What do you think of it colored? Well, this semester has been rough. There's hardly anything going on, art wise. These gen-eds are killing me and just feel like a distraction. My hopes are high, however. I've registered for Spring and my classes look great. Stop-Motion, Advanced 2D Animation II, Senior Project, Senior Portfolio, and Figure Drawing. I'm excited. I'll also probably be taking a

Well, it looks like I've finally got myself back to drawing again. Thanks to someone...who shall not be named, I have decided to go back and take yet another look at my sci-fi epic. Perhaps more pieces will be done in relation to it. But for now, I am concentrating on an animatic for my senior animation project. I am going back and finishing "Nowhere to Go" - the vector illustration animation set

Let me start off by apologizing for the lack of updates over the summer. I know it seems silly that an artist's blog isn't updated as often as his other ...online endeavors, however it can only make sense if you give me a chance. So, the summer is over and today marks nearly the end of my second week of this semester. Classes are...iffy, however, that's only because of my lack of involvement in

Hey everyone. Long time no show. Well, here it is at the end of the semester and I have some goodies to post, like every year after finals. So, here it goes. What you see above is our final Toon-Boom class project. Chad Bierdeman and Matt Weener worked on it with me using nothing but Toon-Boom AnimatePro. I was the acting art director and lead animator, doing the keys for Matt. Chad worked

Ok so this was an assignment for my Toon-Boom class I had been working on. It actually didn't take a lot of work at all really. It was all done in class and I was really stressing about getting it turned in. I then realized that no one else cared about the project and mine looked naturally decent compared to a certain someone in the class who thought she shouldn't need to animate anything, even

So I'm currently working on this animation in my free time and in my Advanced 2D Animation class. It's all my story, and it's supposed to be a pretty fly music video type of deal in the end. It's going to be shaded with screentones and hopefully look pretty sick. I spent all of this last month working on the Production StoryBoards for this and have them ready to show.

So I did a ton of work this fall on a few animations. Check 'em out! I am working on finishing two of these. The music video needs to be completed, and I have a bunch more of it done. The lip sync drawn animation is in the process of being completed as well. If you watch the Drawn Stuff collage of my hand-drawn works, you can get a glimpse of the work flow I work at. Concept, timing, blocking,

Ok, so seriously guys, I'm really bad at keeping up with this blog, mostly because of my other portfolio sites, however, I do have an audience here and this just looks nice and calm and it's just me, no one else.

Alright, so as many of you know, I am the co-author for the now-dismal fanfiction of Eureka seveN called Jedi Reloaded. Since the story seems to be collapsing, I have decided to go ahead and begin working on my after-story OVA which features Sionn and Kolevis, my characters, on a heart-felt escape to the ether realms in the Outer Rim.
