    uniE621 Storyboard for Pineview
    BRK Marketing tasked me to create a storyboard for one of their clients, Pineview. I received aid from the CEO to make this storyboard just as they wanted it. While I did the art for this, it does not belong to me. The property of this storyboard goes to BRK Marketing and Pineview, and I am grateful they allowed me to add this to my portfolio. illustrator storyboard
    uniE621 Vegelato
    Quite recently, I was given a chance to create a logo for the term "Vegelato," which is a trademarked term owned by Artisen Gelato. The gelato served by Artisen Gelato is vegan and is made using coconut milk. As such, I decided to include a little coconut in the piece. logo graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer
    uniE621 Touche
    Touche was the result of a Sequence and Story assignment in which I could not think of what story to tell in both one picture and in a comic sequence. I instead decided to draw my dilemma, therefore solving my problem. comicbook illustrator storyboarding
    uniE621 Lucy
    This sketch was at first a practice for a later assignment, but later it turned into something more. This new character, who I named Lucy, was inspired by the 1940s in which I can imagine her performing at a jazz club perhaps as a singer or maybe even a patron. illustrator watercolor history characterdesign
    uniE621 Fifth Page of Let’s All Go To The Movies
    Let’s All Go To The Movies is a children’s book on the wonders of the theater. The story will follow a movie usher, Gene, on a theater tour, teaching kids about its functions and what to expect. illustrator characterdesign childrensbook
    uniE621 Doughnut Boy Character Reference
    Doughnut Boy is a character for a comic called Burgerman and Doughnut Boy. I try to understand the character's personality and fashion sense in this. This will come in handy for animators. illustrator characterdesign
    uniE621 Pip the Mouse
    Inspired by Disney's Great Mouse Detective, An American Tale, and the Babymouse Comic Series. illustrator characterdesign
    uniE621 Bunnies and Chicks
    While taking classes at UNCC, I realized that they had yet to have us draw animals, mostly figures and still life. While it was useful, many animated movies and shows feature talking animals, so I decided to play around with two animals, chickens and bunnies. illustrator animaldesign designer sketch
    uniE621 Flesh and Bones_ Hands
