ABOUT
Animation for the BBQ Central Show, the #1 podcast in BBQ & Grilling! This is based on a clip where Traeger CEO, Jeremy Andrus is asked why there is no Traeger Podcast.
This is the second episode of my indie animated series, Influencers University! This episode has some beautiful 3D rendered backgrounds mixed with some rigged animated characters composited beautifully in Adobe After Effects!
A parody animation of cooking influencer, GugaFoods, using a hybrid animation style using collage-style backgrounds mixed with a rough anime art style for the characters.
The teaser to Influencers University - the animation is a fuse of 3D and 2D animation, all rendered in Blender!
This was animated for The BBQ Central Show. It's based on a bit where guest Moe Cason was chomping on ice while Greg Rempe was trying to talk to him! Working with Greg Rempe was awesome!
This unfinished animation shows some advanced animation angles and some more detailed character assets! This is my first 9 minute project!
This pilot episode showcases more of my hybrid 3D/2D animation style! This animation was made in 4 weeks!
A very short fight scene I made on my old channel with some detailed character models.
This showcases my ability to animate in a simple cartoon style while also telling jokes!
Showcases my ability to perfectly replicate other people's art styles and mannerisms!
My most ambitious project I made in my teen years - a recreation of Dumb Ways to Die with my own character designs!
An epic allegorical series that critiques modern internet culture through the lens of a prestigious university for content creators. Influencers University transforms passionate YouTubers into algorithmic perfection—but at what cost?
This animated satire explores psychological manipulation, political corruption, and spiritual redemption through a biblical allegory set in the digital age. The series contrasts two cosmic forces: The Genuine (representing authentic creativity and unconditional love) and The Algorithm (embodying the destructive power of external validation).
Spanning web animation, a book trilogy (Purple Throne, Crimson Crown, Eternal Realm), original music, and fully-realized 3D environments, IU is a transmedia universe created entirely by one person—demonstrating mastery across character design, environmental modeling, storytelling, and world-building.
