I make drawings move. Twenty years of it — a few of them on shows you've probably seen, most of them in a classroom teaching other people how.

Hello

Kansas-based, cartoon-brained.

I teach design and animation at Cowley College, and before that I spent a few years at Bento Box in Atlanta drawing for IFC, Hulu, Adult Swim, and FX. Two degrees, one MFA, and a lot of paper.

Character work is where I'm happiest — figuring out how someone walks, what their face does before they say the mean thing. Everything else is in service of that.

  • Teaching at Cowley College since 2015
  • Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe CC, Affinity
