Health and Wellness Systems is an ongoing project that draws attention to the complex systems of agriculture and health essential to sustainable human civilization, and how these systems are inherently corrupted by political conflict. By framing the conversation from the position of a future narrator, the project explores the paradoxically intoxicating and devastating nature of utopian ideologies.
Peekaboo screens tonight with a selection of USC films at the DGA. Here is a Peekaboo-themed tileable desktop wallpaper in honor of the event! (Click for event details)

I’m designing some textiles for an animation (more on that later!), so I made one into a tileable background for your computer! Enjoy!

Bunny’s New World required a messy kitchen set for our fat bunny to interact with. The film was designed with an extremely restricted palette — blues dominate, with the white fluorescent of the refrigerator the brightest “white” of the scene. The carrots are a popping orange color to draw the eye.




We’re gearing up for the Peekaboo‘s premiere at Slamdance, and that means printing limited runs of posters and postcards for the event.

Looking back to vintage vacation posters, I sought to generate a nostalgic “grand resort” feel, while hinting toward the tension in the overall narrative. Peekaboo plays in Park City January 22th and January 25th. To see the Slamdance schedule / buy tickets, Click here.

Bunny’s New World is an animated short about a rabbit’s search for food in an abandoned kitchen.
The design process began with a more realistically styled rabbit, and evolved into a more stylized, obese rabbit, with wide set eyes and a more simplistic expression.

Eventually, the rabbit became more streamlined, with softened edges, small, wide ears, and a more cartoonish design.

May 2012 bring everyone good luck and prosperity. Here’s a tileable wallpaper in celebration of new beginnings!
