This is a storyboard for one of my upcoming animations.

Here's a drawing that I did of me and my big brother, Jeff, a few years ago when we were in a band together. I'm probably trying to convince him that we do not suck out the ass.

He does the sound and music on them back in our home town of Philadelphia, big fat Brian Wilson genius that he is, while I run around the streets of LA trying to earn enough money to move back.
