Clayman is Coming Soon

OK, so it's been far too long since my last post. I spent much of the summer in west Texas, working on mural projects. I have been busy since I came back, mostly working on a series of small projects, ranging from antique wood effects to tinted plaster for stair wells. Despite the poor economy, the jobs continue to appear, which is good.

I need to get the Clayman series started. I have begun work on the stage, and I think I have found the best internal structure for Clayman's body. Clayman will be an animated clay man. He is to be a painter/artist, a guitar player, a romantic gentlemen, and an avid Dallas Cowboys fan.

I did my first, preliminary work on animating a clay head for him months ago. But, I have needed to design and build the set, figure out a moving, adjustable skeleton for him and write the first episode, before I could get this series started. I am finally ready to build the set. I have the first episode figured out, and I am pretty sure the skeletal structure I have figured out will work.
