Of course, not content with a mere single drawing, I have to go crazy and attempt to animate something in that short chunk of time. Sometimes I'm even successful!
| MorphBall An exercise in clay animation. Make the ball move and morph into different things. | MPEG Movie |
| Circuit Shorts-1.1 CATACLYSM I finally found some time to do a sequel! My computer has been upgraded quite a bit and I've been taking art classes and learning how to draw a bit better. So here it is, after all this time! | Quicktime |
| Beware Bewaaare Another animation for class. Again on my 386. :) | AVI Movie |
| Ship This is a pretty cheap effect. I did this animation in about half an hour, getting ready for class, but it looked kinda cool. Play it in a loop! :) Created ~1998 | AVI Movie |
| Wirehead My punk rock wild-haired gadget-girl avatar made of clay. Wirehead's story is strange indeed. | Directory |
| Faux News A little tongue-in cheek play on the words Faux, Fox, and FOX. Hand Drawn and Toon Boom. | Quicktime |
| RoadKill Looks like we may never know. This won't end well. An art exchange on YERF for Halloween 04. Hand drawn, colored in ToonBoom again. | Flash |
| Meow Simple-polygon kitten, simple animation. Just a short project fooling around with Maya 5. | Quicktime |
| SPACEARK "SPACEARK" is my impression of a low-budget Sci-fi flick... If it were made in Arkansas! Mindnumbingly cheesey! | Quicktime |
| Thingymadoodle Some kind of weird perpetual motion device. Also for class. This is a good example of using math in animation. The gear rations andanimated textures on the belts were all designed mathmatically to make this machine work. | AVI Movie |
| Bowling My first animation for my 3d class, some minor character animation of a bowling pin, trying to escape the ball. I didn't erally have enough time to do this right. | AVI Movie |
| Flare Starfire An art exchange I did with Flare StarFire, a musician I met at Further confusion 2004. | Flash |
| Desert Drivin Much time passed before I took animation classes. This is my first animation for my first class. Done on a 386 with Animator Studio 1.1 Play it in a loop! :) | AVI Movie |

| Flash Some of the projects I did for my Flash animation class in 2004. | Directory |
| FCTV Further Confusion has its own TV station for the weekend of the convention. These are a few of the animated shorts that I've created for them to run between their longer programs. | Directory |
| IronClaw "IronClaw" is an anthropomorphic fantasy role-playing system from Sanguine Productions, Ltd. I put together this animation for them as a promotional trailer in just under a week by using some of the images from their book. "IronClaw" is a trademark of Sanguine Productions, all characters depicted are Copyright of Sanguine Productions and their respective artists. | Quicktime |
| Pencil Quick drawings and rough tests ahead. Look out! This is the pencil test directory. Lots of this stuff is really _bad_ | Directory |
| Circuit Shorts-1.0 Blue Screen of Death "Circuit Shorts" is my current project. It's a series of animations, capturing the secret lives of the demons which lurk inside your average home computer. | Quicktime |
| Too-close Encounter I drew this last year as an effects project for my animation class. It's all shot in negative mode. Thought I'd upload it just for fun. | Quicktime |
| Free as a Bird It's been a long time coming but it's finally compete, all rendered in charcoal on paper. There are tons of things I could do to improve it now but it's time to move to a new project. At last, I'm free. :) | Quicktime |
| It's not Ecco Another early 3d animation. Again created on my mighty 286. | AVI Movie |
| The Chase Hand drawn and ink-and-paint in ToonBoom, two children getting plenty of exercise. | Flash |
| Run More classroome computer animation! And my first computer walk-cycle. (Okay, I know, it's really lame but it was cool to me at the time!) | AVI Movie |
| Drugs This is your brain on drugs. Any questions? I think I did this animation sometime around 1996. | Quicktime |
| Aussie Fried Ostrich Ever get that hankerin' for an even bigger drumstick than those guys at ren faires have? Aussie Fried Ostrich! Now with 6 inconvenient new locations! It's delicious! | Quicktime |
| Games My final project from my 3D class, I'd been bit by a dog and my hand was braced and bandaged when I did this, so it's not my best work. Not to mention, the only copy I had of it was on VHS and I wasn't able to retrieve it from tape until June of 2001, so it's atrocious. Still, there's a couple of nifty moments in it, and it's my only large 3d project. | AVI Movie |
| 10 second club Every month, the 10 Second Club gives animators a 10-second clip of audio to animate to and a month to do it. At the end of the month, everyone votes, and the best renditions win a prize. The idea of this one is expressive character animation. Most of the entires are usually 3D but 2D and clay are welcome as well. | Directory |
| Persimmon Persimmon is a happy bouncy little grey squirrel. This directory is stuff related to an animated version of her I may one day finally get around to doing. | Directory |
| Style This is a reel of 2D effects I did for my 2D computer animation class. Kinda new-agey and artsy. Done on a 386! This copy is very lossy, but you get the general idea. | Quicktime |
| Bouncing Balls Characterization study using very simple objects. Lotsa fun! | Quicktime |
| Artist Ambush The Artist's Ambush is a weekly thing that I go to now and then. Basically, the host gives a subject and you have a half hour to draw that subject in your own way. We then compare them and give a prize to whoever's interpretation is liked best. Though for the most part, we go more to learn and challenge ourselves than to 'win'. It's a sure cure for writer's block. Of course, not content with a mere single drawing, I have to go crazy and attempt to animate something in that short chunk of time. Sometimes I'm even successful! |

| Political Short animations I've done with a political bent. Most of these aren't very good. | Directory |
| Lipsync I was supposed to do a lipsync assignment for class where I was to use some stock heads with mouth shapes and animate using them to found audio. Naturally, I couldn't do anything that simple. I conned a friend into making mouth shapes for me to animate to and then animated them. I'm such a nerd that I was animating largely by looking at the waveform rather than listening to the sound, so when I played it back for the first time, I got a bit of a surprise. It made me giggle so I kept it. Awooooga! | Quicktime |
| Misc A bunch of animations that aren't much about anything. A couple of birthday cards for some friends and a mean little animation for a mean little boy. | Directory |
| Dance Experiment with character motion in clay. | MPEG Movie |
| Morphymobile My first animation! This is the first computer animation I did, way way back in like 1990. I created this on a 286 using 3DS. | AVI Movie |
| The Dog Ate My Homework A short animated clip for the West Bloomfield Township Public Libraries for their children's educational information. | Flash |
| The Invisible Man's Vanishing Acts In this 3d animation, the invisible man disappears, right before your very eyes! (though this is on my site because the lighting is nice) | AVI Movie |
| The Untimely Adventures of Pizza Dude A goofy little clip I put together about the perils of furry vixens and pizza delivery. | Quicktime |
