RE:Form School Art Exhibition

I am super exited to be a part of this Art Exhibition in New York. I created this piece specifically for the show that benefits our public school system. Something that I always carry with me is the support and encouragement that my teachers/family gave me growing up. I wanted to do something that might eventually make its way back to the ones that might not have the same opportunity that I was fortunate to have.

Buffalo (Round 2)

My awesome cousin hired me to create this DJ-ing Buffalo for his High School Yearbook.

Seven Days Cover

I was excited to get a call from Seven Days last week asking me to do a cover for this weeks issue. Here is the result! I created the illustration and the layout was done by Andrew Sawtell.

Bird

Award

So a friend of mine sent me THIS link this morning. My agency won an award for startwhereyouarevt.org. I created most of the illustrations and the bird animation found within the site. (If you scroll down far enough you can see it.) A lot of sweat went into making this site, so congrats to everyone that was involved in making this thing come to life. I played a small role, but i'm glad to have been a part in creating the overall look.

World Hunger FIN

World Hunger

Poor choice of words. I know and I promised myself that I wouldn't get all opinionated on my blog, but this is my reaction to what I saw on the morning shows today. The media is so excited about how a certain gazillion dollar pop princess' appearance was on the VMA's last night... WHO CARES! She still is swimming like Scrooge McDuck in a sea of money while millions of kids in the U.S. and around the world starve... Also, they're reporting on the poor box office weekend took on a very serious tone. It was like a natural disaster hit or an important historical figure died. They never report on the issues plaguing the world, just the ones that make us forget about the ones that matter. OK... i'm done ;).

Little Peeps

Unicel Commercial

So this is a project that i've been working on for about a month now... It finally aired so I can share it with the world. This is a commercial promoting an upcoming back to school campaign for Unicel. The creative director wanted to keep the look consistant with the print & web materials. Certain elements, such as the unicorn and thunderbird I used from the print campaign, but the beginning classroom scene I came up with from the initial script. We were pretty excited about this project since it was our first in-house production. The creative director and writer came up with the story, I storyboarded and animated everything and the music was composed by one of our producers and myself. Click on the image to check it out!

DragonManThing

I had a little down time at work today so i decided to draw with on a piece of paper instead of the Wacom. Crazy, huh? I might stick to it.

Bunny

I know, I know... Everyone is copying this "little golden books style" these days, but I found a need to explore it for some reason. So I decided to make this for a co-worker since it was her last day today. (She has a toothless bunny.) Poor thing has to gum carrots to death.

Osturducken

Ok, so my friends and I were out for lunch the other day and got on the topic of what a "Turducken" was. (Ya know, that crazy southern inspired meal where you stuff 3 different buzzards into one another like those old Russian wooden dolls?) So we started to brainstorm about taking it to the next level... So one of my co-workers decided that an Ostrich would be the next logical step in the evolution of this mighty dish. We then coined the term "Osturducken", and I drew a quick sketch of what this long legged bird would look like.

Heart.. Heart.. Happy Heart

Vermont 3.0

Well, I just got back from the Vermont 3.0 conference and it was pretty amazing to see a 6 foot version of the Spaceman! I took a few pictures, saw some friends and got to put some names to the businesses that form some of Vermont's most creative companies. I just hope that I can convince the place I work for now to participate next year!

Bush Color

I finally got the OK to color this illustration. But the client didn't go for the colors I selected. Oh well. They wanted them to pop a little more, so I reverted to more of a primary selection... I'll post the final in a couple of days.

Freelance BUSH Project

This is a freelance gig I landed for a small group opposing the bombing of Iran. It will be placed on the side of a vehicle that is being customly made to look like a Bomb. Should be fun! You can see the revisions I was asked to make from the sketch to the inking... (Bomb bigger and Bush a little meaner/crazier.) I can't wait to color it!

SpaceMan!

Sketch and Final Ink & Color

I just figured I'd throw this up here...

This is an animation I did in college.

Bird Animation

An animation I did a couple of weekends ago for a local website.
