Here Is a piece Inspired by a song of the Band Hello Seahorse! the song is called "El Oso Polar" meaning "the polar bear" In english. The song talks about a polar bear who starts to cry after these little kids aren't playing or getting near him.

Title Design Pitch

So over the summer I had the chance to do some designs for an animated title opening on a new primetime television show and network. Unfortunately the network decided not to go with an animated title, and did a more boring photo collage version. I wasn't allowed to put the name of the show or the cast, but It should be pretty obvious what show it is. Its currently airing. The time frame they gave me was really tight, other wise I would of noodled with them some more. But It was one of the funnest projects I got to work on so far.

Landscape Painting

So A few months back I took a Gouache landscape painting Class, with the amazing Andrew Hem! here are a few Paintings, and Moleskin Studies.

Microsoft Christmas BG's

So for the past few months I have been working as a background Designer and Painter, at Six Point Harness Studios In Hollywood!! Working here has given me the opportunity to work on alot of different and amazing projects. These are a few backgrounds I did for a Microsoft project. These are up In Display at any Microsoft Store near you for the Holidays. I did about 10 of these, all panoramic BG's that connect with each other, and create a very long continuous pan of holiday animations. I believe they circle a good portion of the stores. Also my friend Skudder helped out with some of the Lighting effects and some last minute gradients and touch ups. He was also one of the Directors alongside with my other friend Zack.
