Barfy Travel Chronicles: India Pt. 1

Barfy & Joel at the Kailash Temple, Ellora, Maharashtra, India

Excerpt from Joel's Travel Log:
 "Tuesday night I valiantly conquered the washing machine and forced it to do my bidding as I was running dangerously low levels of underpants.  Wednesday morning it had it's revenge.  There's only one plug between the washer and dryer, so you have to choose your priorities wisely.  When I was pulling the plug out, Bam!  or 'zap' or 'fop' or whatever noise a body makes as it slams into a wall.  I was up, karate position, ready for the day.  240 volts to the brain are better than morning coffee, though both make me shake pretty badly.  On the plus side, I didn't have to put gel in my hair because it was going in every direction but natural. " 

Returning to The Cabin!

After an absence of three long years, Funkadillo is finally returning to the Foster family cabin in Oregon for a long awaited vacation/adventure.  Barfy will be joining us this time (in color!).  Here are some collages of the previous years:

'The Unfortunates'

Meet the Unfortunates.  You probably won't be seeing more of them anytime soon, but here's a character mockup I did for a secret Funkadillo development project.  They give me nightmares still.

 

Why yes, this is for a kid's show.  How did you guess?

Original Date:  Winter 2010 (while in the depths of the Oregon wilderness)
 Medium:  Oof... Ink, lots of splatter paint that got in my hair, & science

 

Barfy Travel Chronicles: Greece

 

For those of you who don't know, Barfy travels with us on our adventures around the globe.  This is the first of many journeys he's been on.  We'll start with Greece.  

Ryan's Interview on G4 TV!

Management congratulates you and reminds you to get back to work.

Doodles While Playblasting...

Joel here.  I draw a lot while I should be working.  I'll be posting more of those doodles here.  It'll take awhile to catch up with them all but I'll start with the sketches from my time on 'Alice in Wonderland.'

White Rabbit Caricature

"Oraculum says you're gonna miss your quota..."

I made this one for our coordinator, Jules, and her constant battle to keep us on track to meet our animation quota.

Original Date:  I dunno, some time in the fall of 2009?

Medium:  Blue Pencil (my favorite), Rapidograph, not-quality paper, and boredom 

Interview (and Time Travel)

Here's an old interview we did for Channel Frederator.  It still contains traces of awesome.

Franky the Motion Cat

   

The preferred method of motion capture for Funkadillo.  

Yes, that is Ryan's arm holding her down.  It's the only way to contain all of her excitement for animation.

 

The Funkadillo Blog is open for business!

Hey kids.  Tired of all these blogs with words and stuff?  We'll try to keep those at a minimum.  And when we do use them, we'll make sure they're short.  

 Until then, welcome to the official blog of 'Barfy & Friends!'  We'll try to keep you up to date on Funkadillo developments (no promises), new art, and a smattering of anything else we spew out of our heads.

 

Barfy congratulates you on your choice of reading materials.
