So I haven’t been working in animation for about 5 months now, but I have been able to draw. I started doodling and then started taking requests. Now I’ve got quite an undertaking ahead of me. Here are a few that I’ve done so far. Everyone has taken to hanging them on their monitors. It’s been fun drawing so much. I think I’ve drawn more outside of the animation industry than in it. Hope you enjoy.
AM starts up again next week. I’m stoked!
DeMercer out.
I just wanted to write something that said how much I’m going to miss Carlos Meglia and his artwork. He’s honestly one of the earliest influences on me as far as actually drawing. I was obviously inspired by art before I was introduced to Meglia’s work, but it wasn’t until I picked up a 5 issue mini-series he did in 2001 called Star Wars: Underworld that I actually took out my pencil and paper and drew with any real seriousness. To this day he’s the one artist I go back to and look at when I’m feeling out of touch with not just my ability to draw, but creativity in General.
The last thing I read of his was Superman: Infinite City and I really felt like he was on to something. I’d loved Superman/Tarzan, but his work in Infinite City was just so beautiful and not seeing anymore of that, not seeing what he might have done years down the road is honestly really hard for me to swallow. I don’t have a ton of his stuff, but what I do have is dog-eared and well loved. I’m really going to miss seeing his art; Being surprised when I see another book that he’d done. That was the funny thing. I never knew what the hell he was working on until I accidentally stumbled upon it a while after it had been out.
Anyways, if you’re a fan of Carlos Meglia it’s a sad time and if you’ve never heard of him run, don’t walk, to your local book/comicbook shop and ask for some of his stuff. You won’t be sorry. If you actually knew him or were family of his, my heart goes out to you. I’m sure we’ll miss him for different reasons, but we’ll miss him none the less.
Rest in peace Carlos.
Not much to report.
