New work for PCMA Convene’s Annual Salary Survey revealing the delicate balancing act that the industry requires for career longevity. Thank you to the folks at Point Five Design and PCMA for trusting the work I create.

“Rupert” I had picture book plans for this fella’s story, but the industry deemed otherwise. Created as a love letter to what moves us as humans and how we need friends that truly listen.

My micro-short ‘Tangent’ had its world premiere right here in Indiana and I’m humbled. The Victory International Film Festival had an amazing opening night! So many inspirational stories. Thank you for a big night for such a tiny thing.

I recently took my stop-motion workshop to the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators. I share my basic approach to stop-motion. Not a masterclass in animation but more-so a "masterclass" at letting go of expectations. Thanks to Tara Zalewsky and Fred Carlson for the invitation.

In this episode, @rednosestudio.bsky.social pulls back the curtain on how his characters come to life + the lessons he's picked up about staying curious, embracing vulnerability, and never stopping growing as an artist! 🔗 Link to the episode in the comments!

Poster for my newest animation ‘Tangent’ What started out as an experiment, accidentally turned into a short, short animation. A woman and a circle discover a relationship that requires balance, nurturing and letting go. I entered 'Tangent' into a handful of film festivals this summer.

An exercise I used as an ice breaker for the Design International workshop at the UQAM School of Design in Montreal. We each got a black piece of paper and tore it into random shapes. Then in short blocks of time, we were to arrange the shapes into a character.

The purpose was to focus on silhouette and positive and negative space. This doesn't require any rendering, just lots of squinting and paper moving. To help us not think about details and only think about shape. I was intrigued with the result.
