Hello,
I concentrate on storyboarding, concept art, animation, and illustration. My most visible projects include collaborating on storyboard development for two feature films, Barnyard and Time Cop II, and boarded the entirety of several episodes of the animated (5x11min & 2x22min) Dirk Derby Wonder Jockey.
I look forward to working on your next project.
Sincerely,
Joel Cardinal

DR. SKETCHY‘S ROADSHOW
11/05/09
Just got back from Dr. Sketchy‘s Roadshow, the Sherman Oaks pitstop. Dr. Sketchy‘s is basically alternative life drawing sessions where the models are usually in provocative costume. It is very tasteful, the models are very professional (go D.D. and Click)--it was a lot of fun. There are chapters like a franchise all over the nation. This particular one, the "Roadshow" is the L.A. chapter on tour. They will be running up and down the coast through next week. It is only $10 for three hours of drawing. I highly encourage anyone to check it out, even if you are not an "artist" they allow admittance (for $10) so that you can tour the scene and check out artists doing their thing. For more info check it HERE. They also do some little constests and I won the book of my choice Symptomatica by Ragnar (and then I found one I had to buy, Miss Mindy‘s Sassy Paper Doll Bananza).
Posted a new illustration which is a combination of 3D (modeling/rendering) and digital painting in the gallery. HERE is a direct link to the artwork. I used this approach as a warm up for other commissioned work which will require the use of 3D. If you have a project that is just a one shot, the use of 3D does not expedite the creation of the illustration. However, in the next project, I will need to depict a spacecraft from several angles and having a 3D model that I can rotate at will and render, will definitely be more efficient time-wise than just painting each. The combination of 3D and digital painting is a good combination. The background was digitally manipulated photos, the pool was 3D, and the flowing water was digitally painted. Basically I used the mediums that were most efficient for developing each part of the illustration.
Yet another incarnation of my website...I just can‘t help myself. Click around, there is new artwork in backgrounds and characters. Ruby Reaper is going on the back burner as some other projects are going to be put on high heat.
I just produced an animated teaser for the Fox/Aniboom holiday animation contest. You can view the animation by clicking the image above. This is a short "trailer" for a longer format storyline that I am pitching via the contest.
I finally got a chance to update my portfolio. In the storyboard section of my website you can see the new short I boarded, "Boyscout" and selections from work I did on Barnyard the movie and Dirk Derby Wonder Jockey.
I have an animated short that is in the works, Ruby Reaper and the Atomic Spunk. I‘ll start posting some of the concept art soon.
This is only the begining, there will be a lot of additional work and fun stuff posted soon. This blog will also soon have a full cms backend and RSS feed. Please sign up for the newsletter so you can stay up-to-date on the exciting things to come!
