#65: Draw Something 4ever.

Diane has been out of town this weekend, visiting her brother in Colorado. As a result, I took advantage of the alone time and had a "Guys' Nintendo Night" on Friday with some of my favorite people (congratulations on your victory, Jeff).  Among them, was my good friend/favorite animator Aaron "The Rabid Milkman" Ludwig. Hanging out with Aaron always gives me the itch to do some drawing. Thus, here are some more of my recent "Draw Something" drawings. Have a great Sunday!

I think "Up" is my favorite computer animated film .

I bet the life of a Bullet Bill is anti-climatic.
Once Mario passes by, there isn't much else to live for.

Good thing it isn't "Fast Sunday". 

Even though I'm a dog lover, I still like Garfield. Fat cats are funny.

Logo modern art.

I won an Oscar for this one.

"Jaws" is one of the only songs I can play on the piano.
It only requires two keys.

Space Jam!

I "kneed" you.

I'm looking forward to an exciting NBA finals. Go Thunder!!!

I made myself chuckle while drawing the minotaur.

Good memories of Disneyland.

Greatest fictional story of redemption. Ever.

#49: DreamGiver and the Rabid Milkman.

I would like to introduce you to my best friend since 4th grade, Aaron Roy Ludwig. Aaron is one of the funniest people I know (right up there with my dad and Bill Cosby...okay, I don't really know Bill Cosby). Aaron designed the logo for Mormon Wookiee, and he is actually the reason I started to like Star Wars back in 5th Grade. If it weren't for Aaron, my blog might have been called "Mormon CPA" instead (booooooooring!!!)

A picture of Aaron and I when we competed in the Mr. Universe competition.

In elementary school, Aaron and I used to draw our own made-up comic books together, such as "The Incredible Hairballs", "The Super Seven" (with awesome characters like Gyro Josh, Lightning Layne, Electro Brandon, and Vinnie), and "The Neighbors From Across the Street". Whereas I became an accountant, Aaron continued to improve his drawing talents, and he is currently in his last semester as an animation major at BYU. You can see some of his work at his blog The Rabid Milkman. Last year, Aaron was a key part of the animation team that won two "Student Emmys" for the animated short film "DreamGiver", directed by Tyler Carter. Since its debut, DreamGiver has won a number of additional awards and has been featured at the Cannes Film Festival, Comic Con (a.k.a. Nerd Paradise), and the Adobe Design Competition. I am extremely proud of Aaron and his work on the film.

The DreamGiver Team. Aaron is second to the left (with a little less hair than the picture above, but with even more manly muscles).

Mixing both 3D and 2D animation, DreamGiver tells the story of a winged, bald fairy who gives dreams to sleeping children. When he accidentally turns one dream into a nightmare, the story follows his efforts to fix his mistakes.

Oh, and as Aaron likes to say, "Yes, the DreamGiver looks like me. And no, that wasn't intentional". Enjoy!
