ABOUT ME: Well, hello there!
I’m a creative that’s open to new open to new opportunities to use my knowledge to help visualize and meet goals, whether it’s a personal project, commercial, or short film.
When it comes to the core of it, I just like drawing and being creative, whether the medium is motion graphics, design, or illustration.

Motion Graphics
The thing I enjoy most about motion graphics is being given the chance to concept from beginning to end, and to allow a theme to carry through the 15-60 second clip. If I could have an opportunity to do a major project, I would love to create an opening sequence for a James Bond film (Casino Royale takes the cake).
Of course my tools include After Effects and Premiere, but on occasion, when 3D animation is required, I’ve tapped into Maya. I’m transitioning to Blender for 3D animation because, well, it’s free.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

Most of my designs are completed in Adobe Illustrator, with a few exceptions for Photoshop, which handles filters and light rendering better while keeping file sizes manageable.
Many of these designs can be seen at my shirt website, shirtsforbandnerds.com.

ILLUSTRATION

I prefer to draw traditionally on paper and with watercolor, but client distance (and double-mindedness) makes working digitally a must. When I work traditionally, I use bristol paper with water color, or “comic” medium weight paper with felt tip pens and markers.

I’ve created comics that I post here on TottoriAwesome.com, and MoreThanTwoChoices.Wordpress.com .

STORYBOARDS

I thoroughly enjoy creating concepts for an idea, honing it, and coming up with new ideas to create a story or theme. Below are a few concepts I created for music videos.
