COMMISSIONED WORKS
I was commissioned by artist and creator of the Westcott Ballroom Shawn Beechner in 2023 to create a series of animated bumpers for an upcoming sketch show he's producing titled Cigarette Butts.
I was commissioned by Devin Berko in 2022 to create these stop-motion sequences for a feature-length documentary on matzo ball soup which is still in the pre-production phase. These mixed-media sequences were created with a combination of digital print-outs and hand-drawn images made with markers, colored pencil, construction and copy printer paper.
I was commissioned by Oxcart Assembly in 2022 to create these stop-motion sequences for a music video titled "Dog" for artist PayDay off the album Trips to Venus. These cut-paper sequences were created with hand-drawn images made with pencil, markers, ball point pen, colored pencil, construction, copy printer and ASTROBRIGHTS® colored paper.
I was commissioned by Old Beautiful Clips in 2022 to create these stop-motion sequences for a TikTok post to celebrate Halloween. These cut-paper sequences were created with a collage of printed cut-outs of digitally scanned public domain illustrations ranging in age from the 1950s all way back to the 1600s. The video can be seen here.
