Finally!

Hey Friends!

I know i've been away for a bit, new job and all! But I just wanted to post about my Directorial debut cartoon!

Last year the band "Lake of Stew" approached me through Dare to Care records and ask if I would like to do an animated video for their song "Hey Bully". I said yes indeed! Then when Bravo!Fact coughed up some dough, I got to work on it. Three months and many a friend helping out, we finished late last fall!

I'm proud to present,

HEY BULLY by Lake of Stew!

An animated video by yours truly.

HEY BULLY from Justin Nieuwland on Vimeo.

It even has it's own Blog page! All Credits, Leica reel and design drawings can be found here!! CRICKET CARTOONS! Let's hope there are more to come!!

Licorice and Chamomile under the Coffee Tree

Some new work. Part of a cross country illustration project I'm involved in. And yep, it's painted with Chamomile tea, licorice tea and coffee. not the most archival mediums but smells great!

Imature Octodoodle

I squirted this little one out while taking a break from some well needed storyboard work. I think he might be an imaginary recycling of and old Nick Price design of a baby Octopus from the Dr. Snuggles episode "The Sensational balloon race"


If yer not familiar with the Dr. Snuggles cartoon, here is a nice breakdown.

I might add they definetly seemed a little more interesting in the dark light of the Local pub.

Flower girl

Just a quick sketchbook scrawl. I like how she turned out, so I threw some colour at her. She didn't look up, but I knew she was grateful.

Napkin ink

Pen on serviette, with some photoshop colour splash.

A walk in the park..

A very fast drawing of me getting fired by my boss, for leaving his space monkey outside, in the future, on a spaceship.

A few weeks ago I was asked by a good old Friend (Erica Douglas,a teacher at Havenwood public school, whom I've known since Kindergarden) to participate in an after school reading class for an installment on illustration and cartoons. For about 40 minutes I was entertained by the most imaginative questions that only 8-10 year old kids could muster. I did my best to maintain an air of maturity as I answered there questions and share my reading interests. Eventually I ran out of time and had to conjure up this wonder of a drawing. The concept is a collaboration of about 18 kids yelling ideas at me. I wish I had kids for a boss more often. They are very forgiving, I find...here is the result-

Adrift

Dancers

I'm sure I was in a good mood when I doodled these dancers up.

Death on my doorstep

I found this unfortunate little guy on my front doorstep today..an otherwise sunny day.

Loosen up

Hey all, I find I have a bit of free time of late, and I should really be keeping up with sharing my doodles with all you, my friends..Here are some various sketchbook pages some of which I like and some I'm not sure what to think..
