Mike Milo's Journal

I thought I posted this painting on my blog here a while back but I can’t find the link for it so here it is again just for posterity sake… It’s called:The Artist Bares His Soul

Here’s another painting I thought I posted here on my blog but apparently forgot to.

It’s called: The Politician and seeing as how we’re getting so screwed by politicians these days I thought it was appropriate to post.

A painting I did which pretty much sums up my journey as an artist these days…

Three years ago I created a seven minute animated film called “Flavio” for Nickelodeon/Frederator Films, about an over-emotional goat who works as a dishwasher in a pizzeria and longs to be a famous inventor like his hero Leonardo DaVinci.

I have not been able to post it on my site because it had to air on telivision first to be eligible for Emmys and Annies and all that stuff that only animators care about. Anyway, I can finally show it. Please check it out and as always I love to here your thoughts!
You can see a production blog about the making of Flavio at Frederator.com and learn more about Flavio here.

A portrait of my daughter Melissa.

In another example of departure for me and my typical art, I tried painting a portrait of my wife the last few days. It came out alright considering I suck at anything remotely realistic but it just doesn’t look exactly like her. I tried to get it as close as possible but it was just too hard. This is as good as it gets for now. I’m going to try another one and we’ll see where that takes me. This was painted in Sketchbook Pro 2009.

Woohoo! Some of my art made it into the Area’s celebration of 3December! Very cool! 3December is a big event that Autodesk sponsors all over the world and they made a lil’ banner and my faerie painting made it into the collage! Check her out in all her beauty! She’s the lil’ green face at the top right! (click the pic to see it bigger)

I know it sounds silly but I think it’s cool! I know… I’m a geek.

So what!

Trying something new…

Here’s a quick rendition of Dorothy and Toto I worked up (for no apparent reason)
