Hey what goes around comes around, right? Some birds make it through, while others crumbled to the ground...
The first official trailer of "Legend of The Guardians" is finally out there!
"Legend of The Guardians" is an upcoming CG feature based on the series of children's fantasy books Guardians of Ga'Hoole by Kathryn Lasky(These books are pretty amazing, BTW).
Production is taking place in Australia at Animal Logic("Happy Feet"), and the film is directed by Zack Snyder("300", "Watchmen"), scheduled to be released on September 24, 2010.

Gatchamural
This poster graphic titled "Gatchamural" was created for marketing and promotional purposes back in Spring of 2009, used at a several occasions including Comi-con last year(you can check my older post here). Despite of the rush delivery it turned out to be one of a few images which seemed to made most of crew happy enough so I was relieved.

Goodbye, Gatchaman
Imagi, HK based animation studio brought "TMNT(2007)" and "Astro Boy(2009)", has closed down their LA studio on Jan 23rd, as well as pretty much entire HK production on the last week to let over 300 employees go("Hollywood Reporter").
I was on a development for their 3rd film "Gatchaman"(known as "G-Force"(Battle of the Planets) in the States) from November 2008 through out pretty much the whole year of 2009 in their preproduction team in LA, but now it is all over...
I feel sad since I know a lot of people put their serious effort and contributions in it, but a part of me is also a bit relieved that there is finally some conclusion to the epic struggle behind the movie. I really, really liked the original Japanese 70's TV show(I grew up with it, it's in my blood) and wanted to make something uniquely challenging to this tough genre, but on the other hand this project had been unreasonably difficult and consuming in many ways. I guess it was one of these great properties never meant to be made...
The top image is my "fan art"(yes, I can do fan art now!), Joe in the classic "bird suit" as G2.
(This personal art does NOT represent any of the production art from the project, BTW)

Sunset above Chiba
15mins(because I could not stand there any longer, it was so cold), postcard size sketch from a hill near by my parents house in Chiba.
There used to be more greens/hills and farms in my childhood, now it is pretty much flatten down to be a suburban housing site.
(4"x6" Watercolor)
