Meredith Bowen at Capital Business / Washington Post assigned this one. It was my first time working with her, and when asked how she came across my work she mentioned Drawger.  A big thanks to Meredith for the project, who was great to collaborate with!
 
The article was about: "...focus on the company’s evolution – how the algorithm that inputs all of these things and spits out a steady stream of useable information and trends..."  Seems like a critter that is yearning to be animated.

Here is a piece for Wall Street Journal on 2-18-13, for an article about how the auto industry continues to be doing well. I always liked drawing cars as a kid, so it's fun to still be doing it as an adult. The lower version with the pink sky was sent as an alternate color scheme. The red car was what they ended up using.
 
Thanks to Christine Silver, Daniel Smith and Jon Pillet for their help with this.

I have been incorporating more MOTION DESIGN + FILM TITLES into my animation work, which has been a lot of fun. This reel includes some corporate / clean graphics, which I've had a hard time fitting into a reel (and was hesitant to post on Drawger).  Many thanks to Maxwell Vann for allowing me to use his music as a backdrop to this reel. He is a great musician with an incredibly diverse body of work.
I am also fortunate to be teaching Animation in the Illustration Dept. at PARSONS. I've got a great group of students and am excited to see what they do.
As for me (as a student), Cinema 4D is something I'm immersed in learning now, so I should be able to show some of that work in the near future. Learning a new "non Adobe" software gives me appreciation for what I'm guessing my students feel when I show them After Effects, and it looks completely foreign and overwhelming to them.

Kevin Davis, a friend of mine, is a co-founder of a photo-sharing app startup called RAWPORTER. I was asked to help with re-branding the app icon (not done yet)... in the meantime, there is the CES tech conference going on in Las Vegas now, and they needed a "HOW IT WORKS" video quickly. This was hammered out in 2 or 3 days. Kevin, Rob and Michael (the three co-founders) worked out a script, and Kevin did the VO on the fly. They sent me the VO and put me to work. The video is a rough cut, but at least they had something to have with them in Vegas that helped explain the concept.  More to come later, including a new app icon (similar style to the video).
