Finally gonna get around to uploading and cleaning up some projects from school!

This was a project completed for my ANIM 724: 3-D Naturalistic Animation. For the assignment, I had to complete fifty life drawing poses, then pose them in 3D.

Character Animation Demo Reel (2014-2015)



Brand new year, brand new demo reel!

Included in this demo reel are clips from my undergrad senior short film, "Bridges" - the film as a whole wasn't as successful as I would have liked, but there were segments that I thought I did pretty decently on in terms of animation. So, I included them!

Tony Packo's at the Ball Park / Winterfest 2014 Artwork








Since June 2011, I've worked as a part-time employee for the Toledo-famous restaurant, Tony Packo's - first I was a food counter attendant, now I am a gift shop attendant. 

Recently, I was commissioned by one of my higher-ups to create some artwork promoting the company's original characters during Toledo's 2014 Winter Fest event. I also managed to incorporate the Toledo Mud Hen and Walleye mascots, since a) The restaurant I work at is the Downtown location, right next door to Fifth-Third Field, and b) The Toledo Walleye are featured prominently throughout / are hosting Winter Fest. 

The characters featured are, in order from the top: Dill the Pickle, Frank the Hot Dog, Pickles the Packo Dog, Nana the Bell Pepper and Baby Brittany the Tomato. 

All the pieces featured above are currently on display next door to the company's downtown restaurant, right next door to the Mud Hens' stadium! (In the recently purchased-by-Packo's Swan Creek Candle Shop) They'll be on display until the end of January. :D

Here's what the installed work looks like on site:








This was a really great project, and I had lots of fun working on it!

Sketchbook - Character Silhouettes & Facial Shapes





I apologize for the poor quality of the photos - my scanner finally (after four long years) appears to not be working anymore, so I had to resort to photography.

Assorted facial shape / character shape studies! Heavily referenced from the works of various artists I admire.

"Queen's Heart" - Kane Sketches


An original character of mine who was in desperate need of a design revamp!
