    paper Type 2 Inflammation Animated Commercials

    I had the opportunity to work with a great team put together by Byrd Alley to create a series of animated commercials for a new drug to help people suffering from a list of illnesses related to “type 2 inflammation”. Matt Sutter did the character and background art and I did the animation. In these pieces each illness is personified by a member of an extended family living in the same apartment building. The fun part for me was figuring out how to do various morph animations that pop up in each piece (ie. dumpling -> cringe, flowers -> congestion, pizza -> blob monster).

    paper NPMA "Safety First" Campaign Storyboards

    Here are the storyboards I created for Center City Film and Video’s production of a campaign for the National Pest Management Association. It’s about identifying best practices for protecting your home and family from common pests. Yuck!

    paper Rainy Day Animated Short

    Rainy days can be frustrating. They can steal your joy. Maybe rainy days even make you feel a little bit sick, but they can be beautiful too. What do you do on a rainy day? How do they make you feel?

    This short is an adaptation of a “Birthday Street” comic that I had created.

    paper Dear Rodney Comic Book

    This is the story of two bungling roommates that communicate through passive aggressive, semi-legible notes. Follow Chollie on his misadventures as he fumbles through urban life with and without Rodney.

    Originally written by Cris Trout as a series of posts on Instagram (#DearRodney) and then adapted into a series of online comics by me. The comic book is a reworked version of those early comics (now in color!) with more adaptations of Cris’ scripts. Zany fun abound! Hopefully, you’ve never had roommates like these.
