Artichoke Hearts is DONE

Artichoke Hearts Completed from Kazimir Lee Iskander on Vimeo.

FULLSCREEN THIS THING.
The final version of my Senior Thesis film, and my ticket outta this burg. The story of a Angus Grant, a cranky middle-aged divorcee and Teehan Delko, his spirited, 10-year-old neighbor, cast away from the world on a lonely island in the American Midwest called Artichoke Meadows. There are many things I'm pleased about with this film, and many more I would fix if I could do it over. But after two and a half years of bustin' my ass, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't proud.
Also, I just downloaded Johnny Cash's latest posthumous album, American VI: ain't no grave. fantastic! Lots of new work to come.

Angus and Teehan

Andrew Chesworth produced the last two drawings, for his own sick pleasure, and I found them while ransacking his things for money for my pills. he is very sick. His work can be found at www.andrewchesworth.com.

Artichoke Hearts (black and white)

.

In the desolate American gated suburb of Artichoke Meadows, a misanthropic middle-aged critic and an annoying ten year old boy, two neighbors, decide to stay home from work for a day of R & R. Hilarity, and the awareness of a universe in which everyone is alone, ensues. Can Angus Grant and Teehan Delko get through today with their faith in love and humanity intact? My animated senior project from the last glorious year at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Fullscreen view this mother-effer.

Angus n' Teehan; The Animated Series

a little more then pencil tests from my huge-ass senior project that I am struggling to finish as we speak, Artichoke Hearts, concerning major league sourpuss Angus Grant and minor-league pussy willow, Teehan Delko. Soon this will look like it could be on TV, I promise.

Angus and Teehan

My senior animation project is a short, mostly dialogue-free animated film about two neighbors, Angus Cooke, a stuffy middle-aged intellectual, and Teehan Carter, an effeminate, destructive ten year old boy, who is super in love with Angus for some reason. They both live in pretty much self-contained worlds of loneliness and misunderstandings, and struggle with their lame-ass lives as best they can. Above is the first sketch I ever did of them together, and below are a copy of color schemes that I may use for it. Haven't decided which one yet. Tell me what you think.

Character designs circa 2007

my character designs for Space Kelly, my comic about an androgynous space-bandit, Moonhead and Meisner, and High Treason, my concept work for two boarding school friends trapped in a surreal Village, and a high school drama, respectively, and for Teehan and Angus, my senior animation project for school. As of the end of 2007.
