These two drawings were inspired by nostalgia and the recent release of the Ghostbusters Video Game. If you haven't played it, I pity you.

Here it is! I finally updated my old website, which wasn't working in some browsers. I also bought a domain name! It's all together and working right now, but I plan to add and polish in the following months.

Jinja The Gingerbread Ninja
Here is an animation that I'm working on, but it is currently only in its animatic phase. It's based off of a poem/song by my brother Matt, and his friend Rebecca. It's about a gingerbread ninja who's peaceful mountain home is invaded by plundering sugar cookie pirates. The music is by Blaine Davis.
Games for WiseWorld
I work for a company called WiseHealth, Inc. They have a website called Wisenhimer.com it's an online playground for kids where you have your own avatar, a treehouse that you can decorate, and a Town Center to walk around, chat with other people, and play games in. However, most of my work cannot be seen on the homepage. (Except for the VIDEO TOUR that was a collaborative effort between myself, my coworker and college friend Dave Poyner, and my college roomate Brad Davis) Most of my work is in WiseWorld, the home of the treehouse and town center. Each building in the town center can be "entered" where you move to a front view of the building and click on the door to see what games they have to offer. I enlisted the help of my friend Blaine Davis to make music and sound effects for these game UI's.

Video Project
Well, it sure has been a long time since I posted anything. Time to get things back on track.
Last spring my friend Chris English, who was taking a video class at Anne Arundel Community College, and I made a video called "Disconnected." It's about a guy who gets so wrapped up in his daily work routine and spends so much time in front of a computer, that by the time he realizes he needs to get out, his routine won't let him.
The first half is the lead up showing his routine:
Part I
The second half is his fight to escape:
(Our favorite part, if you're only going to watch one, watch this one)
Part II

New Website?
Here is the home page for my new website I'm working on.
Each little character or thing would be a link to a part of the site.
(i.e. the fossil is a link to my Illustration portfolio, the toxic waste
barrel is a link to my Graphic Design portfolio)

The Fight For Green Technology
This is the piece I created for this year's Providence Street
Painting Festival. That's a misleading name though, because
nothing was painted. It was all done in pastels.

'One' Cover
"One" is a graphic novel about Jonathan Greene, a wealthy CEO of a global oil company called Globoil. He has recently started construction of an Artic Pipeline, that will surely ruin the artic's delicate ecosystem. In a staff meeting about the pipeline, Jonathan is surprised by a strange woman preaching of death and destruction by his hand. After she is promptly escorted from the meeting room, he is surprised to find her in his office only moments later. It turns out that this woman is Gaia, the Spirit of the Earth (aka: Mother Nature). She takes Jonathan on a trip through time and space to see just what damage his wheeling and dealing has done, and will do to the fabric of our planet and society. Jonathan is reluctant to realize that he is helping to cause such mayhem. Gaia, hanging by her last nerve, plunges Jonathan 50 years into the future, where the toxic environment and mankind's crumbled, war-torn civilizations are finally wiped clean by Mother Nature's fury. In the aftermath, Jonathan pledges to change his ways to try and prevent the dismal future humanity will bring upon itself. When he wakes up back in his office, Jonathan convinces himself that it was all a dream, and goes right back to being the ignorant, money-driven man he's always been. That night, Gaia cracks open the ice underneath Jonathan's pipeline and swallows it whole into the depths of the Earth. Upon seeing the news the next morning, and an image of the woman he thought was only in his "dream" at the scene of the collapse, Jonathan breaks down. He again swears to change his ways. Is he lying again? is it too late? Only time will tell.
