Logo animation

This was an assignment for my motion graphics class. We had to pick a television network and animate their logo.

The Star

This is a video that I'm working on in after effects. I'm learning how to rig a character in illustrator to animate in after effects. I'm just experimenting and having fun with this. Just a reminder, I'm still learning so I'm not a pro at this yet.

The Sun

I did a few variations of the sun. Joe Thiel (my illustration teacher) wants me to stick with the one with no face, but I like one with a face. I'm not sure which one I will choose for thesis. I have no time to decide, I have a lot of work ahead of me and I'm currently working on "The Star." I'll have that up soon.

The Moon

I'm still playing with the idea of the mix culture of Latin America in the U.S. In the dark part of the moon I have a drawing of the Aztec Moon Goddess. I'm probably going to keep working on the flag to make it look more like an American flag.



The background was pretty cool so I thought I would post it since it gets lost in the final.

This is kind of a collaboration with my girlfriend, Kelly Versaggi who is a senior computer animator here at Ringling. She needed a movie poster for thesis, so I let her have fun with the Boo Boo Monster. This image will be pinned on a bedroom door of her thesis animation.

Another Self Portrait

The skull is an aztec symbol of death which seems to have me in its mind as much as I have death in mine.

The Boot

It's thesis time and here is a sneak peak at my fist piece.

Business in Blue

Experimentation

Here is a self portrait that I did to try out some different things. It wasn't that well received by Thiel. He pretty much ripped it off the wall and crumbled it into a ball to throw it back at me. hahaha. I thought I would do a more conceptual self portrait on how I feel about this year. I feel like I can absorb in everything like a sponge and produce an image "from the heart." I feel like by doing everything from the heart I am being true to myself and producing art is becoming more fun and exciting everyday.

Below is a self portrait I did my junior year. It was a very crazy year for me so this is pretty much how if felt about that year. I stretched a piece of fabric over wood and the rest is paper cut out that I painted with acrylics and pasted together.

Self Portrait

rain, rain, go away

Here is a finished piece for my children's book that I'm trying to write. In the beginning he gets out of bed and looks out the window to see a bright sunny day. He gets really excited, because he gets to go outside and play with his friends. He runs to the door and as soon as he opens it up, its poring. Kinda of a like a typical day in Florida.

Little Red Riding Hood

A Man with a Beautiful Voice

I finally got around to revisit this guy. I fixed the pattern and added roses so it's like he's singing beautiful music.

Casualties of Football

This is from an article about how football players play hurt during games. They end up suffuring in pain from these injuries for the rest of thier lives after their career ends.

Peppers

This was an overnight assignment to do some spot illustrations of food.

Adorable

Here is something I am working on for my children's book class. I can't decide if his name should be Marvin or Garvin. I would love some feed back. Thanks!

This is a mixed media piece. It is an illustration of an article that I found in 'Time Magazine' about Marines in Iraq. The Blue Platoon were being attacked by Rocket Propelled Grenades and watched their comrades die. Even though they had a chance to pull out of Iraq, they wanted to stay to fight in honor of their friends.

Sketch

this is a sketch based from a Grimm's fairy tale. I forgot the name of the tale, but it was about a little girl going to a witch's house to get fire for her evil family.
