Here is two animatic project I did. The first one is a western themed animation inspired by the song, "Down in Mexico." The second one is for one minute animation. It was recorded at Merlin Studios in TimesSquare, voiced by very talented Jim Haines, written byTim Lueke

Brooklyn Comicon!!

Brooklyn Comicon was held at Our Lady of Consolation Church (184 Metropolitan Ave. in Williamsburg) this weekend. This was a great opportunity to see more than 50 artists' displayed comics related works. Contemporary greats like Adrian Tomine, Jillian Tamaki, and Koren Shadoni were there!

I especially enjoyed book called "Pebble Island" by Jon McNaught, published by Nobrow Press. I'm impressed with their collection of cute, quality books, so please check them out!

Hello LA!!

I'm in LALA land for the Thanksgivingweekend. The last time I was in LA was when I was 13 when I went to Catalina Island for YMCA summer camp. It was a crazy experience as I spent two weeks with about 300 American kids, and I didn't speak English that well.

The biggest difference I noticed between NYC and LA is that in LA, you need a car to get around. I'm used to taking subways, buses, and walking everywhere, and I am not being used to getting in and out of the car every 15 minutes. Never the less, I'm gonna enjoy theCalifornia sun! Have a great Thanks Giving weekend everyone!
