A few years back I animated on The Simpsons and in this particular episode I drew myself into a few scenes when I had longer hair, even took the liberty of making myself taller. I vividly remember the episode number BABF09, later released as season 11 episode 13 “Saddlesore Galactica.” I also animated on the first season of Futurama. I didn’t make any appearances on that show but had fun doing a silly pop-n-lock scene with Fry pretending to be a robot.

2nd clip: I’m a father a bit left of center of the screen

Last clip: Freeze frame of the credits with my name on the right side under “Character Layout Artists”

I’m not sure if posting clips of a show is legal. I have no problems removing this from my site if anyone at Fox wants me to take this down. I had nothing but a great time working with those guys so I’m not trying to get on anyone’s bad side.

This Memorial weekend I had the pleasure of meeting with Lisa to do a spur-of-the-moment-ish shoot. We were doing some site scouting this week and found an area behind the velodrome near Morely Field. It was our first session and I felt like we riffed off each other’s thoughts and ideas well. I’m looking forward to our upcoming photo projects.

If winning a chili cook off at work wasn’t enough last Friday, I went down to Hooley’s with Sherry and Joel to meet & greet my local comedy heroes. Since I missed The Mikey Show’s first event, I had to catch this one.

About a month ago the show did a random Your-Mama joke off and “Hoyle” said, “Your mama’s so fat she eats Wheat…Thicks.” That had to be the best one I’ve heard my whole life. I couldn’t help myself, so I made a logo, ironed it on to a shirt and wore it to the event. I thought I’d get a few chuckles but got a bigger reaction that I thought.

After asking Mikey to sign the shirt, he read it and freaked. He pulled Woods over and asked to get a picture immediately; the next thing I knew it felt like the whole bar was looking my way. It had to be the best, and most embarrassing, way for me to introduce myself. Every cast member is just as nice and funny as they are on air. If you’re from San Diego and haven’t heard them give a listen one morning at FM 94.9 (East Coast friends and family: stream it through their site). You’ll be happy you did.

I recently decided to block all entries about Nicolas, for two reasons. I was thinking about how odd it would be that anyone could look up my son’s whole upbringing and I’m not sure if he’d appreciate that much information about himself publicized when he gets older. The other reason is pretty self-explanatory. It’s sad we live in a time we have to consider these things but I have to. That all said, these posts are easily accessible for all friends and family, just contact me through all the ways you normally would and I’ll give you the passwords. Thank you all for your patience and understanding with this.
