Busy Busy...

It's been a tremendously busy few months since my last post here. Along with working on a new campaign for the good folks here at DNS Made Easy, I've also been working on this. Little Lucy was born in the middle of August and just recently became 1 month old.

So yeah, no updating as frequently as I should be, but I did want to step away and post some new work while I was thinking about it. Here's an illustration I submitted for review over at TeeFury.com, a website that sells a different user-designed shirt every day. I call it "Cherry Pickin."

A few videos I produced for DNS Made Easy also went live finally. I was pleasantly surprised by the positive feedback we've received from customers, and potential customers alike.

That's all I've got time for for now. I'll post links to more work as it's completed.

Back in the Saddle

Sorry everyone. It has been entirely too long since I've updated this poor blog. I know I've said that in the past, but I'm not certain that I ever let it sit for quite this long.

I suppose an explanation is in order (even though you've most likely deduced it on your own). Last year, around the time of my last blog post, I was working upwards of 80-90 hours a week between 4 different companies both at home and onsite. It was a fairly insane schedule and I'm only too happy to be free of it. My work with the Teaching Company came to a close soon after and I accepted a full time position as Creative Director with Tiggee LLC, branding their company DNS Made Easy. I've been with the company for over a year now and have produced a medley of animated shorts. I still do some freelance work on the side, but Tiggee is the company I work for primarily. The position has challenged me both creatively and professionally, and forced me to work outside my normal workflow a little, but it's been some of the most fun I've had in the field since I started doing this back in 2004.

Below you'll find some examples of work I produced for the company accompanied by a brief description of each piece and cast notes.

The pieces were designed in Illustrator and animated in After Effects. I was responsible for writing and reworking the scripts with edits from the company's president: Casting, directing, recording and editing the voice over: Designing and animating all characters, sets and motion graphics pieces: Also edited the spots and added music and sound effects. The voice-over artists were David Coyne, Nicole Vaka, and myself.
