ABOUT

Having worked at a small studio, I have contributed to a variety of TV shows, Films, Film trailers and more.

Early on painting, animation and tracking skills were easily translated to Rig removal on movies like "Blades of

Glory," as well as numerous MPAA fix shots. Recent projects include "Homeland", "Bones" and

concept/illustrations for the movie title, "Angels Sing". Working at a boutique studio made it necessary to

contribute to all aspects of production. Clients include but are not limited to: Warner Bros/NBC

Universal/Rhythm and Hues/Pongo/Paramount Pictures/Focus Features/Skycastle Entertainment/SSI
