Clean Living

Here's my latest animation for Bright Idea Media. This is the intro for Victoria Environmental Services campaign - "Clean Living with Darryl and Marie."


Here's a look at what has to be designed ("Darryl's" truck in this case) before animation.  

The commercial is now airing in Victoria, TX, with music and sound effects. I'll post the actual commercial once it's up!

"OH YAR!"

I don't draw creatures or monsters much, so I took a stab at it.  He's got a little Jim Henson quality to him.  "OH YAR! OH YAR!"

Hooked on a show

 Yeah, I said it... Im hooked on the new season of River Monsters with Jeremy Wade.  Here's Jeremy hookin' a Riva' Monsta'!

Misleading Characters

Here are some misleading characters, set in Muir Woods, CA. On my 21st birthday, my buddies, Leo and Brandon, and I headed for Muir woods to explore. I'll just say we saw more than just the Redwoods! The other half of the story in this image was also inspired by a strange occurrence... I swear, I'm not a weirdo

Building character

I went back and further developed these two characters. I included my rough sketches along with silhouettes to show some of my processes.

Texas Warrant Roundup (2012)

Bright Idea Media and I teamed up again to produce another commercial. This one's for the Warrant Roundup. The process was a bit tricky, but the hardest part was getting my hand model-ready for the illustrations! Have a look!

Newt & Ron

A couple of the Republican candidates. These guys already look like caricatures. More to come!

Sasquatch

I recently entered a mascot design contest put on by PowerMax.com. They work with Macs and sell Mac products. They wanted a redesign of their mascot "Max," a Sasquatch. I ended up getting 1st runner-up. Here's a look at my take on "Max", the goofy yet cheerful Sasquatch. You can view the winner and entries at their facebook page.
