3/3/10 ~ Dante's Inferno
Dante's Inferno from Morgan Schweitzer on Vimeo.
Nathan Love directed all the in-game cinematics for EA's new Dante's Inferno. This project was a lengthy undertaking, with about 12 different spots from 15-45 seconds long. I handled all the storyboarding, and much of the design. This clip is a montage of all the spots we created. Take a look here for some more of my process work.
2/23/10 ~ Mothership
Mothership from Morgan Schweitzer on Vimeo.
Nathan Love partnered with Digital Domain to join DD's roster of directors, codenamed Mothership. To promote themselves as new directors in the Mothership squad Nathan Love created this bizarro spot. I designed the characters, and Nathan Love took them to them edges of the universe! Check out more of my behind the scenes here.
1/11/10 ~ Monster Casserole: Art for Humans
Hello Humans. I've prepared for you a Monster Casserole, a delicious array of art perpetually compiled to inspire sophisticated humans with distinguished aesthetic sensibilities. Feast your eyes on the grandiose visual flavors of the Monster Casserole, and be inspired to create!

I just finished drawing the first page of "The Town Where There Were No Graves." It's still a work in progress. I intend to go back in and introduce some color using some light acrylic washes.

Aunt Martha just released their first album, Candymaker (I did the cover art). It's now on iTunes. Check it out! Their music is great!
The album will also be available soon on Amazon.com
9/29/09 - The Town Where There Were No Graves
I'm excited about how The Bloody Pulp is turning out. I thought I'd show off the first panel.
9/25/09 - The Bloody Pulp (after a long hiatus)
After about two years on the back burner, I just re-started The Bloody Pulp, a graphic novel of short stories written by Alex Kriss. The first story, The Town Where There Were No Graves seems to have aged well in the interim, and I think it should prove to be a much better piece of work now than it ever would have been 2 years ago. Also, It's a nice experiment to see how much I've improved since I'm tackling the very same project I attempted before.
9/25/09 - Digital Painting
I just learned a new digital painting technique...which, incidentally is just one of the basic Photoshop preset brushes that for some reason I never tried. My friend Anca opened my eyes to this wonderful tool. I was so excited about the new discovery that I gave it a whirl for about 45 minutes around 2:30 am last night. Here's what I came up with:

Just finished an album cover for Aunt Martha, an awesome new band out of Brooklyn. They're going on a small Northeastern tour in August. They just might be in your city. Check them out HERE.

Last year I worked with the team at Nathan Love to help create Blood Trail, a terrifyingly gruesome animated horror short. Not too long ago we were finally allowed to show it to the world, and last week Motionographer posted an article about Blood Trail. My work at Nathan Love is always behind the scenes, but an exciting part for me was that my character designs and a couple of my style frames were posted as a way to help describe how the piece was created (also I got to use a little of my After Effects knowledge to create the title shot at the end of the piece). Take a look at...The Movie

But beware. It is not for the faint hearted...
6/29/09: Illustration Academy
Just got back from the Illustration Academy Lecture Week at Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. While I was there I heard some wonderfully inspiring talks by illustration greats: Sterling Hundley, Sam Weber, Gillian Tamaki, Mark English, George Pratt, Anita Kunz, C.F. Payne, Robert Meganck, Jon Foster, Gary Kelley, Barron Storey, Francis Livingston. I also did some sketching.
5/13/09: Sketchbook
Some recent doodles from my sketchbook. Not much to say. They're all stream of consciousness...whatever came to mind at the time. I use my sketchbook to warm up before I start working.
