anim thumbnails (but direction changed as usual)

these are some thumbnails for an animation that I was about to start, but production got switched around a bit. I guess a lot of these posts are for my family back east since a lot of what I do seems to be a mystery to them sometimes. The way this one was going to play out was...the character walks in from screen right then begins to address the camera. I cant really post what he is saying...

Meet the Demoman

here is my small contribution to Team Fortress 2. With the help of my other team members, I was able to direct this short segment introducing the Demoman. I hope you dig it!

sharpshooter

just an idea I had a little bit ago.

jump over the posting gap

I keep getting these long gaps in between posting images. I have a lot of stuff I want to place on here. As soon as I get my stuff out of storage in Los Angeles I want to put up some thumbnails from Surfs Up. These are the sketches I did while I was animating on the movie. More art coming soon!!!

VALVE

After keeping it quiet for a long time I finally disclosed that I wanted to make a transition. I have moved to Seattle to work with some friends at Valve. I finished up my long, last, and final shot on Surf's Up and I will miss the people at Imageworks and Sony Pictures Animation. I am extremely excited about what we are going to be creating and we are about to make some major things happen.

Barcelona and Antoni Gaudi

Casa Mila

Sagrada Familia

Park Guell

I have been trying to avoid putting personal photos on this blog, but since this is artistic inspiration I thought it would be good to be placed as something that is apart of my release. I was recently in Barcelona for a cultural and artistic excursion and I was blown away by Gaudi's architecture. You have to wonder what was going on in his head..what was the thought process when he was attacking his blueprints. These are three of the pictures I took during my visit.
