My Work
IMG_1640 2.jpeg

As an animator working in a style that is a mixture of Rubber Hose and CalArts (think Felix the Cat or Gravity Falls). I imagine characters and worlds based on concepts that strike me when I listen to and watch a variety of media.

 

In my art pieces, I try to add elements from my childhood and other sources that inspire the moods and themes I use, with themes of connectivity, loneliness, and struggle, with a touch of cinematic feeling. I use vibrant primary colors to illustrate these drawings. Then I get into drawing a quick sketch to figure out what the piece is. Stick figures help with figuring out where the characters are placed but also with trying to image it from a filmic point of view.

​

I blend playful visuals with deeper themes, using simple designs and vibrant colors to evoke an emotional connection with the audience. This is the path I want to go forward with and push these themes to help people feel connected through the art of animation.
