Hello loyal (and new) followers!! I just wanted to say that because of all you wonderful people who keep coming back and checking my blog out, I have almost reached 4,000!!!! page views. Also, I have almost made 100 posts!!! Pretty cool if I say so :)

Anyway in humble gratitude and appreciation, I wanted to make a doodle just for all of you!

There it is! A pig! Enjoy and thanks for following along!!!!!

Craig McCracken and Genndy Tartakovsky are two brilliantly creative and uniquely original artists and film makers. The work that these two are responsible for is astounding and loved by millions worldwide. I particularly love their line art, in particular the line quality and overall gesture they tend to capture in their work.
In an attempt to create something that attempts to emulate their style, while maintaining my own personal style and artistic direction, I give you the following. This little guy was a blast to draw and, as you can see, I got carried away with a pop art-esque tribute to Mr. Warhol himself.

Here's a picture of my cat Ben and me. He's awesome. That's pretty much it.

I have finally made a demo reel! Its been a long time coming to say the least.  I think my own personal insecurities of thinking I wasn't "good enough" or ready had kept me from putting myself and my work out there.  However, I must say, it feels so good to have made one, and I'm so excited about it and look forward to adding more work to it!

I also plan on making a 2D reel as well. For now, I have much more 3D work than hand drawn. Keep an eye out for it!!
