Big News....GLOBAL AWARD!

Huge news, I won a Global Award for my healthcare related work on the Body Toon Ups with Dr. Pete E. Attric for Kohl's and All Children's Hospital.

The award was given out in Sydney, Australia recently. Super cool, because I was inthe company of, and in many cases, beat out work from some of the top agencies in the world, like Saatchi & Saatchi , DDB, BBDO, Olgivy Worldwide, & Leo Burnett.

Use a Didit! so you know you did

Here's a fun little character I designed, along with a website, biz card, + trade show collaterall material for a new product that helps folks remember to take their medications.

25,000 iPhone apps + 3 now

Like everyone else in the world, I've gotten into iPhone apps. I just know that when this game hits I'll be driving around in my Ferrari laughing at the thought of having to work ever again...um, well, maybe not...

BUT, I did have fun working on the animation and graphics for this fighting game. Here's a screen tease..as soon as it's launched, I'll send the address and upload some cool animations from this game + the other two apps I worked on for a studio in Hong Kong:)

Halloween Party!

Our yearly Halloween Party was more succesfull than ever. We raised $3,000 for the Children's Cancer...Here's the illustration/flyer I created for the night.

We were 900 strong with 100 people waiting to get in at 12:30! Hulk Hogan won the costume contest in an unbelievable show of buffness! Only barely beating out my good friend Rowan, who came as a blow up car dealer wind decoration. Great costumes, killer vibe, and beautifull women EVERYWHERE...and sorry Mangroves (venue) I guess it's not a party until the Fire Marshall shows up! YIKES!

Blast from the Past!

Going through some old files, I ran into these layouts and animation plans for Lowry Park Zoo, for whom I did a :30 a while back. I love this style, which was hand drawn characters, mapped onto 3D surfaces and then deformed. A cool and cost effective style...sort of a 3D multiplane camera, if you will. Enjoy the look and setup design.

Who do you want to be?

These little guys are from a campaign I'm working on for Southwest Florida College...an online Avatar styled little campaign with caricatured stereotypes of their college majors. Look for some cool animation in this simple, but fun, style soon...

Riley Animation + the boys from Dublin! U2!

Truly a spiritual night when U2 came to Raymond James Stadium. We arrived at the Stadium @ 7am, braving hot weather, South Americans who don't understand the concept of a line, security, and wicked games of 4 square. Muse rocked, but it was the boys from Dublin that made the night one of the most incredible ever. The Claw was magnificent. Beaming in Gui, the founder of Cirque de Solie from the International Space Station was crazy cool....We will be seeing them in NY, Miami, and possibly Toronto upon their return. So AWESOME!!
