Hubba Bubba

I think it was Leo Burnett Canada that brought these guys back. I directed the first couple of  commercials at Chucks where I developed the art direction. The Later commercials  I had less involvement except design, layout and animating a couple of scenes here and there. The Movie Theatre spot I placed co-workers, and other odd characters in the audience strictly for my own entertainment.

Hubba and Bubba go to the zoo.  I was told the red back sides of male Mandrills are funny. I just follow the agency briefings.

Hubba Bubba Splash.  The agency decided to change the style because one of those individual's got on a 'Ren and Stimpy' kick. This was my life guard suggestion before the change.

Hubba and Bubba go to a Museum. This was the opening Background I layed out and coloured for the spot. 

LVBeethoven

Of all the great composers LVBeethoven's music I like the best. I've been listening to it since I was a kid, and it has always been inspirational. This was drawn years ago. Someday I would like to do something proper with it.

Semper Fi Security

I was asked to design this logo for the Semper Fi Security service.  For payment I wanted to be taught self defence techniques against incompetent producerlings, art directors and ad agency people.

 

AK

This is quite an old drawing of a person I knew years ago.

Chameleon

I drew this while on an outing to the Toronto Zoo back in college.

Donkey

I have no recollection what agency or advertising pitch idea this was for. (one too many hits to the head while farming) I know I did it while at Passion-Pictures years ago, and it possibly had something to do with banks. I think the idea was kyboshed because of the possible infringement on the donkey from the "Shrek" franchise.

Sugar Crisp Bear vs Ninja

Some drawings from another agency pitch I did years ago while at Chucks.

Kids

These designs I did for some commercial pitch done at Gammage Animation yrs ago.
