The Precinct: Characters pt 3 – South & Padgett
Two more cops for you to meet: South and Padgett.
South is Ackersley’s new partner. Most of Ackersley’s partners transfer out of The Precinct, quit the police force or simply disappear, but South is the kind of sweet, tolerant soul who doesn’t mind being forced to eat jerky sandwiches, carried through the muster room like a [...]
The Precinct: Characters pt 2 – Sarge & Sandhurst
Meet some more of The Precinct’s characters:
With a yell that can explode pot plants, Sarge keeps The Precinct functioning — difficult, given the number of narcissistic, preening nutbags who work there.
The Precinct loses more budget and resources every year — “tightening our belts”, says Mayor Rochman, who has plenty of reason to want to see [...]
Girl Mechanic
I was going through some old art and I found this piece, which I did as part of some Film Vic-funded development in 2008.
I still like it! It’s for a series idea called Girl Mechanic, conceived by my very talented friend Katrina Mathers. It’s a series of toons teaching women the basics of car maintenance/repair. [...]
“The Bret Braddock Adventures” animation
Making a little animated trailer for another contest. This time it’s a trailer for a webseries based on me comic “The Bret Braddock Adventures”!
Here’s some of the characters. I’m at the stage where the characters are being “built” (prepared for animating).
We had a recording session for this toon a couple weeks ago which went really [...]
John Howard’s Knees
About five years ago I wrote a script for a short film called “The Ballad of the History of Trying to Break John Howard’s Knees”, a lovely singalong tale of how our then-Prime Minister, John Winston Howard, has always had to escape brutal knee-beatings.
Those knees secrete some kind of powerful magic, tempting violence from all [...]
Idle drawing, and what’s up with The Precinct
John Kricfalusi is the gent who created Ren & Stimpy. His blog is full of excellent lessons, advice and rant on various subjects. I saw today he’s having his visitors try drawing his lovable Republican stooge, George Liquor (American), so I thought I’d take a crack at it. He’s not kidding when he says drawing [...]
As if this isn’t an “arts hub”
I occasionally write a comics/animation-related column for the website artshub.com.au (subscription-based). If you subscribe you can read my latest column there. If not, I might put it on the site at some point.
Instead I’ll show you some art I’m working up for an exhibition I’m in soon. They’re action movie video covers with a Precinct [...]
Meet Many More Characters.
I can’t be bothered doing individual posts for each character at the moment, so check out the new character lineup (link opens in a new window) and let’s learn about a few of your soon-to-be-favourite TV cops:
BEN MARTINEZ
Martinez is a greenhorn who has no idea what The Precinct is, why it exists, and what [...]
Ackersley vs dead eyes
This is the first in a series of posts describing the characters in The Precinct and their relation to the story of what I’m optimistically calling “The Precinct: Season One”.
Ackersley is the guy you’ve been seeing in the animation tests and most of the sketches I’ve been posting. This is not [...]
