About

  • WHO I AM -

    • I’ve been an ANIMATOR, BACKGROUND and PROP DESIGNER, ILLUSTRATOR, STORYBOARD ARTIST, SCREENWRITER and now GRAPHIC NOVELIST for a decade or two for COLOSSAL PICTURES, WILD BRAIN ANIMATION in San Francisco, as well as for my own creative endeavors.

    • In my ANIMATION and ILLUSTRATION career I’ve had to switch styles on a daily basis, which makes me highly adaptable to my client’s needs, and my own creative growth.

    • I’ve written SCI-FI, HORROR, DARK COMEDY, and CHILDREN’S SCREENPLAYS in a myriad of genres for myself and clients, so I’m no stranger to switching styles and researching for whatever the job entails.

  • WHAT I LOVE -

    • My personal work is RENO GABRIEL, a NOIR-HORROR-FANTASY that began a while back, a cumulation of my love of HISTORY, the PARANORMAL, NOIR and HORROR FILMS, Since then it’s expanded to 40 or so other STORIES, other spin-off WORLDS, with a hundred or so CHARACTERS, all with individual MOTIVES, ARCS, and HISTORIES. I do this effortlessly.

  • AS I CAN DO FOR YOU -

    • I chose WORLDBUILDER because it’s the best description of what I’ve been doing nearly all my life. Creating fantastic WORLDS with fun CHARACTERS and full HISTORIES. ARC’s and TWISTS and HEROES and VILLAINS and all of that. Effortlessly. I can do this, use my talents, for your GAME, your SCREENPLAY, your SERIES…

    • Given the rules of your PROJECT, your WORLD, and I can expand it, create new CHARACTERS and new DIRECTIONS within it. Effortlessly.

    • Thank you for your time. - A.
