Freshstock: Season 4

Twitch Studios is the in house production team at Twitch.tv, creating live & post produced original content.

I created this short animated bumper to be used in edits of Twitch Studios productions. To emphasize our broad abilities as a full fledged production team, I applied the familiar phrase “Light, camera, action!” to our beloved Glitch character-logo.

Journey Through Financial Aid

The subject of financial aid is typically a dry, if not intimidating one. UW-Help needed a way to open a dialogue with prospective students that wouldn't scare them away from the idea.

While working for UW Extension I helped them to polish their message, developed visual concepts and art styles, and produced and animated a piece that was attractive and engaging for its audience.

Roche: Beyond the Pill

Roche, an international pharmaceutical research company, needed a fun and exciting way to kick off their Global Digital Summit, a massive industry conference in Switzerland.

Working along side Joel Berroteran at Little Red Robot SF, we developed and produced an animated video highlighting Roche's commitment to progress and innovation.

Role: Story boards, art direction, design/illustration, animation

Directed and Produced at Little Red Robot SF

The Child

My Aug./Sept. submission to "Loop de Loop". The theme was "Childhood". For a while as a kid I was always trying to move stuff with my mind...never quite go it to work...

Cisco : The Phone Booth

I had the pleasure of working with FirstPerson on this fun (mostly) hand animated piece for Cisco. The art direction by Nathan Campbell was fantastic as always, and this project was a lot of fun to work on and a great opportunity to practice hand drawn animation techniques. I was responsible for the the picture frame and elevator scene (0:26 - 0:35), as well as the ending transition of the phone booth (0:49).

Center of Gravity

Just for fun! Some experiments with shapes and movement.

Gearing up for College

While working at UW-Extension, myself and Conor Grebel had the opportunity to create an animation intended to get middle and high school students thinking about College.

We were given lots of creative freedom, and had fun designing, illustrating and animating what turned out to be a fun and successful project.

Google Drive

I had the pleasure of working with the great folks at First Person on this Launch video for Google Drive for Work. It highlights some of the new apps and security features for businesses. It was released to coincide with Google's I/O developer conference 2014.

The Rules of Sheepshead

Wisconsin Public Television approached me to create an animation based on a story from their 'Wisconsin Life' radio program. I selected a segment in which Dave Cieslewicz, former Mayor of Madison, WI, shares his love of sheepshead as part of Wisconsin Life’s look at games.

The Transform Wisconsin Fund

The Transform Wisconsin Fund works toward encouraging healthy lifestyle choices in Wisconsin communities. They approached myself and Conor Grebel looking for a short animated piece to highlight and promote some of their new grant-based initiatives.

Role: design & Illustration

Flexible Degree

Animated video created for the University of Wisconsin System Campuses, intended to introduce and explain the basic concepts behind the new Flexible Degree program.

Role: Design & Illustration, Animation

Refill Wizard

Promotional video for HealthFinch Inc. promoting their new prescription refill management software, "Refill Wizard" to doctors and medical professionals.

The video was a prominent feature in HealthFinch's presentation at the 2013  Allscripts Open App Challenge , where they took first place and were awarded $250,000.

Role: design & illustration, animation

Uhh Yeah Dude

Prints

A selection of prints designed and hand screen printed as part of Animal Canon, a design and print collaboration.

Double Ewes

Sidewalk Chalk

CD packaging, logo, and shirt graphic developed for Chicago based hip-hop, jazz-fusion band Sidewalk Chalk.

Woodland Spirits

Large scale sculpture-painting installations, placed throughout the grounds of the Rock County Folk Symposium, a small scale music festival held along the Rock River in Wisconsin.

Each canvas was hand build from salvaged and donated wood, and painted with a mystical, musical woodland spirit animal.

Meltosaurus

A fun exercise in digital painting techniques, taking the many drawings filling my sketchbooks and push them into more realized illustrations. More to come...

Monsters!

Rock County Folk Symposium

The Rock County Folk Symposium is a small scale indie music festival held along the Rock River in Janesville, WI.

The festival is a celebration of local music, friendship, and nature. The festivals founder and host, a musician and farmer, graciously provides an ample supply of his signature crop, roasted sweet corn.

Alternate Endings

Submission for the "Alternate Endings" poster show, organized by Silver Screen Society. Artists were asked to conceive and illustrate an alternate ending to a film.

I chose the classic "King Kong", depicting Kong enjoying New York as a happy tourist, rather than plummeting to his death from the Empire State Building.

Silver Screen Society

My submission to Silver Screen Society, an illustration blog that asks artists to create a piece relating to different film each month.

I was assigned "Requiem for a Dream", and chose to reference the mother character and her psychological unraveling that begins with her obsession with television.
