Ben 10 Omniverse space ships.

Another space ship that I designed and built in Sketch Up for Ben 10 Omniverse.
The ship is supposed to operated by a cheap second rate Starliner company. So it's a bit run down. It's a bit like a ferry boat, carrying passengers and cargo.
The art director wanted a fish shaped ship.... thus the Sun fish shape.

Ben 10 Omniverse space ships

This a space ship I designed and then built in Sketch Up. I did this for Ben 10 Omniverse, episode 56. The interior is also a Sketch Up model that I built.
It is a Galvan ship so it is small in scale.
I painted the model based on the color model sheet.

Props and vehicles from days long ago

These are some of the props I designed during my 16 years as a designer at Klasky-Csupo.
There were many shows where the background designers also designed the props in the sequences that were assigned to them. This is how these, and hundreds of other props that I designed, came to be.

Shakespeare & Jolly





This is a cartoon my partners and I have created. I have done all the artwork: characters, backgrounds, and color.
The premise: an unemployed Shakespearean actor takes a job driving an ice cream truck. With each truck comes a jolly little clown to drum up business. Polar opposites, Shakes and Jolly try to make a living under the scrutiny of their domineering boss, insane meter maids, and strange playground dwellers. Not to mention a unique racial twist.

Transformers Animated





I was the background designer for the third season of Transformers Anmated. The majority of the interiors I designed I also built in Sketchup Pro as 3D models. I really enjoyed that job.

My Take on Sunset Boulevard





This is a personal project. I went through the script of Billy Wilder's 1949 film: Sunset Boulevard and designed all the major locations as if I were the art director/set designer. The locations that needed to be historically acurate are, the others I created based on the discription of the scene in the script. THESE ARE NOT THE SHOTS IN THE MOVIE they are my compositions.
There are 18 drawings in the series, the average size is 13.5" by 32" but the biggest (Norma Desmond's living room) is 13.5" by 7 feet!
I had a gallery show in 2005. It was incredibly gratifying to have over 100 friends and well wishers attend the opening night! Many thanks friends.

Stretch





This is an animated show concept my partners and I created. I designed the characters and the backgrounds. Kevin Gallegely painted them.
Basically; the show is about the life and times Ira (Stretch) Smith, teenage son of "plastic man" (retired). Set in a hidden town of superheros...and villains.
