Sketches 2020



Sometimes I'm on a drawing frenzy and a ton of the sketches don't end up looking like the project I'm working on. LOL so I started a little collection of these :'D

Woodbury Lecture Set 4/4

   Set 4/4 from my Woodbury University Gesture Lectures.
1-3 min drawings

The stools and chairs did a tremendous job posing as horses. (/bulls 🤪)

 

   




Woodbury Lecture Set 3/4



With the one and only Toni Sky 
April 2019
The elegance of her poses are always a pleasure to try and capture. The first pose reminded me so much of Mary Magdalene, lol and at the moment I thought I should add a cat in there. There are a lot more, didn't want to crowd the place.

Lightbox Expo 2019

  
Super honored to be sponsored for a table by Sony Animation at the first Lightbox Expo this year. I had a terrific time meeting so many talented artists who came to say hi and shared a few moments with me. Thanks to everyone who stopped by! Thanks again to Sony Animation and to Bobby Chiu and his team!



Duncan Studio

It has been such an honor and an amazing and humbling experience working for Duncan Studio on my first feature and learning from animation giants Ken Duncan, Sandro Cluezo and Chris Sauve..





Woodbury Gesture Lecture - Set 1 of 4

A few months back, I got to teach a Character Design and Gesture Class at Woodbury University in Burbank. :D Gosh did I have a great time! I always loved teaching! This was special as it was my first in-house teaching experience..The class was pretty small as it was a last minute arrangement but the students were super cheerful and really wanted to learn.. We went through as much as we could from illustrators from way back to 30s Disney to 50's Disney to Hans Bacher to European animation to all the new designers out here. Every class we would also break down a short film as well. On top of that we got to draw these fantastic models every week like this one here, I think her name is Parker McPhinney (super sorry if I'm wrong) who would pretend to be on a horse for a minute or more with her legs in mid-air and stay completely stationary.

Most of these are 30 seconds to 3 minutes..

Character Design Instructor at Woodbury University


I had such a blast teaching a Character Design and Gesture Drawing/clothed figure class at Woodbury University last semester. I got to meet some of the nicest people and we truly had a fantastic time breaking down characters, feature films, short films, figure drawing, going through design principles and acting, everything animation!

The Flintstones 2098 A.D.


And Ooops! They were right... Time was a loop. The Flintstones will return.
I'm usually very particular about avoiding characters that are already out there, but I just couldn't give up this idea.

Story Artist @ Warner Bros. Animation

That was an awesome chapter in my life this year, working on the awesome awesome series 'Green Eggs and Ham' Season 2 for Netflix based on Dr. Seuss's book of the same name. I can't say how lucky I was to be on the production, thanks so much to Cody Cameron, Robin Joseph, and Miles Thompson for taking a chance on me. I had some of the most fun I have ever had, working on story, throwing in so many ideas that I truly surprised myself.. hopefully I did justice to the show :)




The story artists were really given a lot of freedom to go off-script and bring as many original ideas to the table and it was a truly wonderful time boarding and breaking the script down, into pieces and putting it back together. The show is being produced by Ellen DeGeneres and Season 1 is expected to be released in a few months! Can't wait.
