Nurse

This character was designed to be an 'unexpected hero'. After the I found some fun shapes to work with I constructed her general anatomy with volumetric primitives.

Chicken Hawk

This is a quick sketch of an intimidating villainous cowboy.

Appealing Shapes

For this, I drew about 30 abstract shapes focusing only on design. I was looking for straights vs. curves, small medium and large areas, motion and force, and general appeal. After I found one that I liked, I made it into this character.

Preservation

This is another chapter header for Nationundead.com. This chapter is 'Preservation', in which humans are forced to board up the windows and hole up in safe houses. Again, this one leaves a lot to the imagination. I used a wide open composition juxtaposed against this cramped, broken down old house to hopefully get a feeling of claustrophobia in open space. I think it has a a soft beauty to it, along with a strange unrest.

Faculty Poster

This is a poster made by the PR department at Ai, to highlight me as a faculty member.

Pitch Boards

Here are five pitch boards for a Chevy speculative spot using the 'Trunk Monkey' ad campaign as inspiration: A couple friends show up to a baseball game and find that traffic, along with a snobby parking attendant prevent them from getting to their tail-gating, so they summon the trunk monkey who saves the day and gets some sweet action.

These went through several revisions. This is what my workspace looked like during the process.

Stretch Folds and Compression Folds

I like these as examples of stretch folds and compression folds. I wore an over sized football jersey and did some exaggerated poses for these.
