Again, Trying to get out of my comfort zone and design and paint like I don't normally go. Let me know what you think. Just needed a mental break from the style and property of Spaced Out.

1/2 way through Kickstarter and 72% funded!
That's right. We are getting there and still there's time for you to help support the cause.
So here is what the support and funds get to do. During the campaign I am going back and tweaking and fixing making the art and storytelling tighter. Hopefully you can tell the difference. I certainly can. So please, head on over and support, tweet, facebook, and send out word to any and all!
The website for Fil & Mantis is here as well http://filandmantis.com/
I'll have more as the days draw closer on the Kickstarter and campaign.

I love when my art becomes something more
So I got a few pics of this cool clay sculpting of one of my characters.
The artist and animator is
Martin Joas
It's really fun to see my art become something more than just a drawing from me.
I love seeing people inspired and taking it to another level.
so fun. Here's what Martin was working off of.
A podcast interview between myself and Chris Oatley

Interview With Character Designer Brett “2D Bean” :: ArtCast #61
-Brett Bean
In This Episode:
- Why you might NOT want to work at Pixar or Disney…
- What makes an appealing character design?
- Do you HAVE to do your own personal projects to succeed as a character designer?
- How you might miss your creative calling if you don’t question everything.
- How your artistic growth is like video games.
- How to battle bitterness.
- What to do when you feel like giving up…
Freelance Freedom:
“I was talking to one of the Pixar guys and he [asked me] how much of my wanting to work at Disney or Pixar was just hubris. [He told me to] dissect the reasoning behind my goals. That was tough. But I went home and I did some soul searching. It was the best advice I could have [received]. He was right. I want to work in an environment where I’m learning and I’m helping and I’m making people laugh and I’m making people happy… …doing art for a living. And then everything switched. My goal was no longer thinking ‘I have to be here or there…’ There are so many great companies that I’d love to work with… But it’s no longer THE goal. It’s not the end-all-be-all.”

The Kickstarter is LIVE! Spaced Out!
Hello all across the internet! My official first ever Kickstarter is now underway. I am beyond excited and happy to be this far along the adventure. Please oh please won't you join me?
To be whisked away to learn more about the project, me, the video and lend some support in any way that you can. Helping out on kickstarter is always appreciated but even if you only tweet, Facebook, or just plain yell it to someone I'd be enormously grateful. I've been working on this in my off work hours for months and months and now that I am more than half way done I'd like to share it. So head on over, more info aplenty. C'mon, let's make it a quickstart!
As always, thanks for joining me on this crazy ride!
Cheers,
Bean
