And though I'll soon be graduating as a successful studio art convert and have been working professionally as a book illustrator since 2013, my love for science and the natural world remains. Since I'm majoring in electronic art and minoring in anthropology, the combination of educational material with new and interactive media has become a particular interest of mine and I strive wherever possible to create art that is both aesthetically pleasing and intelligent. Since I frequently find the subjects of my work to be heavily influenced by what I learn in academia or elsewhere, I suppose it could be said that I tend to draw the interesting things I learn and use my artwork as a vehicle to share that information with other people. Currently, some of my favorite topics to explore include paleoanthropology, paleontology and zoology! In its natural state, I believe the style of my work lies somewhere at the nexus of illustration, animation and design, and in all my work I enjoy giving my subjects a sense of naturalistic movement and character. Perhaps this is why I'm drawn to and inspired by the work of successful contemporary artists like Nico Marlet, Tomm Moore and Takashi Murakami. Though my style often combines elements of both digital and analogue illustration, in my recent projects I've tried to enhance the quality of my design by exploring limited color palettes and more simplistic forms.1 minute 10 seconds (Dawn of the cat); 2 minutes 18 seconds (Interactive bubble swarm); 40 seconds (Yellow and blue in love)born digitalmotion pictures (visual works)digital moving image formatsStudent worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
