I designed and animated this online invitation for the joint birthday party of my friends Shelby and Phil. (All address and contact info have been altered/deleted for this version in my portfolio you're not invited!)

Holiday Card 2008
I whipped up this simple-yet-ridiculous animated holiday card just before Christmas last year, using a few photos of us and our lovely rabbits.

Curses! game
I created all the pixel art (characters, backgrounds, etc) for this game and animated their movement cycles in Flash. My friend Patrick Vernon did all the hardcore Flash programming for the actual gameplay.

Halloween Party invitation Zombie Prom!
It's the Zombie Prom! Man, I was pressed for time and cranked this thing out in three nights, maybe twelve hours total. Whew!
|

Get Chemo Facts
I animated the intro movie for this site. Thirty-some layers; talk about complicated!
|
 |
CH Communicate
Designed by the client, constructed in Flash by me.

Halloween Party invitation Spooky Circus!
"Step Fright Up!" Hooboy, that's a bad line. Ha. Anyway, I did this invitation in just four (very long) days! I'm mighty proud of that.

PhAME Awards animated trophy
This is just a small embellishment animation in the corner of this website's interface to call attention to the 10th anniversary trophy.
|
 |
Arimidex
I built the splashpage animation and the three main segment menu animations for this site.
|
 |
GetBCFacts.com
For this site, I created the homepage animations that play when you complete the intro survey and continue into the main site.

Halloween Party invitation Victorian Masquerade Ball
Online invitation to a Halloween party I co-hosted in 2002. I did all the artwork and animation. The music is ripped off from "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" for Playstation.

Gianna's Grille spinning globe logo
Wow, this thing was a lot of work! I started with the existing static Gianna's Grille logo from their print materials, chopped out the continents and longitute and latitude lines, and then created a spinning globe to put inside of it, made out of some free vector art I found online.

Jerkbox Studios Factory
This was an old homepage on the Jerkbox Studios site.
|
 |
Ape-Law.com old homepage
I built this animated menu for my friend Jon Morris' site, Ape-Law.com.

ePharmaceuticals Intranet Bug Report
I was given carte blanche when designing most sections of the ePharm intranet, and was told to make it as fun as I wanted to, since it would only be used by the ePharm team internally. They did make me change the name from "Funky Bug Report Thang" to "Change Management Tracking," however. Oh yeah, that just screams "fun."

Silicon Valley of the Kings character bios
Interactive character bio page for my comic book series, Silicon Valley of the Kings.

Eightball's Magic 8-Ball
This Flash toy was a sort of parody of the many, many Magic 8-Ball ripoff sites all over the internet. It's hosted by one of the characters from my comic book, Jerkbox & Punk'nhead. It was featured in an issue of Wizard Magazine, and this page started getting more traffic than the rest of the site combined. Jeez, it's not that fun.

 |
Jerkbox & Punk'nhead old intro movie
This was the original Jerkbox & Punk'nhead intro movie that appeared on the site back in 1999 or so. It was made in Flash 2, before Flash supported alpha channels and shape tweens and everything. It's still kind of neat.
|
 |
Jerkbox Studios Y2K
This was the Y2K homepage for the Jerkbox Studios site. The pterodactyls are a Flash movie, and the rest of the page is standard gifs and jpgs and html. That pissed-off looking guy is Smallpox, a dead Aztec guy in Hell. Long story.

Super Kohmu Brothers
This was an experiment in importing low-res pixel art into Flash, converting it to vectors, and animating it. It's based on me and my old roommate Mitchell. I'm the one with the long hair. Mitch is the little red spiky monster thing that gets killed. Haha, just kidding, Mitch.

Halloween Party invitation Ancient History
This is one of my first big experiments in Flash, and while it's definitely lacking in some areas, I think there are still some things worth looking at. You can see I learned a lot more about fonts and color schemes and stuff after working on this thing. Haha, oh man, and please forgive the midi file. This was 1998, people.
