I can't believe it's almost over and I can't believe it's been almost exactly one year since my last post.<br />
<br />
I'll be taking some time off very soon, during that break I plan on healing my injured hand. I'll be reflecting a bit, I plan to write a little and get back on the horse for drawing again, but with my left hand. All I have been doing is re-injuring my dominant hand, I would save my hand for work so I could finish the project.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to share what has consumed my life over the past 5 months. I've been working on something very fun and I couldn't have done it with out the team that helped me. :) Here's to the wrap party!!Toby Cochranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00454841910507889783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30349139.post-11347440028818176102014-03-24T22:08:00.001-06:002014-03-24T22:18:04.054-06:00The Doodlenauts #2<b>The Doodlenauts & The Muppets Recap! </b><br />
<br />
Saturday March 22nd I hosted my second Doodlenauts event at Washington Square Park! I couldn't have conjured up a better day for us to be out sketching.<br />
<br />
Lots of new faces this time around and always great to see my friends that I haven't seen in a while. We started drawing around 1pm and didn't stop until 5pm. I don't know where the time went, but it flew by! I almost wanted to extend it another hour, but we had plans to go down and eat before watching Muppets Most Wanted.<br />

The Muppets sequel was fun, very silly and a lot to enjoy. I am not a big fan of musicals, but this film had some great songs, one in particular called, <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/44ecad55bf/i-ll-get-you-what-you-want-cockatoo-in-malibu">"I'll Get You What You Want"</a> I Loved the song, loved the performance and staging along with all the little gags during this sequence. I don't think the film was as good as the first, but fun non the less.<br />

Here are some photos of The Doodlenauts!<br />

I had a freaking blast, and it was fantastic to meet new people! Next month there will be the World Wide Sketchcrawl and that same weekend I'll be celebrating my birthday! I think I'll be spending that day at the beach. I'll test the waters to see if people want to attend two sketching events in one month. :)<br />
<br />
Until next time! Thanks again everyone for making it such an awesome day.<br />

For those who don't have any idea what <a href="http://tcanimation.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-doodlenauts-lego-movie.html">The Doodlenauts </a>is all about well... it's YOU! Sketchcrawlers, urban sketchers, painters, photographers, game devs ... simply put; artists! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's open to everyone, you don't have to be an artist to attend. I enjoy supporting my community and meeting new people. It's all about relaxing, meeting others, sharing tips and tricks and making new friends. :D</div>

Overcast skies, gusty winds and lots of rain forced me to change the meetup location from Chinatown to doodling inside the Westfield Mall. Which worked out great, we had plenty of people to draw, lots to eat and we were nice and dry!</div>

My friend made a great comment about explaining what The Doodlenauts is all about. "It's like Planet Fitness, but for your drawings."<br />
<br />
I love that haha. If you don't get the reference, then let me explain a wee bit. Planet Fitness is a simple gym, anyone can get a membership and not worry about being judge. Same principle applies with Doodlenauts, no judgement, all levels of artistic ability are welcome.<br />

We then attended <a href="http://www.thelegomovie.com/">The Lego Movie</a>. And it was hilarious! Such a fun movie, loved the style, solid story. The directors have produced nothing but great entertaining movies, I hope if they have a sequel that the original crew comes back. </div>

I would like to introduce my new group called The Doodlenauts!<br />

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1396963723893949/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming">Doodlenauts & The Lego Movie!! </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So what's The Doodlenauts you ask? It's an event for artists: photographers, doodlers, painters, developers etc; to go out and 'doodle' in the urban jungle! And more importantly to have fun, hangout, meet new people and share tips and tricks all while eating delicious food.<br />
<br />
In addition to the Doodle day event I arrange dinner, a movie (usually animated) and a place for drinks after!<br />
<br />
I've been hosting different events for the last two years now and have been wanting to "brand" it as something other than calling it a <u><a href="http://www.sketchcrawl.com/">SketchCrawl</a>.</u> 1. Because my events are not exactly the same as a Sketchcrawl 2. I'm tired of people asking me if certain Pixar folks will be out drawing <span style="font-size: x-small;">(granted those people aren't really there to draw in the first place)</span> and 3. I wanted something that represented what I was doing and creating.<br />
<br />
A few of my movie night events have been so big, I now have a go-to guy at the theater in the city just incase I need to arrange a private screening. Which we could have for the film Wreck It Ralph!<br />
<br />
I love being out and about, in a fantastic city on a beautiful day and surrounded by incredibly talented people. Then to continue that enthusiasm into the movie, and experience it with everyone and after we talk / critique/ dissect the film over drinks. And it's freaking awesome.<br />
<br />
My goal is to share that energy and create a fun community of artists. I've also got larger goals for this "brand' as well.<br />
<br />
I'm kind of shooting from the hip as I don't normally create a group or property without making sure I have everything created (logo, website, social media, etc) But I want this to grow and be a process I can share. One of my larger goals with all of this is to one day create my own foundation to help ensure schools across the United States have ART programs, that includes: Music, Painting, Dancing, Theater and whatever else they want! It's something that wont happen over night, but this is my first active step towards my goal.<br />
<br />
SO! If you are ever around in San Francisco or the Bay Area be sure to keep an eye out for The Doodlenauts! :DToby Cochranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00454841910507889783noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30349139.post-74985752132216322352014-01-25T23:37:00.000-07:002014-01-28T23:42:40.600-07:00First Sketch Meetup of 2014!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

The weather had been so nice in the Bay Area I thought I would take advantage of it and host a Sketch meetup. The first of Many this year! I'm also going to work on a group name to make my events know and distinct. </div>

Unsure what to expect, I knew I had to bust my ass if I wanted to survive in this new location. I quickly realized how freaking talented the artists in the Bay Area were. I've always been competitive, no matter if it's entering an ice cream eating contest, running obstacle courses or trying to be the 'best' in school. Over the years I've grown to allow my competitive nature help inspire me and not defeat me when difficult times arise.<br />
<br />
It was my goal to hopefully build a new circle of friends as I moved out here not knowing anyone. I left everyone I cared about back home in Colorado. I was motivated to learn as much as I could and promised myself to have fun while doing it! I had something to prove, I told myself I would not be returning home. I would either make it happen or die, and I was willing to do whatever it took to stay out here and stay inspired. I welcomed failure with arms wide open, lowered my head and kept moving forward. If I had to get a job at a coffee shop I would, manuel labor jobs again, fine, customer service jobs, so be it. I was going to stay... no matter what.<br />
<br />
I've been very fortunate to meet some incredible people along my journey since September 2011 and to this very day. I'm thankful for the friends I've made.<br />
<br />
And to celebrate and say thank you to my first class I've created this little video. Enjoy!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Along with my first class of badasses I would like to thank everyone else whom I've met along my way. Thank you for being you and thanks for being so damn awesome.<br />
<br />
Now back to creating more awesome stuff, this is just the beginning!<br />

As I mentioned that this blog would remain solely for writing, helping others, or just a place that other artists could come and possibly see some of the struggles I've gone through thus far in my career. The goal? To potentially connect with people and let them know / feel that they are not alone in their struggles.<br />
<br />
I haven't blogged in a while, I know. But I just came back from Siggraph and I'm so freaking amped up on incredible energy I am fired up to start writing again. <br />
<br />
I find that the energy one can gain from a great experience is very important to save and "use". Siggraph was over a week ago and I'm still riding on my energy buzz. The take away? Apply it before you lose it!<br />
<br />
Anyways, I'm writing this as a way to hold myself accountable to post more.

I want to present everyone with <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1227884403/claire-and-the-keys-an-animated-short-film">ANOTHER Kickstarter campaign</a>!! This time from my very close friend John B. Ludwick! This has been a passion project as I have been by Ludwick's side since the inception that long walk back in LA, late one night.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Ludwick and I have pitched to Disney, tackled some monster mayhem burgers in CO, storyboarded an entire feature film in a week and were in Animation Mentor together back in 2007. He's been a big part of my success, he's been instrumental in my life as a collaborator and a great friend.<br />

On <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1227884403/claire-and-the-keys-an-animated-short-film">Claire & the Keys</a> my roles have been to serve as story supervisor; I've helped a bit on storyboards here and there, and tightened continuity with each new edit. After MANY, many, many late nights talking, writing, drawing the characters, their backstory, and going rounds and rounds over the development of the short film, it's finally on it's way to be completed.<br />

We had our first crew meeting the other night, and you could feel the energy in the room! Most of us hadn't seen one other since our last film shoot in December. So it was great to get moving on the project again.</div>

And again, thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. We have two weeks left of filming and it's going to be intense but fun! Oh, and check out our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sanfranland">facebook page! Give us a LIKE! :P</a><br />

<br />
<a href="http://silvertoons.com/">Stephen Sliver</a> just released a video encouraging artists to stop wasting their time and energy by creating art for free. I love it.<br />
<br />
Back in Colorado I struggled running my own company, I took on a lot of odd and end gigs but they were all paid. I always ran into individuals or organizations that wouldn't pay me industry standard wages or what I felt I was worth. And I would always walk away. I learned the hard way, and I learned very quickly. (except for my tv series project - but that's another story for another time.)<br />
<br />
Anyways, watch the video, it's worth your time. Thanks Stephen.<br />

My friend and old roommate <a href="http://www.maratdavletshin.blogspot.com/">Marat Davletshin</a> has just accepted a full-time job as an animator at <a href="http://www.disneyanimation.com/">Walt Disney Animation Studios!</a> He'll be joining an incredible crew and one of my good friends <a href="http://vimeo.com/31621454">Hobbie</a>!<br />
<br />
Check out Marat's demo reel below.<br />

I put together a little going away party for Marat over the weekend in Berkeley and it was great fun. A lot of the original Animation Collaborative crew came out to celebrate. We were only missing 3 people from our Gesture Drawing class! And to get the night going we had vodka and pickles, just how they do it back home in Russia. :P<br />

<br />
As you can already see, I've made some changes. Nothing is finished, but I figure done is better than perfect... for now.<br />
<br />
I'm still deciding on my new SketchBlog site and the rest of the tabs. If anyone has thoughts or feedback on making my site better or simpler I'm all ears. SketchBlog is just for art related posts.<br />
<br />
"MyWorld" will now be my writing blog to help promote and write about projects I'm working on or projects that I think are super cool and need to be shared. :D<br />
<br />
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has helped me over the last year, it's been an incredible ride and I look forward to this year's wild ride.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's to new beginnings, new adventures, and a new you.<br />

Since moving to the Bay area, I've organized quite a-few meet-ups for drawing events or just fun random gatherings.<br />
<br />
This past weekend was another great event! We were front row watching some world champion sumo wrestlers! How freaking fun, and what great shapes to draw.<br />
<br />
I've been thinking a lot about founding a group. For almost all of the drawing events I use the name "SketchCrawl" - which is very familiar to artists from around the world as it's a very well established <a href="http://www.sketchcrawl.com/">global event</a>. Super cool.<br />
<br />
I'm not interested in creating a global event (just yet :P ) but I would like to do something that was my own. What I want to do is for everyone and anyone, drawing abilities not included. I've created a fun name for my group and now I'm developing a logo for it.<br />
<br />
I've always <i>enjoyed</i> getting people together but out here, I've realized how much I <i><u>love</u></i> getting people together and organizing / hosting events. A while back, I thought about quitting my day job and start looking for a gig as a event planner or promoter. I was doing quite a bit of work for one organization and I realized I could put that energy into something of my own and have the outcome be directed towards something I wanted. Thus benefiting me and others and in the future having an even bigger outreach. <br />
<br />
<br />
I'm slowly progressing forward doing all the things that I enjoy; combining my passions. That's the key. I think. :)<br />
<br />
more to come!<br />

First I crashed on a couch in Berkeley, then making my way into the city and finally finding a place back in the East Bay just north of Berkeley.<br />
<br />
Less than 6 miles from my class. I became very familiar with the streets of East Bay, running, walking, biking everywhere. In February I was fortunate to find a gig in Burlingame. Only 28.6 miles away, doesn't sound far. But with no car, no bike and only using the Bus and trains to commute, it devoured almost 4 hours of my day. That's 20 hours a week!<br />
<br />
I was working a part time job by just commuting, I used those hours as best as I could. When I bought a bike that helped save me 15 mins and turned my legs into tree trunks :P<br />

I put up with that for 7 months and it broke me. My health quickly went out the window and now I'm in recovery mode. I wised up a bit and moved a mile away from work. MY. GOD. I can't believe I can get more than 4-5 hours of sleep now. I can't believe I put up with that commute for so long. I kept tricking myself but couldn't take it any longer.<br />
<br />
Now I'll use that time to continue working on my growth again (surprised?) And I'll use that time to meet new faces and build stronger friendships. SO much has happened in the last year, so many stories.<br />
<br />
I've written almost all my stories down and have now decided to create a 30-50 pg little comic book about my experience. I'm in no rush to do so, as I have one particular objective; which is to become better artist. I've already started drawing some of the ideas out, but I'll start fleshing it all out around Nov-Dec this year.<br />
<br />
It's hard to believe that it's already been a year. ONE YEAR. I came out here not knowing anyone, I was uninspired, my whole "plate" was wiped clean when I lost all my work when my computer crashed. It was a very symbolic, I had a fresh start. I did come hungry however.<br />
<br />
Now, I have more ideas than I know what to do with. I'm surrounded by some of the greatest artists and people I've ever met. And this city never ceases to amaze me with what is happening or what I might stumble upon. Kind of silly I didn't come out here sooner. But it's been exactly what I needed.<br />
<br />
I'm going to hit the last four months hard and crank up my work. I have a lot of new things in the works and I can't wait to share them.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned.<br />

I wanted to share this video because it's awesome. And I'm a fan of Terry Chews, the dude is hilarious. Watch all the way until the end, then play around with the music makers. </div>

It's a bit creepy but super cool what they came up allowing the user to create. Some really cool programming mixing in with video. I like the creative interactivity of this video. </div>

Finally got around to posting my July Doodlegrams! You can follow my <a href="http://tobycochran.tumblr.com/">tumblr</a> to see my drawings posted on a regular basis. But if you like waiting until the end of the month (or in this case 2, stick around this place) :) enjoy. </div>

Well it's official, half of the year is wrapped up! I can't believe how quickly time is going by this year! I have two more weeks of classes at AnimC then it's break time for a bit. And the game I have been working on will get released on the 17th of July. (fingers crossed that date doesn't change again ha.)</div>

After that, who knows what will happen. I do know I'll be revamping this site, slowly showing my work as I have yet to show any of it. </div>

I've been a story supervisor for a friends short film for over a year now, we just realized the other night how long we've been working on the project. And as of last night I've been asked to storyboard for a friends film out here in SF. Can't. Freakin. Wait. </div>

Advance story class has been intense, we have been working on a 30 minute short film idea, and just last week we finally hit a stride in figuring out Act II which allowed some things to click into place. Not sure if we will ever finish it but either way it's been a great experience. </div>

Even though it doesn't look like it, I am still drawing as much as possible. I wanted to share my instagram pics of some of the art work I've been doodling.<br />
<br />
I wanted to thank those who posted and wrote me personal emails about my last post "<a href="http://tcanimation.blogspot.com/2012/04/road.html">the road</a>". I appreciate everyone taking the time to do so.<br />
<br />
enjoy!<br />

Nah. ha ha. I've been MIA the last couple of months, I was fortunate enough to land a new gig in Burlingame. I'm working as a Production Artist/ Technical Artist. The role is new for me, but I'm getting to play in a very important and active roll for the studio. It's kept me busy to say the least.<br />
<br />
So busy, my art has halted. And I feel terrible. I've seriously been having trouble trying not to beat myself up over this. I feel like I need to post this and explain something as well. I've had a lot of comments about what a website should be. And I've come to the conclusion that for <i>me</i> my site will not be a site you come to for incredible artwork. Post after post, nothing but f**king awesome art. I hope to post the best art I can, but I'm also going to write.<br />
<br />
Because I feel, for some reason, someone out there might be able to relate to my struggles and can see they aren't the only one going through the same crap.<br />
<br />
As much as I would like to post beautiful artwork all the time, the bottom line is I'm just not there yet. And over the last couple weeks I've been learning to accept that, and accept that my road is different than others and it's going to take me longer to do what I want to do.<br />
<br />
My new job has brought new hurdles, the largest being my commute and the feeling I've lost all control of time. I spend almost 4 hrs every day going to and from work. I try and make sure I use that time as wisely as I can, practicing good habits is key. Unfortunately my art for my classes has slowed way, WAY down like I mentioned and I've felt worthless really. So much progress and it's stopped.<br />
<br />
However, if I take a step back and reflect for a moment, has it stopped? Am I terrible? Just a year ago, I was laid off, I made the decision to change my focus and do whatever I could to start learning from the best. For the last 6 years I spent my time and energy on learning everything I could on running a business, becoming a better leader, finding financial backers, and stressing about not being able to pay my team. During that time I never really pushed my art.<br />
<br />
Well that has changed, and compared to 2011 I've come a long way! I'm proud to say I made 3 new portfolios, each better than the last. Did I get the dream job? No, not yet, but I will. My road is longer than others and I'll get there when I get there.<br />
<br />
I've also been coming to the realization that maybe what I wanted for so long isn't exactly what I want now.<br />
<br />
Next post "The Journey."<br />

It's hard to find that in studios, and within the people working at those studios. My buddy said it best, "To create in an a collaborative and positive environment you're going to get real innovation." I couldn't agree more, it's a world of difference working along side people who are passionate about what they do, helping everyone on the team grow. </div>

Double Fine achieved their $400,000 goal in less than a day. I love the idea of what they are doing, taking control of their future, not depending on someone else.</div>
