A few months ago I was invited by @hellohornet to team up with the amazing Yves Geleyn to co-direct this spot for Kroger! Even better, it's Art Directed by Michaelknapp1304! Enjoy (but you might want to grab a tissue).

“Change of Plans…”

Here’s the Timelapse video for The Collector. It went through MANY iterations over the course of a few days and evenings. Realized I had the wrong aspect ratio halfway through, and followed that up with a few existential crises which are nestled in here along the way. Enjoy!

The Collector

Very excited to finally join Lightbox Expo in person this year! I’ll be at table 111 and speaking on a panel about animation Production Design on Saturday, Oct 15 at the Pasadena Convention Center. Hope to see lots of amazing people there - IN REAL LIFE!

Rust Assured. So, so rusty…

Here's a collection of some of the artwork created for Scrat Tales by yours truly. These were so much fun to work on. Big shoutouts go to my art team - Jason Sadler, Jon Townley, Hye Sung Park, Ron Defelice and José Manuel Fernández Oli. They’re amazing.

The revival of Nimona in a nutshell. You have no idea how happy I am now that we're finally getting to see the film.

Nimona is coming to Netflix!

In a future medieval land, shapeshifter Nimona Chloë Grace Moretz bursts into the lives of heroic knights Riz Ahmed + Eugene Lee Yang and blows up everything they believe in. An epic animated film adapted from the groundbreaking comic by ND Stevenson

Nimona’s always been a spunky little story that just wouldn’t stop. She’s a fighter…but she’s also got some really awesome people fighting for her. I am excited out of my mind to announce that THE NIMONA MOVIE IS ALIVE…coming at you in 2023 from Annapurna and Netflix 🤘

Congratulations to Blue Sky artists and no one else.
