Alexandrea She's a spunky well rounded character that I dreamed up to be the lead character in a quirky highschool animation. The idea was to have her join a school club that later turned out to be a secret crime fighting society. Her friend Lavender would also eventually join in as well. Lavender is a bit of an online shopping addict, but she's got the highest marks in school.

Faces from Shapes As a fun activity and a challenge to test myself. Each of the faces drawn on this page were created from random shapes I drew with my eyes closed. It was a great test to see what kind of faces I could make out of the most random shapes and I’m pleased with the results. Perfect activity for artblock too! I really enjoyed doing these and I’ll probably be doing more in the future :)

These are a few sketches I did of random kid's Halloween costumes :) I personally enjoy how the "Bee" came out, and I plan to put some color to these concepts soon.

Part 1 of Storyboards for an animation about a boy named Jimmy and a strange mystery. He can’t seem to have icecream no matter what he does. Anytime he so much as touches it, something strange happens and people from all over, no matter what they’re doing, prevent him from tasting it. Afterwards, everyone goes back to “normal”, as if nothing had ever happened.

Second FBF Flash Animation Test

A more ambitious attempt at using Flash to create a rough FBF animation. I intend to come back and continue updating this one. The character depicted is an adorable girl named Rel, who is actively looking for her brother Nocturne (Nocty). These adorable characters were created by the very lovely Judy (thechromaticscale.tumblr.com) (A big thank you to Jubz for allowing me to use them as my test subjects<3)
