I’ve worked in the animation industry doing storyboards and writing since 2014. Here are a few selected storyboard panels of episodes I’ve worked on from Regular Show, Infinity Train and Apple & Onion. Contact me to see full storyboard and writing samples and CLICK HERE to view my animation resume.

A 2 minute short I made with Nickelodeon that was my introduction to the animation industry, pitched in 2012 and further developed until 2016.

It stars three best friends Sal, Elizabeth and Enzo (along with their stolen hedgehog Crim) who created their ultimate hang zone… a giant, multi-roomed hole on the side of Sal’s house. Based off of my childhood of growing up in Arizona and digging my own hole every summer with my neighborhood friends.

Over the course of it’s 4 year development, I created countless images and came up with tons of episode ideas (and a movie!), and also boarded a full pilot episode. It kills me to this day that I can’t share more of this deeply personal and rich story with the world!

For the 2017 season (Sean Mcvay’s first season as head coach), the LA Rams hired me do come up with and draw single panel gag cartoons of their mascot beating up on their opponents each week, and they would post the drawings on their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages leading up to each game!

I’m pretty sure there was a clause in the contract specifically stating that I couldn’t go around telling people that I was “The Official LA Rams Cartoonist,” but believe me, I was ABSOLUTELY going around telling everyone that I was “The Official LA Rams Cartoonist.” Such a fun project, and I loved seeing the fans react to my work!!

These are large scale paintings based off my ‘zoned out’ sketchbook pages. A few of these works were on display at Cartoon Network Studios accompanied by this statement, which further explains the process of creating them:

As a cartoonist, it’s in my nature to come up with funny characters, write stories, and crack jokes, but I’ve always felt like my purest forms of self expression are made in my sketchbooks. My favorite sketchbook pages are created when I’m in a rare meditative state, where my brain switches off and I’m solely focused on letting my hand draw whatever feels right, sometimes resulting in a pleasing chaotic mess of characters and lines melting into one another. Occasionally I’ll incorporate text, but it’s just outside noise or a fleeting thought being absorbed onto the paper. There isn’t a story in these compositions; just raw interpretation of a particular moment I’m living in.

The paintings on display are a way of capturing the energy of my original sketchbook drawings while elevating them from mindless doodles to “fine art” through the tediousness of tracing a reworked version of the sketchbook page onto an already painted canvas, then painting a new layer around those lines (which are later wiped away), allowing the bottom layer to show through as a line drawing. It’s a meticulous process — almost a meditation in itself — and as a relatively anxious person with a short attention span, I’m always striving to reach that elusive state.

I started making diary comics my last semester of college in 2009, when I became addicted to the instant gratification of sharing small moments of my life with my friends and tasked myself to make one everyday. I stuck with it and managed to do a daily diary strip every day for 3 years, only missing a day or two. It was an INCREDIBLE learning experience, not only in a comic creation sense like getting better at drawing, writing, comic timing , but learning to literally force myself to draw EVERY DAY even if I didn’t feel like it.

After those initial three years I felt like I hit an artistic plateau and decided to switch up the square 4-panel format to a longer, full page 6 panel (or so) format and allowed myself to do a few a week instead of every day. I kept that up for a couple years and then felt like I was plateauing again, causing me to do them them more and more sporadically, until I eventually stopped entirely in 2019. Now I do them when I feel like it, and actually have been making a lot more these past couple months.

I’ve had 8 collections ranging from self-published monsters that pushed the limits of staple binding to professionally printed perfect bound books published by Tinto Press and Kilgore. Check my store or the stores of my publishers to purchase some!

A 12 page comic that gives an honest look at what it was like to be a storyboard artist on Cartoon Network’s Infinity Train that was featured on CARTOON BREW.

This is a follow up to a comic I made about being a storyboard artist on Regular Show, which you can read HERE. The role of a board artist varies greatly from production to production and I hope to continue this series in the future!

Make sure to watch Infinity Train! Now streaming on HBO Max.

I’ve been coming up with weird stories and characters since I was a kid and my brain pretty much exploded when I discovered mini-comics and zines as I was finishing up college. I finally felt like I had an outlet to share all this stuff that had been living in my head!

I soon dedicated every waking second of free time to making comics and wound up winning a XERIC AWARD, a self-publishing printing grant for my book FIGHT in 2011. That’s around the time when I started telling people that I was a CARTOONIST with confidence.

Since then I’ve made tons of books, mostly self published (meaning printed at a copy shop, and then folded, stapled and trimmed by hand), but have worked with a few small publishers as well.
