A Sticky Little Project For Sticky Little Folks

The Salt Lake City Weekly recently had me do this cover for them with an illustration of the game board for the inside article. Obviously it's a play on SLC and Candyland. This was a big project that had to be done quickly, but was really fun to do. I felt like it was a lot of color to work with, but that's the nature of Candyland. Hopefully all the color's not too hard on the eyes.

Faux Paw Production Art

Circles & Squares Animation is working on the 4th animated Faux Paw short & book for iKeepSafe. These are some backgrounds & ideas that I've done so far.




This is the Fire Truck design that Dave Thompson has made into a 3D model.


I really liked the original color palette for this record store design, but we felt the actual building needed to "pop" more so I changed the colors a bit, which works much better I think, but I still like the acidity of the first one.

The Sound of Music (Animal Style)

Here's some final character designs for a Sound of Music parody short we're working on at FFFF. Also a background design based on the Matterhorn. And yes, I know the Sound of Music took place in Salzburg, Austria, and the Matterhorn is in Switzerland, but it's The Alps and I think the scenery still works.

Righteous! 2?

Dave and I have pitched a sequel to Righteous! the Book of Mormon DVD game, to Deseret Book. The first incarnation has seemed to do pretty well, so we're hoping to do another, this one with a church history theme. I have already produced a lot of the production art and music. Were not sure when we'll get the thumbs up or down from DB, but if we do get the go ahead we will complete the DVD and questions and hope to have it out within the next year. Here's the box art and some song samples I arranged and recorded. These were really fun hymns to jazz up. (These are m4a files, so you download them and drop them into iTunes to listen.)


1. Come, Come, You Saints

2. Firm Foundation

3. Praise To The Boogie Man

Cute Cuisine

The Friend Magazine asked me to do this illustration for one of their upcoming issues. My first attempt was not quite "cute" enough, so I submitted this second attempt which seemed to pass the "cute" test.

Recent Projects

Here's a background for an upcoming Faux Paw short at Circles & Squares Animation and a poster idea for an animated movie pitch.

Security

Another illustration I recently did for Utah Business Magazine. Something about how technical security can be overwhelming to the business man.
