FEATURE ANIMATION

I currently work as a Character Shading and Groom TD at Pixar.  These are the film's I've had the pleasure working on as a TD. I've also had the chance to work as an environment painter on the Pixar Spark short Kitbull.

Here's a selection of my work from my time at Pixar.  I think it's important to caveat that each film is a team effort, and not all elements in each frame are mine.

Backgrounds for Rosie Sullivan's short "Kitbull."  Tim Evatt was production designer, Arjun Rihan was layout DP, Laura Meyer designed the logo, and Rosie also drew the characters in the mural.

CLASH OF CLANS:  LEGENDS OF THE LAST LAVA PUP

I freelanced at Psyop in LA in 2015 as well.  I worked as a Look Development artist on a commercial spot for Clash of Clans.  I primarily textured and shaded set pieces and props using Mari, Zbrush, and Arnold for Maya.  A few of those set pieces include the Townhall, Xbow, Elixir Storage, Inferno Tower, and the background cliffs.

TAKING FLIGHT

I worked on the short "Taking Flight" while a Technical Director intern at Moonbot.  I primarily modeled and shaded on this short.  I was responsible for the "Flight" outfits for Teddy and Tony, which meant I modeled and shaded their hat and goggles, their backpacks, and their gloves.  The very talented Kendra Phillips and Justin Holt worked on the other aspects of each character.  I also modeled and shaded the photo box, Tony's backpack, and shaded the neighborhood street and houses.

THE NUMBERLY'S

I briefly worked on Moonbot's Amazon children's show pilot called The Numberly's.  I was primarily a lighter on this project, but I was also able to model and shade a small vehicle as well.  It helped round out my experience as a TD at the studio.
