For Shark Week

For Wednesday, the frill shark. They kind of look like a cross between a moray eel and a newt.

Todays's shark is: the Zebra Shark. It's the primary prey of the lion shark.

My New Reel

I just put together my new reels The one here is a thirty-second quick reel. I have a longer reel with more acting bits on it, but I can't post it yet since it has clips from shows that haven't aired yet. If you're interested in hiring me I can show you that reel on an individual basis.

2009 Sketchcrawl #22

I participated in the sketchcrawl in LA this last Saturday.  I've been meaning to do it for awhile but this was the first one I actually managed to attend.  It was a lot of fun.  I really enjoyed meeting other artists and talked to a lot of really cool people.  I feel like I didn't get that many actual drawings done, but it was a great experience anyways, and I hope to attend the next one.  Anyways, check it out:

Flash Backgrounds

One of my current freelance gigs right now is working on a trailer as part of a pitch for someone. These are some of the backgrounds for it. They were all drawn directly in Flash. It's little frustrating because I know I could get the textures and subtlety I was going for in Photoshop, but I'm wanting to keep this entire project in Flash to keep it simple. I know all of my designer friends could have turned out something more interesting in their sleep, but these are important milestones for me, and I'm learning a lot about drawing and coloring in Flash. So there.

Steam-powered Gorilla

I don't consider myself much of a designer, but I did this character as a logo/mascot for a website my sister is working on. It's all done in flash. The character is jointed so he could be animated eventually. At some point I plan to do a complete turn-around for him. The website is Tin Ape at tinape.com.
