Traditional Animator working in film, television, and games.

Around the middle of last year I started running a weekly zoom drawing session for our team at work, to try and break up the monotony of quarantine work-life, and keep everyone connected. We’ve been doing it regularly ever since, and each week, one of us takes on the task of curating a photoset around a specific theme. It’s been a ton of fun, and incredibly inspiring to learn from and hang out with our coworkers at a time when we desperately need more personal interaction. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKiUyqGj4yp/?igshid=1nrwmz72wykqu

These are some of the shots I animated at Duncan Studio for the hand-drawn sequence in Mary Poppins Returns.

Some shots I animated a few years ago for a project that never saw the light of day :(

Sit/Stand Animation Desk

I decided to start the new year with an upgrade to my animation desk. I had been working standing up for the last couple of years, and it's been great for my back and shoulders, but sometimes it's nice to have the option to sit down from time to time! so I built this "Sit to Stand" desk with motorized legs from Autonomous. It took about 2 weeks overall for the entire build.

Excited to be taking part in this upcoming group show at @sketchpadgallery - Show opens on Sat Feb. 11th, 4pm to 8pm

Did this to welcome my new students to their first day of online classes ;)
