Little Taco Truck: Layouts
The first page of Tanya Valentine's book, Little Taco Truck, features the line "In a busy corner of the big city, new buildings began to rise."

Evolution of a Character
Data's Journey is one of the rare projects where I was the sole designer. After examining the scope of the job and the client's preferences, I put myself into position to explore and nail down the look of the characters and the world. This meant cycling through several design rounds, and working closely with Graffects…

30 Seconds, No Drawing
While my new TV Spot for Urban Legends features loads of photo & video production, there is animation on almost every frame. Nonetheless, the entire piece was produced without putting pencil to paper (or stylus to tablet). This is not a rant against drawing, I LOVE DRAWING - so much in fact that 30 years…

MightyPants 2015 Animation Reel
I figured it was time. Our last Studio Animation Reel is from 5 years ago, before we transmogrified into MightyPants. It does not include many of the great new projects we developed for our friends/clients. I wanted something that focused solely on our new work. But this is not it. I'm sorry... I had to bring back…
