This is a short stop motion video exploring one of the five senses. Do I seem violent? I blame my brothers.

Writer's Block, A Tale of Frustration
This is a short stop-motion piece I did sophomore year before entering the Communication Design program. Therefore, forgive my use of Papyrus. I knew not what I was doing (Avatar has no excuse though). The visuals were created with an eraser board and markers, images of which I then dumped into Flash.
Flash, how you frustrate me
(The blog is a little out of sequence. This was completed after the stop-motion pieces. I have yet to master the other uses of Flash) Here's my first pass at a title sequence for the fictional show "Noble Pursuit". According to the blurb we had to design around, this guy fights in the Seven Years War, becomes a spy and a con-man, works his way up and marries "Lady Avarice", and then his so-called happy life falls apart. I have focused on the spy/con-man phase of his life and depicted it through numerous hats/disguises. It didn't really turn out how I wanted it to, and looks a little inconsistent and cobbled together. My first idea had to be scrapped because I just didn't have enough time/knowledge of Flash yet. Hopefully I can revise it once Monday is over. I'll keep you posted.

Technology, it needs me
Here's another illustration I did for Stud Life to accompany an article about the constant pressure to always be reachable by phone, text, email, etc. You can't get a moment's peace anymore! I heartily agreed with this editorial, and it seems especially relevant in this new world of networking I'm venturing into. Phone, text, email, facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, Behance, other email, blog, face-to-face communication, notes, carrier pigeons--it's exhausting! Anyhoo, enjoy:

Merry Melodies
This is something I did a while ago, but it still makes me giggle. I wasn't sure if I should put it in my portfolio, but I wanted to at least put it on here. So feast your eyes upon my line of Christmas-themed bathroom products!
From the top: hand towel, soap dish, rinse cup, wash rag, and toothbrush holder.
There's a lake of stew, and of whiskey too, and you can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe...
At first, I had it in a horrible plastic jewel case that just didn't fit the rest of the project at all, and I won't even show you the embarrassing thing. Then I moved onto this:
I liked the design, but it was a little too flimsy, so I got some thicker paper and unleashed my newly acquired bookbinding knowledge to create this nifty paper wrapper:
