Below you will find a selection of the work that I've done lately, as well as some older pieces just for fun. Who am I kidding? It's all fun. Hopefully all the fun I had creating this stuff translates into a fun viewing experience for you. Enjoy!

I was feeling particularly festive last year, so I sat down with my Wacom and made this fun little christmas card for my family. I put lots of time into the tiny details in this image, and had a ton of fun doing it. Isn't the little snowman adorable?
As part of Create-a-thon, I donated this design to s Children's Theater company. The kids were so happy with it they all sent us hand-made thank you cards.

I am so proud to be adding this to my portfolio. It was such a great experience working on this, and I really think they're going to do well for themselves.

The result of a conversation concerning the hypothetical tastiness of pig-duck fat.
Eventually, this little guy will brand my very own food blog. I see it as a way to chronicle my tasty travels through Philadelphia, as well as facilitating future conversation regarding delicious abominations.
This is a BigCartel skin I created for Julian Velard to sell his music and merchandise. This is just a link to an image, as the design has been since changed.
When I'm not doing websites and such, I really like 3D design. My work is very much about light and texture.
This is 1 of a series of "Thrones" I started creating after college. It's sort of gross, but I like it. I envisioned the final product as a model, probably 10-12" tall.
Inspired by a scene in the first Chris Nolan Batman reboot. I really liked the image of him as a child looking up from within a well, so I created my own.
I shit you not, people ask me how I got down in the well when I show this to them. That makes me happy.
This swing actually exists in the back yard of my parents house. You can't tell in this image, but it's rigged to swing on the chain and everything. This is another one I'd love to have fabricated as a tiny model.
I have no real good reason for this. I woke up one day and wanted to create dirt. This is by no means a low-poly fakeout. I shaped and placed each of those rock individually. Efficient: no. Fun for me in a strange, CG dork way: yes.
I almost didn't put this up here, but I think it's important if for no other reason than to demonstrate how far I've come. Look at that type! What was I thinking?

The next couple images are part of my senior project, In Memory. It was an abstract narrative tribute to my grandfather. Very art-school. That said, it did look pretty awesome.
This is the last image of the short film. I painted the sky in the background and all of the textures for the project.
This is the beginning of the day portion of the film. This place has been empty for some time, and there's a dirty heap of snow coming through the fireplace. The whole thing was very abstract, and very much about light and texture.
I had this great memory of a gnarly tree in the yard of my childhood home.
Fun fact: I spent a real long time studying snow and the scattering of light within frozen water particles to get the snow looking right. I was mildly obsessed for something like 6 months.
I wanted to skies in my senior project to have an abstract feel to them, and since I can't really paint that well, doing it myself was the perfect solution. This was one of my first real successful attempts to paint in a digital medium. I think I did this in Sketchbook Pro.
I actually like this one better than it's nighttime counterpart. I did the night one first, so naturally I was an expert by the time I got to this one. Now that I'm revisiting these, I do believe I'll be posting a new sky painting sometime soon. We'll see if I do any better.
As part of my 6-month quest to perfect the look of snow in 3D, I created this fun test. I didn't create that model. It's called the Stanford Dragon and it's a standard model for material tests. It's a nifty alternative to the Stanford Teapot. You just learned something… and on the internet no less!
