Previous work on BadCheeze

Check out some of my backgrounds from the show Bad Cheeze. This was one of the last projects I worked on at DUCK Studios. I worked as the Art Director, Layout Artist, BG Painter and Character Designer... Pretty Crazy!

Serendipity

My wife told me she would love to scuba dive and explore an underwater library. We really need to go on another dive soon!

Craftsman Style House BG Painting

I've always loved the Craftsman style homes. I thought that it would be fun to paint one as if it were in an animation.

Boston Library 1898: Start of the Main Stair

I found an old black and white image of the Boston Library circa 1898 and thought it would be fun to use a a layout to paint.

Doorway: Day/Night

Orb

Entropy Inverted

This was a series that I made roughly 10 years ago. I built all of the miniature sets. All of the lighting FX were done practically using a long exposure and "painting" with light while the shutter was left open. This series of photos actually got me my first background painting job.

Nativity Art Work for Christmas Service

I was asked to design and paint five 4'x6' canvases for each of the Sunday School Christmas Services at our church. Each service had a 12 minute block of time for live painting. I started a week before the services designing the image in photoshop and painting the back and mid grounds on the canvases. I spent the 12 minutes during the services painting the silhouettes. It wasn't a very complicated painting, but I was told that the kids were mesmerized watching me paint.

Lunch Time Water Color Paintings

I've been taking my hour lunch break to paint locations around Glendale... and sometimes not Glendale.

Digital Speed Paintings

Recent McDonald's Happy Meal Commercials

Ant vs Octopus Commercial

Ferris Ceili Commercial

My job included Art Director, FX Artist, Lead Compositor and TD on the latest round of Happy Meal Commercials. Not featured here, is the Goat "Hoover" spot.

TiVo Spot

TiVo "Duct Tape" Commercial

I worked on some roto and cleanup of the various takes of the devices being thrown on top of each other and the transition between the spinning 3D TiVo and the live-action TiVo.

This is a compilation of most of the characters/projects I've had a chance to work with while at DUCK Studios. It's been a great 3 years so far.

HUD and Interface Designs

Generic HUD and interface designs that I created for fun.

Poopy and Pistachio

This is Poopy and his dog Pistachio. Poopy is a Golden Poo. He rides around on a flying octopus named Hugs. This is a show pitch idea I came up with based on Zhou Leis sketch of the Golden Poo. To get things started I'm planning to make a children's book to send to all of our kids in China, and maybe a few extra for some of our friend's kids that have spent hours talking with me about Poopy.
