I had wanted to publish something other than background designs, however since that is what my life is all about these days, that's about all I have to post right now. I also wanted to showoff the fantastic work that the color team here at Bardel has been doing with my designs. I've already published the Foyer (top) and the Greenhouse (bottom), and you can see my rough pencil sketches in some earlier postings. The Pumpkin Patch and the Secret Lab are new. It amazes me how much life color can add to a sketch. Unfortunately the martini glass in the Secret Lab was yet another victim of censorship, much like the dog in the Kitchen (see earlier posting). C'est la vie...

Just thought I'd throw some different styling in for a bit of a change. These are some designs I did while working on 'Atomic Betty', season one. I think of all the backgrounds I did for that show these would have to be my favorite. I really like the farm one, though it did go through some revisions as the scene was to be set in the praries. Ooops. No mountains there I guess. I should learn to read the scripts better. Anywase, it was a great show to work on, and the style was always lots of fun. Quite a change from the intense detail of 'Edgar and Ellen'. I never did see the finished colors, I guess I will have to pick up the DVD's and watch carefully. Would someone let me know if they are out yet? Thanks...
