July 15th, 2024
Project Description
I’ve been keeping up with the marker renderings, loosely, for about a year now. Mostly it’s just been doodles to work off stress, but every once in a while I throw another life drawing into the mix, and I’m usually pretty impress... Read More
Circuits
Image Date
October 25th, 2023
Project Description
I was playing around one day with using thick lines as shapes, and playing around with the ways they interacted. Eventually I came up with one that I liked, and decided to run with it. The result was easy to draw, easy to replicate, and the more time... Read More
Marker Renderings
Image Date
June 1st, 2023
Project Description
Recently I went through and scanned a bunch of artwork I did in college, and looked at what I enjoyed the most, what looked the best, and what I'd like to see more of. Then later, I was at a ComicCon and saw some really awesome pen/ink sketches, and ... Read More

Project Description
An unfinished project I worked on; "What REALLY causes a toddler's table to become so messy...". It was a cute idea, but I don't think I had time to finish it, sadly.... Read More
Storyboard Classwork
Image Date
January 1st, 2001
Project Description
A few projects that required storyboards. Since animations take so long to create, planning out the flow of the story is one of the most important steps, so we spent a lot of time planning out the scenes. Some of these projects were built, some we... Read More
Gesture Drawings – 2
Image Date
November 1st, 2000
Project Description
Most of the female models you'll see during this period were the same woman (I forget her name). I didn't particularly like her - she moved a lot, or would scratch her face 10m into a 1hr pose, and then put her hand in a COMPLETELY different position... Read More

April 1st, 2000
Project Description
A series of early character sketches for some of my 2D animation work. Testing out different techniques that could be easily repeated for character use.... Read More
No-Look Self Portrait
Image Date
February 15th, 2000
Project Description
The assignment was to do a self portrait in front of the mirror, but without looking at the page. The goal is to train your hand to do what your eye sees, and not what your brain thinks it's drawing.... Read More
Marker Sketches
Image Date
February 1st, 2000
Project Description
I don't recall this assignment; most of my life drawing classes used pencil/paper, sometimes colored pencil to capture lighting. I'm assuming the goal here was just to capture the binary "what is in shadow; what is in light?". Most of the drawings sh... Read More
Graphic Design
Image Date
January 1st, 2000
Project Description
"Take the logo from an existing business, and create an entire logo package for them". I repeated the design everywhere, but the logo itself would never print particularly well. As much as I hate the original, as a business owner, it's much more vers... Read More
“Initials” Variations
Image Date
November 2nd, 1999
Project Description
The assignment was to create a design using our logos, and to see how many of these we could create. I think I've probably made at least 25 of these, but these are all I can seem to find today. If I come across more, I'll definitely update this en... Read More
Shading & Texture
Image Date
November 1st, 1999
Project Description
Early Art School class where I studied shading, design, layout. We had a few assignments where we'd sketch something, then come back later and shade it. Both halves of the assignment were graded. I feel like this was a good exercise and helped me bre... Read More
Japan Trip

Project Description
The assignment was to take a photograph of yourself, alter it in 3 different styles on the computer, and then reproduce each of those results by using a different style by hand. The computer versions included a BW posterization effect, a "pointali... Read More
