MIDI Compositions Batch 1
Ultimate Guitar used to have accessible Guitar Pro files that you could download and open up in the Guitar Pro program. The amount you could learn from unwrapping the compositions of your favorite songs was absolutely pivotal in my learning journey. They have since...

Animating a Character Action Scene – Part 1
I'll be writing a series of posts that detail my processes and methods of making an animated shot of a character action. The example we'll be using is Scary the Legendary. The first step to animating a character is to of course, design the character so that it can be...
Scary the Legendary

[ASSET] Heelis
And another prop way too detailed to be practical for animation use, but is cool to look at and take apart. Heelis are Scary Buseys footwear of choice because of it's efficiency and speed. He owns several pairs including the 2003 limited edition. Download links at the...

[ASSET] Stop-It
This talking toy probably looks familiar to many of you. Do we all remember the Bop-It? Well this is the Stop-It. What separates it from the Bop-It is that it actively discourages you from playing it. You can guess what it says (in agony) when you try to play it....
Battle of Wits
Here we have a concept short from Macrosmith Solutions, an animation series in development. This bit features Arnie the experimental long-neck armadillo, and Anthony Squawking playing a game of chess despite their physical limitations.
StratoBASStard
Okay this one is a little different. I once asked myself; "Has anyone out there made a fretless bass/ electric guitar hybrid?" I couldn't find one like the design I had in my head. So I decided to challenge myself to build one. Unfortunately I can't find the hand...
Scary Busey: Animation Rig
To make a skeleton rig in Toon Boom Harmony, you usually need to break characters up into pieces of limbs and interchangeable handsets and link them together in either a timeline hierarchy or a node system. Here is what my node system skeleton looks like for Scary...

Battle Code
There was a time when learning JAVA, that I wanted to make an offensive pokemon clone. I wish I hadn't made it offensive, so then I would share the whole thing, but I've combed through and taken the battling part of the code to share here. [su_box title="Battle.java"...
Physics is Hard
While teaching myself JAVA in highschool, I spent a bit of time writing a projectile velocity calculator. Now, it's been a while since I've coded. I don't know how coherent the code is or how well it works. But here is the code and a zipped JAVA program if anyone...
Martin Dreadnought
This is my baby, cleverly named Martin. A Martin Dreadnought, DXM Natural 2003. It's not top of the line, but it's everything I need in an acoustic guitar. Bought June 9th 2017 for $395 used. I played this every day on my lunch break in the parking lot when I was...

Stratobastard
This is one of my electric guitars. The tuning pegs and machines on the EAD strings tune in reverse as the set was from a different guitar. The pickups are custom single coil and a humbucker at the bridge The pick-guard is custom painted
Frank the Fire Hazard
Frank V1 When upgrading an old computer, I made a stupid mistake. I bought the wrong size motherboard. So, the logical choice was to go onto Newegg and buy the right size case, or return the motherboard for one that was the right size. Unfortunately, I was out...
Pitch Scale
The assignment was to create a weighing scale. Some used springs, some used rubber bands, I used guitar strings. Using the equations above, I built a scale that used tension on a guitar string as an indicator for the mass of a load. There are 3 variables that...
Music Journal: All Pages
At the beginning of my time at WWU, I started independently studying music theory to get better at guitar. Everything I know about music theory and sound engineering is written in this blue moleskine notebook. I'll continue to post pages from it that have relevant...
