Last week I had the honor of giving a talk at Pixar! Titled "The Versatile Artist: Crafting the Image from Idea to Final Render" it explored my journey highlighting the benefits of experimenting across disciplines.
It was a true career highlight, I had an absolute blast!

I have a new action / body mechanics reel! 💥 👊 🏃
I made it to complement my main animation reel, that is more focused on character acting. 🎭
Featuring work from Blue Sky Studios, MPC, Dneg, and Nice Gang.
Hard to believe that 2 of these are gone!

One of my favorite (and challenging) shots I animated on Ice Age. Of course it's a Scrat one! It was done back at Blue Sky Studios. I can't believe it was almost 10 years ago... I miss that little rodent! 🌰🐿️

It took a little while to animate all these plants and shrooms but now I find it very satisfying to walk through them! 🌱

The full teaser I made for Eighth Era's PVP!
I had a blast working on this. Something I love about working in a small indie game studio like Nice Gang is that everyone has a lot of creative control, and in this case I got to do pretty much the whole cinematic! ✨
