Pie Thieves Logo and Bumper

This is the logo and the bumper for the production company "Pie Thieves". I did the design and animation, and Scott C. Leeds did the music and effects.

It went through a few different versions before it became a 1930's cartoon fox and dog stealing a pie. At first it was a couple of charming Norman Rockwell-esque hoboes, followed by mischievous turn-of-the-century gentlemen, followed by a 1960's cartoon fox and dog.

Undeniably, The Best Way To Eat A Pop-Tart

The first of another series of comics I've decided to start. I drew the original sketches 3 months ago, got a really bad stomach flu, and just finished the color version tonight. The original sketches and the photoshop guide I made are below.

The Velvet Mouse Show character redesign

These are some redesigned versions of the main 4 characters from The Velvet Mouse Show. The Original versions were designed to be reminiscent of 1970's Hanna-Barbera and Filmation cartoons. These designs are much closer to what a consider my own style of depiction. If you've never seen the original character designs, you can check them out here.

Preliminary sketches.

Childhood Tweets 001

Here's my latest bit of animation. It's the first of a possible series of very brief animated shorts. Basically, I take any tweet with the "#childhood" label, and make a little scene out of it. Scott C. Leeds then scores it and it's done. The plan is to make them as quick as possible. This one took - i don't know - maybe 3 days? I'm not entirely sure.

Here are a couple of pre-production sketches.
