Looking back; moving onwards.

Hellohello.
2009 proved to be a very career-nourishing year. I was very grateful to participate in an internship over at Melbourne, Australia in the very amazing XYZ Studios. Although time seemed to fly by in a blink of an eye, it rekindled my love towards animation and concept development. I even got to assist in the animation of a commercial for Fortis Bank in Amsterdam! :) Here's the final product:



Right after Australia and its massive spiders, both Shelde and I headed back to the good ol' USA and settled in San Diego until the Comic-Con, where I was very fortunate to draw at the Elephantmen booth.





Saying that the experience was a dream come true is an understatement. Can't thank you enough for making this experience possible, Richard!!! I hope to do some more Elephantmen-related sketches and work in the future. ;)

Anyway, a few months after SDCC, I got asked to do concept work for an online ad promoting Walden Media's upcoming productions. The animation was done by The Luv (thanks for including me in this project, guys! :), while I dealt with the storyboard, character and environment design. Final product can be watched HERE.

After parting from my sweetpea Mr. Sheldon in January, I've dedicated my time in Puerto Rico to working once again on my portfolio in hopes of revamping the whole thing. I'm very excited for what 2010 holds in store, and have plenty of ideas/projects to fulfill and hopefully for you guys to enjoy. xoxo
