Music

As some of you know, I write, sing, and play guitar. Here's a site where I posted some of my music. You can listen to my playlist, as well as buy my album! Check it out!

San Francisco Exclusive Vinylmation 3"

This Vinylmation will be exclusive to the San Francisco Disney Store. I also designed the tin packaging.

9" Vinylmation - Gothy

From the Cutesters Like You series. This one was a lot of fun to design.

Cutesters Like You

As far as I know, this is the first 12-set collection that was designed by one artist. I think they came out great. I designed these on the original vinylmation mold. When the series went to production, they used the newer mold. Regardless, I think they're still very cute and I'm happy with the result.

Vinylmation Villains

I'm very proud to have been a part of this project.

I will get to the dolls in a moment, but first I wanted to mention the packaging. I designed the 3" box and artist cards for this series. This involved creating the logo, choosing the color palette and fonts, finding a background pattern and creating some supplemental graphic elements. It was also challenging to fit the English and French legalese (choking hazard, return policy, etc.) into the design. Lastly, a number of parties were shown the design (as well as my handmade mock-up of the box), and it was approved. All in all it was another rare occasion of a design hitting the market exactly the way I wanted it to look, so I'm excited to see it released.
Anytime you get to represent a legendary character like Cruella (and being such a fan of everyone involved in the movie, the animators, Bill Peet, Ronald Searle, etc.), it's a thrill. I'm happy with how she came out, and it's one of the few times you can still show someone smoking!

Shan-Yu was also fun to design. I enjoyed adding the chinese characters of his name (单于) to the design.
I don't know how well known this fact is, but these dolls were all designed at the Disney Store home base in Pasadena. It is the first time a group of artists outside the Florida Parks team has created Vinylmation dolls, and I think our team did a fantastic job.
