Adventures In Freelancing. (Graphic Design)

Hey guys,

I've been busy but, I just wanted to share something new that I've been working on. This is a logo design I did for an interior design company focusing on business. The logo wasn't used, but it was a fun experience nonetheless. (All trademarks, logos, images are copyrighted to there respective parties).

I'm Back... and with some Great News!

Well I'm back from a long hiatus. Alot of projects are ah-brewin' but, nothing new yet to showcase. I just found out recently from my good friend Heath Grant, that the animated short I worked on WILL be featured in this year's Santa Cruz Film Festival! This is very exciting news indeed. If your in town swing by and check it out! "Diablo Loco" Tickets at http://www.santacruzfilmfestival.org/

I won't leave you empty handed. Here is another installment of "Oldies but Goodies." I initially wasn't going to post this stuff, but why not? Maybe someone will enjoy it.

This was my final project for Storyboarding in the summer of 2005. The objective was to pick one of 3 options for a story concept and sync it to the soundtrack. From what I recall, I picked a character has to go somewhere, obtain an object and then create something with it. When I heard this tune I immediately thought of early silent films, and comedies like "Laurel and Hardy" and "The Three Stooges." What do you think? (e.g. Music copyrighted to the Respected Parties - NOT MINE AND DON'T CLAIM IT TO BE.)




This was another final project from my web design class in the fall of 2005. It a majority of it focused on Flash and CSS. We had the choice of making a website or an animatic short. I chose the latter. I made up the character a long time ago and thought it was appropriate for the exercise. It consists mostly of key pose animations and is very refined. I did win an award for it as an animation concept in 2008, but to be fair, there wasn't many submissions. lol, hey I'm not complaining the animators should of stepped it up!

New...ish Stuff 2 "Swashbucklin' Goodness!"

Here are two models (that im finally done with), that will or will not be used in two animated film shorts by Matt Byers and Marissa Sarabia.

New...ish Stuff

It's been awhile, but I finally have something new to show. I've been working on a few things simultaneously and haven't paid much attention at all to this blog. anyways, this is a game character of a German solider of World War 2 era (I know, I know, I totally sold out to what is popular right now in the game world, but hey, I need a better job than what i have). It is a 5000 polygon model, with two 2048x2048 normal maps, two 2048x2048 color maps, a 2048x2048 transparency map, and finally two 512x512 specular maps.

Very Old Sketchbook Stuff To Laugh At!

Well it's been awhile since I posted anything, so since its Halloween, I feel it is appropriate to put up some scary stuff that we all can laugh at! Enjoy!

Next time I'll put up some cool NEW stuff. I promise!

I dig this guy! I was thinking of modeling a full character from this concept.


These are rough concepts for a childrens book I was working on.

Layout 2 Continued...

Here is the final for my portfolio class back in April. It was very unfortunate for me to not have this done in time for Siggraph (which was an awesome experience), but I did get some insight and encouragement from industry professionals, teachers and peers. I now have a better idea of whats to be expected. If you want to see some pics of the event check out my teacher's blog Jeff Jackson at (http://sonjebasa.blogspot.com/) and while your at it check out my school Cogswell Polytechnical College (www.cogswell.edu) which totally represented at the event! Big ups guys! I will definitely try to make it to next years event in New Orleans!



Here is another version with a different font. I believe this was the final version.
