Kickin’ Mule

This is a shot from an animation film that celebrates the old time music of Frank Lee and Adam Tanner. I was inspired by cutout silhouette animation and the quilt tradition of the Appalachian region. Frank and Adam have several other traditional fiddle and banjo tunes that I would like to further explore with other animation methods, traditional and modern.

This is a film project that I contributed 3D models and animation for the Auklet. This was part of a grant to help inform and shed light on the sea birds of the pacific. It is currently being screened at the San Francisco Aquarium of the Bay

Political Animations

In addition to my political cartoons I am now producing animations based on current events. Though things come and go real fast so animation has to be timely and you have to be willing to spend more hours and less payoff if a subject material has passed its freshness date. I was a few days late with the Egyptian uprising, but I hope this has captured the mood and sentiment in Egypt…

Happy Holidays

This is an animated video I did as part of CNN’s 12 days of Christmas. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. For some reason, animation and holidays go together pretty naturally. Maybe because there are not too many partridges in pear trees in the real world. My colleague Bruno DeGazio did the music and we both sang (very badly) in his recording studio.
