uSamp!

Another great project I illustrated, storyboarded, and helped direct with Lilach Tfilin as animator and Jen Zug writing...very fun approach and a unique style.  The clients were great to work with, and this has quickly become one of favorites!

BroadCause

Our client Experience came to us with the BroadCause project and a very open mind to creating this one minute animation; they always gave excellent feedback and were hand in hand with us during the production.  This was the first of many projects to come working with Linda Spain, a superb animator in every way.  She really brought this to life and added lots of subtle animations to make it special.  Jen Zug doing the spot on writing as usual, and myself in the usual "art director" role as illustrator and storyboard artist.

This lovely gem of a project was one of my most enjoyable yet!  The client was located in Israel, and they were a real great crew to bounce ideas and get feedback from.  Our animator we worked with on this was also (coincidentally) located in Israel; her name is Lilach Tfilin, and was one of the most easy, talented, and creative animators I've worked with.  She helped create our vision in the script/storyboard into a real clean and professional piece.  As always, our creative director Jen Zug wrote this!

Here are some early conceptual designs of our "chap"; my wife Yas even helped on sketching some out!  :)

Work In Progress

Something coming very soon...I illustrated and storyboarded this for a client of ours at lilipip! and it's currently being animated. Very excited watching it come to life!



Kontiki!

Another great client, fun project, and really simple but interesting art direction.  Kontiki Enterprise Video Solutions; this was a really fun opportunity to work with Alex Budovsky, a really talented animator who's style of animation is very inspirational.

Korrio!

One of our latest works for Seattle based youth sports automation; Korrio!  A great piece that I designed, storyboarded, and helped execute with the great animator Dan Johnson, a good friend and fellow Portland artist.

White Pages: Hiya

One of the nicest projects we've worked, and with a huge launch today: White Pages Hiya was extremely fun to be a part of.  I got the amazing privaledge to work with Jen Zug as creative director and my good friend and animator James Sugrue.

Slums

An old project from my Art Institute days; the concept here is a city slum looking upwards towards the aristocracy above (in three variants: grayscale, night, and dawn).  Very rough, and not sure if I'll ever get back to finishing it; still very inspirational to me!

Coming Soon...

Just some sketches for something spectacular coming soon!

Recent Work...

Some recent work at lilipip! for a great client: Agendize.  As art director i'm in charge of design, storyboards, and directing the animation.

Character Sketches - Random!

There is a pretty obvious theme of kids and shapes, and I am super happy with this bunch!

"Adobe eLearning Suite 2"

Worked on this lovely project with the team at lilipip!  I designed the character, BG elements, storyboards, directed the movements and all!  Worked with a great animator, Alphonso Orozco.  Check the video out at the link below!

This baby was nothing but fun to work on...I love, love, LOVE the art direction I went with in terms of character design and color.  To animate these beauties I was working with fellow Art Institute alumni Bill Cass (Ai Seattle).  Bill knocked this one out of the park, and I couldn't be more pleased with how it came out.  Much thanks and love to the team at lilipip! as always!
