction variant</a>.</center><br /><center>Show your love of TRON & Japan and <a href="http://shop.ebay.com/cbattle/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686">make a bid!</a></center><br /><center><i><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">BTW- Actual prints don't have those logos on 'em; That's just a mock-up.</span></i></center>Chris Battlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01315912681205822163noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841423.post-87557141329769387372011-03-20T21:40:00.000-07:002011-04-08T23:40:11.469-07:00"DAN VS."
