Art + Design

“Trying to be aware of why I succeed one day and fail the next”

My background as an interactive editor in the news industry has given me a comprehensive editorial view of my projects. I typically take a strong team role in all aspects such as defining business goals, storyboarding, designing, editing, testing, animating, and often voicing as well. I strive for storytelling that is sharp, concise, and friendly.

Ive been flat out much of the week with back strain. Poor dogs havent been getting walks. But I did get them out this evening. Cody was still staring at me when I sat back down at my desk. He really wanted something. Realized he just wanted the blue mat so he could lay at my feet and model for a little 3x2 watercolor. Dogs are the best.

Dad is a great storyteller. When my siblings and I were little, he would make up a bed time story when we went camping. It was always about the 3 little curly-tailed protagonists, Eeny, Meeny, and Moe, who would become horribly ensnared by their nemesis, the Big Bad Wolf. But just when their bacon was cooked, Dick Tracy would kick in the door and save the day. I thought the series deserved a poster so I made this a few years ago for dads 90th. I keep a print on my bulletin board over my desk. I think its my favorite thing I ever designed.
