Animation / Music Video

One of my favorite things to do is set visuals to music. This video was created for the band LOVEDOVE back in 2021. The animation style was inspired by classic arcade aesthetics combined with simple 1990s cartooning. Even though the animation itself is rather limited, the video is chock-full of colorful sequences that dance with the tune!

PLEROMA is a personal, adventure-driven animated series that follows the transformation of Atlas Finch, a timid hero who finds himself transported to a mythical land where dreams and stories become reality. PLEROMA was originally a comic strip and was later adapted into animation.

After being visited by an ancient spirit, Atlas is plunged into a world filled with magical creatures and perilous challenges. With the help of his new friends, the fearless Hilda, and the mischievous Plutus, Atlas must find a path back home. Along the way, he discovers a hidden strength within himself and becomes the hero he was always meant to be.

Join Atlas on his epic journey as he learns to conquer his fears and embrace his true destiny. PLEROMA is for audiences of all ages.

Album Cover Art & Design

VIDEOHELPER is an Independent, boutique music library based in New York City. They specialize in attention-grabbing music for short-form media. I have been fortunate to work with them on a handful of projects. Two of the projects, Road Rock and Garaged, were open canvases. The Simplified covers were part of a pre-existing series. I also collaborated on the collections: Beachy Breeze, Sugar Town, and Get the Message.

Digital comic

This strip is a parody of the famous DC comic. It’s a bit raunchy, but all in good fun!

Web Comic/Concept Art

I had the opportunity to pitch a STAR WARS comic concept to IDW. Even though the pitch went nowhere I really enjoyed working on this story and illustrations!

In this story, we follow an older Luke Skywalker to a Sith Lord planet where a dark-sided, blind witch awaits.

Branding / Design

Look Twice: Motorcycle Detail Co. is a brand that launched in 2023 at Daytona Beach Bike Week. The client requested a cartoon mascot that blended the aesthetic of American traditional tattoos, Max Fleischer animations, and 1950s design. The final logo has a retro feel with a contemporary edge. We settled on two versions: a full body, colored illustration, and a B&W badge.

The Jō Life company produces food products that are grain-free, peanut-free, plant-based with an emphasis on great flavor that the whole family can enjoy.
