January 2013 Illustration Update

Here are some of the things I've been working on lately (click on images for a larger view):

First up are a couple of concept images for a series of mini-games I was brainstorming that would teach people about managing stress in the workplace.  Here is the home screen--the messy desk of a stressed-out employee:

If you clicked on an icon, such as the laptop, you would then be taken to a sub-page for that object which contained mini-games or other activities.  For instance, the laptop would have a series of videos that showed the warning signs of stress.  By watching the videos, you would replenish the low battery on the laptop:

I've also been experimenting with some other design styles.  Here's one that I quite enjoyed, very much based in Eastern European animation of the late 50's, early 60's (specifically, "Inspktor se vratio kuci" by Yugoslavian animator Vatroslav Mimica):

Finally, here are some illustrations I did for ITT Tech.  These were for a series of videos discussing the school programs:

Intel Contest and LumenCache

Here are some images from a video I entered into the "What Does Intel Mean to You?" Contest. My entry shows how Intel's processors allow me to quickly and efficiently visualize my ideas and immediately share my animations with viewers around the globe. No longer limited to pencil, paper, and film, I can take an idea and draw, animate, record, and render it all in the computer, then upload it for everyone to see.

I also did a short freelance project recently for a product called "LumenCache." Here are some of the design keyframes:

Amazon Wireless Contest

I recently won 6th Place in a contest on Zooppa for Amazon Wireless.  The task was to "Create a video, 60 seconds or less, that demonstrates how AmazonWireless eliminates the frustration synonymous with the typical mobile phone purchase path."

The entry can be viewed HERE.

I chose to tell the story as a series of humorous animated vignettes highlighting the frustrations of buying wireless devices throughout history, contrasted with the ease of using Amazon Wireless.  I went for a retro-style, heavily influenced by the 50's Disney cartoons like "Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom," and some of the Wonderful World of Disney segments where they look at the history of a subject (music, the moon, world's fairs, etc.).
