Web comic #0 Sam vs. the Spot

Hey gang, here it the first web comic for Sam Saturn. This was originally done for the Heroes Convention 2008. The mini comic included this story plus a few pieces of art by yours truly. If you are interested in a copy send me a note and we will work things out. The comic is going for a buck. I hope you will enjoy this first of many comics to come. :)

Hey all, things have been busy with the kid and school, the kid. I thought today I would post a piece of art I did a while back. I had been an part time supervisor for about 2 or 3 years and I was starting to hate it. I drew this during work and a while later painted it in Photoshop. It shows the drone-like purpose of a supervisor. There were constantly new supervisors taking others places. We had a saying "Part time supervisors change like you change your underwear." That was of course assuming that you changed your underwear on a regular basis.

This animation was done about a month back. It is the lastest on to date and one of the best ones. It's about 40 seconds long and completely silent, but entertaining. I hope you like it and please leave comments and feedback.

Okay, so I thought it would be interesting to see if my blog or myspace account would show in a google search. And apparently there is another Blue Monkey Studios out there. From the UK of all places and they are an animation studio. So just to point out that we are not the same thing, they are obviously more professional and have been around longer. Man, and I thought I had an original name for a studio...oh well at least we both have go taste. But I've noticed that they have screenshots of a barbie video game...ummm, yeah. But anyway if you want to take a look here is the link: http://www.bluemonkeystudios.com/bms-home.htm

Cheerio,
Josh

Hello everyone,

My name is Josh, I am a 3rd year animation student on the Art Institute Online through the University of Pittsburgh. Like many artists I am looking for work and I hope that this blog will get my name out there. I will be posting various pieces of artwork, animations, and web comics. I hope you enjoy these things and if you are looking for an illustrator or animator please drop me a line.

I came up with the name Blue Monkey Studios as a publishing company for my comic, Sam Saturn. Since then I have decided to encompass all that I do as an artist under this label. Hopefully one day this will grow into a larger endeavor than it is now. But for now I am content.
