June Sketchbook Variety Pack!

— Thursday, June 29, 2006

It’s been a while since I’ve posted drawings — with all the moving, I haven’t had access to a scanner until now. So here’s a grab bag of sketches from June!

June 3 — My last drawing of my old house. That’s my cat Pow-Pow staring out the window from her kitty tree perch.

June 8 — A couple of tiny landscape paintings, done with watercolor and white gouache.

June 15 — Little figure paintings from a summer SHM life drawing session.

June 22 — Sketches of people on BART.

June 23 — Drawing out of my head, a dryad or some kind of forest creature.

June 25 — Sketching from movies, 2046 and Alien.


Jimmy Rodent Video Game

— Monday, June 19, 2006

Now online — the entire Jimmy Rodent Video Game short film I promised to post:


(13.6 megs, right-click to download)

We did this entire film in one night, as a “sketchbook animation” assignment. Geoff directed and I did the animation. Just about every image in the clip is lifted from one NES game or another, with the exception of Jimmy himself. And we did all the animation, unbelievably, in Adobe ImageReady, animating everything straight ahead, frame-by-frame, as an animated gif.

About the Artist

My name is Zachary Knoles, and this is my work. I'm an independent artist living and working in the SF Bay Area. I paint mostly figurative pieces with a stylized-representational look to them. I also make animated films.

Buying Original Art

Many of my paintings are available for purchase through my Etsy store. Prices range from $500 to as low as $50. I also have prints available for selected pieces. If you see a piece you're interested in that isn't currently for sale, let me know! I'm happy to work something out if I can.
