Potoo has hired me for everything from studios IDs, to comic book storyboards, to imaginary cartoon shows within a movie- all of which they gave great creative control and input.

Here are some sketches I did for fun or when I was inspired to make something!
Buzzmonkey Software hired me on as a general artist, which included concept/prop design, animation, and additional UI work.
What you see is a collective of work, ranging from IP concepts to Rinth Island, an acclaimed mobile game later purchased by Chillingo.
For the IP games, they were still in rough development, so free range was given to designs of characters. As for Rinth, Island, I was primarily a prop and costume designer and would past on my concepts to 3D artists for modeling.
Zynga hired me on as a UI Artist for the Frontierville: The Pioneer Trail and Cityville series, creating player rewards, different stages of items and events, and several forms of consistent UI throughout the game.
I worked with a UI team to create daily and weekly content for loyal players, and it was a great opportunity for some fun, goofy designs.
