Update!

Just thought I'd let you peak into the madness that is my life. Fanfoto has finished and my contract work has been flat lined for a bit.... so I've been doing other animation stuff. For instance!


Started to mess around with some effects in Maya





Then I modeled my castle coriddor! This is not the lighting that I will be using but I figure I might as well light it to make it look semi-ok. The sconces will have fire, the grass will be blended in to the ground better. There will be an epic wizard fight with effects flying all over the place. I will have to design 2 characters to blend with my environment. It is kind of difficult seeing as my character design and environment style are drastically different so we shall see how it works out. So far it's been a fun project and I've learned a lot making it.

You can always start following my vimeo or twitter!!!

Now I must Texture!

Film Festival!


I'm proud to announce that the hard work of my awesome Animation Production Studio class from Columbia College has been awarded by being accepted into our first Film Festival! The film "Suds" will be screened at the 6th Annual LA International Children's Film Festival. Sadly I don't think any of us can make it to LA to see it.

In other news! On Saturday I leave for the big city of Cincinnati to Fanfoto it up at the playoffs game of Reds vs. the Phillies. After today's no hitter, it makes me worry that the Reds will not be going far and my season will end on Sunday. It should be a fun trip though!

Also since the White Sox and Cubs baseball season has end, I suddenly have a ton of free time to work on animation again. I followed a quick tutorial a couple days ago and this is what I got.




Now I am currently working on my wizard dueling project, also starting a project with ninja's and hopefully my group of lady friends will be producing our very own short very soon! Especially since I live with one of them! (Did I mention I live in the city now?! It RAWKS!)


After the recent string of suicides in the LGBT community I have to remind everyone that Hope is Alive. TWLOHA is a great organization. I am always there if you need me, call me anytime and I will be there. You are never alone. Depression is real and there is hope! You can get through it, don't do it alone, reach out! DREAM BIG! GO BIG! Strength Hope and Love
