For all you aspiring board artists out there, don't wait around for permission to start boarding. Like getting into school or getting a job. Just dive in and do it. Do a lot of it. Be sloppy and messy and get your hands dirty. Don't worry about clean drawings. Just draw a story.

It’s been a quiet couple of days at the office. It has been great to see so much love online for Steve, and see everyone’s take on spongebob. Also neat to hear everyone’s stories about making friends through the show or developing their sense of humor because of SB.

So I'm just gonna make this tweet to inform others about the existence of what is now the closest thing we have to a "banned episode" of SpongeBob. Not only will this *completed* episode probably never air on TV (at least for a long while), it's also not going to be on the...

I boarded this episode and drawing the realistic versions of the characters was a challenge. Especially to make entertaining with no expressive features or acting. Stephen Hillenberg gave me very detailed drawings of each sea creature. Calling back to his marine biologist days.

Some people are taking this as a dig at the CG. Quite the contrary! The cg team and the animation studio did an amazing job. The fact they can break the model (multiple times in an EP) and get anywhere near these poses is a huge feat that is unheard of in tv animation.

I have to say his show is going to look great and have the same absurd wacky humor as the original. Made by the same people making the 2d show. cg people had to work super hard to make this nonsense work in a reality based in logic and math without losing what makes it sb.

Steve was around for the start of development of this and involved in the last movie where this spun off from. You still don't have to be excited for this show, but it was made by all the people Steve worked along side of to make regular SB the last few years.

Following up on my previous post about the origins of Zokie of Planet Ruby, here are some sketches when trying to find the character designs. Originally I wanted a care bear type sandwich symbol on Zokie's belly.
This is the first thing I drew that would eventually become 'Zokie of Planet Ruby' 2017(?). Just drew one panel after the other without knowing where it was going. The story is different but the personalities are there. I'll be posting tons more art work soon.
