I’m working on a live motion/animated music video for Brave Julius, it was shot at the historic Whiteside theatre in Corvallis, OR. We launched a kickstarter campaign to fund video production and put together a show for the video’s premiere at the Whiteside theatre. Help us out, thanks! http://kck.st/VbuWxQ

Pop up
I’ve been wanting to do a pop up book or card for a while, it took a few attempts to get it right, here’s the end result. It’s part of the collaborative sketchbook project I’ve been working on with Jon MacNair.

Moleskin project
Here are before & after spreads from the ongoing collaborative sketchbook project with Jon MacNair: I’ve been working with color in every single page so far, decided to keep this one black & white and not worry too much about composition or content, just pick up a brush, draw and see what happens.

On the opposite page I drew a study of a self portrait by Alexander Calder, can’t wait to see what...

Collaborative sketchbook project with Jon MacNair
A few months ago Jon MacNair & I decided to collaborate on a project, Jon came up with the idea of trading sketchbooks. He sent a moleskin with some drawings and paintings in it and I finally got a chance to add some drawings and painting of my own to the sketchbook he sent me.

Oregon Home magazine
I did some illustrations for Oregon Home magazine for an article that tries to define what the Oregon home style is, it was an interesting challenge. I tried to capture some of the attributes of the Pacific Northwest aesthetic in the illustrations. Jon Taylor Carter the art director sent me some keywords and ideas that sparked lots of images in my mind: the temporary-ness of the home, culture of...
