She instructed us to choose one of the illustrations and tell a story around it. I remember being amazed, and it has stuck with me ever since. My mom remembered me talking about it, and recently bought it for me. It inspired me just as much as when I first saw it in 1992. The potential of eBooks is something that fascinates me, this video demonstrates what could be done, even without interactivity.

Savage Daily was a three month experiment in 2010 where I designed, animated, and experimented with a new tool every day. From the Olympics, to the Simpsons, to video remixes for Hush Studios, I pulled inspiration from something I had seen that day resulting in a wide variety of work helping me grow as an artist.

This Mobile Chrome experiment features musician Bobby Womack’s title track ‘The Bravest Man in the Universe’ and demonstrates the amazing possibilities of mobile browsers. We wanted to combine a technology showcase of Chrome for Android’s capabilities with a mainstream music appeal to increase the reach of the project and change people’s performance expectations of the mobile web. Working with Bobby Womack and XL Recordings gave us a great story to build an experience upon. To bring the experience to life visually, we developed a distinct visual style that was beautiful, yet built with performance in mind. Our story narrative and user interactions were created hand in hand to support each other. The interaction were built to take advantage of the multi touch input of the mobile devices. The user is able to tap, pinch and drag various black holes, rotate and navigate an asteroid field, planets and stars throughout their journey, all via simple gestures. From a technical standpoint, the project was a great learning process. Our challenges included breaking down what tasks were processor intensive and how we could optimize the animation. In the end, we used a mix of canvas rendering, DOM elements, CSS animations and transitions and JavaScript to get the best results. To make all of this come together we built a custom workflow, that allowed us to animate the scenes in a timeline-based animation editor and export the animation into CSS, which was then processed through custom scripts.

Inspired by Marble Madness, Captain Skyhawk, and the like, I started experimenting with isometric shapes for a reel intro in 2009. It quickly turned into a full 40 second promo, but every time I dove into it, something would come up and it got pushed to the side. Even though my taste/stye has changed over the past 3 years, I forced myself to finish it. Everything was made with Illustrator and After Effects.
