Hire me!

You can hire me as an artist, filmmaker, or speaker, bringing a wealth of experience and a unique, hands-on approach to each project. As an artist, I offer a range of creative services, from hand-drawn animation and illustration to interactive public art installations that combine film, sculpture, and projection. My work adds a unique, handcrafted quality to any project, making it both visually striking and emotionally engaging.

As a filmmaker, I specialize in creating narrative films, educational media, and documentaries with a blend of traditional and digital techniques, including 16mm and 35mm film. Whether you're looking for a compelling story, an educational piece, or an artful documentary, I bring a passion for storytelling that is quirky, thoughtful, and memorable.

As a speaker, I deliver engaging talks tailored to audiences of all ages. With a background in both children’s and adult education, my presentations include behind-the-scenes insights into animation, filmmaking, and creative storytelling. From library talks and Q&A sessions to art gallery lectures, I bring along props, artwork, and clips to create a fun, immersive experience that leaves audiences inspired and ready to explore their own creativity.

MOTION PICTURE MAKING!

My film and animation services blend old-school filmmaking with cutting-edge digital techniques. From concept to final cut, I bring my skills as a writer, director, cinematographer, animator and editor to guide your project every step of the way. I'll work with you to shape ideas into a clear vision, craft an authentic script, and handle all the production details—storyboarding, filming, editing, and more. Think of me as a one-man crew who combines traditional filmmaking techniques with modern digital tools to create something truly unique. Wherever you are in the process, I’m here to bring your story to life, start to finish. I offer:

1. Live-Action Film Production – With experience in both 8mm, 16mm, 35mm film, and an array of digital cinema cameras, I bring a nostalgic, tactile quality to my live-action projects, whether they’re narrative films, documentaries, or commercial productions.

2. Handmade Animation – Specializing in unique, hand-crafted animation styles, including hand-drawn cels, stop-motion, paper cutouts, and experimental techniques, I infuse each project with a personal, artisanal touch that stands out from the digital crowd.

3. Digital Animation – Utilizing top animation software, like Toon Boom Harmony, After Effects, and TVPaint, I create clean, dynamic animations for commercials, educational content, and narrative work, adding a modern edge to traditional craftsmanship.

4. Documentaries – I produce insightful, story-driven documentaries, from short profiles of artists and creatives to more in-depth historical pieces. My approach is both artistic and journalistic, with a focus on engaging visuals and immersive storytelling.

My approach is quirky yet professional, blending traditional artistry with modern storytelling to create compelling, unforgettable visual experiences across various media.!

PUBLIC ART & INSTALLATION!

My public art exhibits and installations combine film, animation, sculpture, signs, and murals to create immersive, interactive experiences that engage viewers of all ages. Each exhibit is crafted to transform public spaces—such as the sides of buildings, art galleries, libraries, children’s museums, and even outdoor signs—into vibrant storytelling environments that blend artistry and technology.

I incorporate hand-drawn and hand-painted animations, projections, murals, and physical sculptures, all designed to interact with each unique setting. These installations often explore whimsical, kinetic themes that invite viewers to experience my work on multiple levels, both visually and emotionally. With influences from vintage animation and experimental cinema, my exhibits challenge the traditional boundaries of public art, making it accessible, thought-provoking, and fun.

I also offer talks and Q&A sessions alongside my exhibits, providing behind-the-scenes insights into my creative process, including how I merge animation, sculpture, and large-scale mural work. Through these exhibits, I hope to inspire and engage audiences by creating memorable, dynamic art in everyday spaces.

Ready Set Go On the Road!

My library talks are lively, interactive events that invite audiences to dive into the world of filmmaking, animation, and storytelling. With a blend of humor and hands-on insight, I share my creative process, from the earliest ideas to the finished film. Using examples from The Ready Set Go Picture Show and other works, I guide audiences through storyboarding, animation techniques, character design, and the practical steps of bringing a story to life.

I often bring along props, artwork, and animated segments for a truly immersive experience, showing behind-the-scenes content to illustrate the art and detail that go into each project. For children’s libraries, I tailor the talks to inspire young minds, using fun storytelling and interactive drawing sessions to get kids excited about creating their own art. Each talk wraps up with a Q&A, where I encourage questions and discussions about the art of animation and film, inviting everyone to explore their own creative potential.
