Tis' the Season...

My Film

El Cacto from Garrett Hanna on Vimeo.


I uploaded my 4th year independent film project. Mike Keogh did the sound and music and the rest was done by yours truly. It was stressful and difficult at the time but when I look back at it I miss working on it. I'd love to make another film in the future.

Cave Story

1 hour speed paint I did with my friend Dave. We chose to do fan art of Cave Story because Cave Story is awesome. if you haven't heard of it or played it, then you should go hear of it and/or play it.

Whether I Like it or not...

I'm putting this piece up. I've been nitpicking at it too long. time to move on...I got a PSP and I've been playing "Prinny: Can I Really be the Hero?" and it's all kinds of good.

Been a bit hey?

The Darstalkers book is out now so I can post this.

Pages from my portfolio.

I've been working on some art here and there so I'll post new stuff sooooooooooooooooon.

The Cactus

He was named Niko in the beginning but I eventually just referred to him as "The Boy". Originally the story was that he was entrusted with a mouthpiece by his father the village Chief and it was a right of passage for him to summon the cactus gods. I cut it out because I had no clear and fast way to tell the audience that this was the situation. Niko still is the village chief's son and is granted the duty of village chief after the cactus gods finish their business. The Village Chief just isn't shown in the film. This would be said on the commentary if there were a DVD with special features.

The houses started out as cactus huts but I decided to go with adobe buildings in the end.

To be honest I never ended up doing that many preliminary drawings of the cacti. I drew the boy a lot more. I liked drawing him more. I felt that I got the designs of the cactus done and settled pretty early on.

He is Risen.

"In Christ Alone"

By Keith Getty & Stuart Townend

In Christ alone my hope is found;

He is my light, my strength, my song;

This cornerstone, this solid ground,

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love, what depths of peace,

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!

My comforter, my all in all—

Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,

Fullness of God in helpless babe!

This gift of love and righteousness,

Scorned by the ones He came to save.

Till on that cross as Jesus died,

The wrath of God was satisfied;

For ev'ry sin on Him was laid—

Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,

Light of the world by darkness slain;

Then bursting forth in glorious day,

Up from the grave He rose again!

And as He stands in victory,

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me;

For I am His and He is mine—

Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death—

This is the pow'r of Christ in me;

From life's first cry to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny.

No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,

Can ever pluck me from His hand;

Till He returns or calls me home—

Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.
