Pieces from a storyboarding project for class.

I’m not going lie. This was very, very, very FUN.

I wasn’t born in the 80s but I was raised on Spielberg, John Hughes, Devo, the Cars, and Duran Duran. I think I have good a good handle on the source material.

Despite that, I did do my share of research for making Elwood’s room look like an authentic 80s boy’s bedroom. That meant looking up screencaps of kid’s bedrooms from E.T., Close Encounters, Adventures in Babysitting, The Goonies, and the opening of Princess Bride (That kid’s room is packed with great material!). Not to mention the crazy research on 80s toys using forums and ebay (You won’t believe how much people are selling those things for!)

So yea, blah blah blah I did the research. 

BUT the most exciting part about designing this room was how much of myselfI put in this thing. When I was a kid born in 91, I never had all the cool crap that kids in the movies had. I mostly had cheap 99 cent knockoffs and a few lucky finds from Goodwill. The spirit of this piece involved harnessing my inner kid to discover what Elwood and I would have in our dream room. We both share an interest in sci-fi, music, junk food, and airplanes. I’d imagine we’d both have the same room upkeep. 

So here’s to bringing out your inner child and letting him or her inspire your work. *raises imaginary glass of rootbeer*

Francis is as hip as hip can be. He’s Elwood’s best bro for life. The two bonded over music and would marathon through Twilight Zone re-runs on the tele after school. His favorite thing in the world is his walkman and Michael Jackson’s Thriller. 

If I where to cast him, I’d most definitely choose Caleb McLaughlin, also from Stranger Things. 

It starts with a simple idea with a bunch of scribbles. A boy, his older brother, and his best friend meet a mystical creature in the woods. 

And then it takes a little self reflection. What was it like roaming the woods with a youthful mind overflowing imagination and a heart glowing with wonder? What experiences can I draw from my own boyhood (which feels like many years ago) that can inspire their journey? 

And most important of all: What do I want you to feel?

Excited to announce that @jchanartsand I will have a table at CTNx2016 Come swing by and say hello!

Bidoof’s Big Stand? More like I’m Bidoof’s Big Stan. 

lil storyboard comic to celebrate the release of the short and all the hard work our team did!!!

Please watch Bidoof’s Big Stand, storyboarded by ME and @TheFantasticIan, on Pokemon’s official YouTube channel.

A few of my favorite drawings compared to Taiko’s beautiful animation. I can’t believe they let us board an official Pokemon cartoon, I can die happy now.

I got to help out a bit on Monkie Kid season 2! Getting to do some super goofy anime boards was a bright spot in the dark that was the summer of 2020.

this is also the first time I’ve ever had to edit my own boards at all so pwease be nice to me. You can find more of my professional work on my WEBSITE

I forgot to post this, but here’s my leica reel for class last semester with the theme: It Wasn’t Me, or, You Only Live Twice. A love story that transcends life and death.
