Robot Commission



This is a piece I did for a friend of some awesome friends. This is actually a wood panel that slots into a wall in their home. I hope they like it. It's Cel-Vinyl on wood with Rub n' Buff on the frame. This was one of my favorite paintings to do!

Vampire Best Friend - COMPLETE



I've finally finished her! Designed, sculpted and painted. Next I think I'll make her some pals. Eventually I'd like to have a whole posse of puppets to be animated.

Spanish Film Shadow Puppet Concepts





I had a chance to do some shadow puppet concepts and transitions for a stop-motion film in Spain. It centers around modern mysteries and the Black Plague. These are some of the rough sketches. The idea was to use the symbolism of El Camino, the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

More shadow concepts for Spanish film

Space Diorama


This is a diorama I made for a children's film workshop led by fellow Coraliner Jainee Dial. I had so much fun and it made me remember how much I love making these! The two characters are animatable. Sorry for the crappy pic.
