Kitty Cat Katie and Gracie - Movie Poster


Here is a group shot of the neighborhood kids and animal friends done as a movie poster type of promo. This image has been used on a number of promotional pieces - a brochure, an investor's informational packet, and most recently the OodlesUnlimited.com website.

Oodles of Logos





Here are some logos generated for Oodles Unlimited, Oodles Films, Kitty Cat Katie and Gracie, and Orbie for Orphans (a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping kids without parents.)

Orbie the firefly has become the mascot for Oodles. He's the wise sage that literally and figuratively illuminates situations for the kids. I think he's kind of like Yoda.

Rough Model Sheets




Here are some rough model sheets from early to mid-development. Some of the sketches are not included because they weren't close enough to the character. These images show Gracie and her best furry friend Kitty Cat Katie.

Kitty Cat Katie and Gracie

I've been doing some work for Oodles Unlimited developing some character properties for market. "Kitty Cat Kate and Gracie" is the name of the project and I will be posting a series of images in (roughly) chronological order. 

This artwork of "Gracie" is done by Charlotte Ström who developed the first graphic images for this neighborhood of kids and their animal friends.

I am very lucky to be working directly with Hal Brown and his wife Stephanie on this project. Hal originally developed the characters and is now preparing to bring them to market.
