Light at the end of the tunnel!

The fall semester is almost over, I can't believe how fast time goes by!  Here are a few concept pieces I've done for class.  This is going to be a short film project,  hopefully we will jump into production next semester.

Painting studies

Here are some of the most successful studies I've done over the past few weeks.  These exercises are definitely improving my painting - there is so much to be learned from observational painting that I feel like it is something we need to do on a daily basis.

Back from CTN!

CTN was such an incredible experience.  I was fortunate enough to be picked to showcase my work at the Disney Sponsored table!   It was such an amazing opportunity to meet new people, and to share my work with the rest of the convention.

I have made a lot of new friends, and have met such incredible artists!  There is so much talent out there - I am really lucky to be a part of this community.   It feels really great to see the hard work pay off.  I want to thank everyone who stopped by to say hello, and all of my friends who helped me organize my table!

 I always leave the convention feeling inspired, and ready to work!  See you next year!

Some Stuff

I am currently taking a class at Animation Collaborative with the master Dice Tsutsumi.  It's an incredibly humbling experience, and I'm really fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from one of the best!

One of the weekly painting exercises Dice assigns us.  This was painted over a layout drawing from Spirited Away.

We are just getting into the main project for the course, which is to create a color script for Where the Wild Things Are. 

 

First Senior Project!

Hey Everyone,

We just wrapped our first assignment in the BFA class.  The project was to develop concept work for a video game about Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla.   We were lucky enough to have the amazingly talented Dela Longfish, and Jeff Sengali direct our first assignment.  It was a great opportunity to learn from these guys, and get their feedback on our work.

I recently updated my website with the rest of the artwork; so check it out if you are interested!

Haven't updated in a while!

Hey everyone,

I have been really busy the past few weeks, and have unfortunately neglected my blog haha.  I'm feeling a little burnt out, but I also think that I'm slowly improving as an artist - at least I hope so.

Here are a few studies that I've done the past few days.  The last painting is from a Spirited Away layout, which was done as a painting exercise.
