So, you may have noticed I do some film and video work from time to time when not doing comics or painting toys. This year I completed a two-year indie short film called '451' a short fan film based on the work of Ray Bradbury. I've also been experimenting with stop motion animation, and shooting promotional work for small local businesses. I've cut together a selection of my work in a new showreel and hope to be doing even more in the New Year.
Homeless Quatchi and Friends has been growing in popularity with each event I've attended. Currently at two issues of former-Olympic mascot misadventures, I plan on finishing the short series in 2013 in time for Fan Expo Vancouver (April) and Vancouver Comic Arts Festival (May). The response has been very positive, though some parents aren't interested in showing this comic to their kids despite the G rated content.
I've also been painting up a storm of custom vinyl toys, and videogame themed paintings which have proved popular with gamers and toy collectors. Glad fans are enjoying it all because I'm having fun making them. I do take commissions, and all toys up for sale.
I've also been using Google+ quite extensively and I've been happy with the engagement with all sorts of users. The mobile App is also quite good. Feel free to check out my stuff at +Albert Art+The Homeless Quatchi Project+ALBERT ART CREATIVE
This year was pretty busy, so long to 2012, and hello to 2013.
The long awaited Fahrenheit 451 Fan Film will be released on OCtober 31, 2012. Yes, Halloween. Tune into http://451film.com to watch the film tomorrow!
SHORT FILM UPDATE I've been hard at working trying to complete my latest short film "451". The film is based on Fahrenheit 451, by author Ray Bradbury. It's been over a year of work, but it is finally nearing the end. As with all independently funded projects, there have been a lot of delays, and long stretches of worry of whether I would be able to finish the production. (451 was in production for a year before Ray Bradbury passed away.) The release date of the short has been pushed back from August to mid-late September. Hopefully nothing else will delay the film!

It has been a long time coming. In fact, a year and a half in the making. From script, to final this short film has been a labour of love. A challenge, and learning experience.
I'm happy to unveil to all fans of Ray Bradbury, a short fan film based on Fahrenheit 451.
There may be lots of exciting films at this year's San Diego Comic Con, keeping geeks salivating, but I do wonder if there's a Ray Bradbury tribute, or panel. I've been too busy with this short film to know what's going on.
