How It Should Have Ended just dropped another new episode that I animated! Design, music, writing by Ruben DeLuna Creative and the HISHE team.

A couple years ago, I got to be part of an awesome team for the first ever Cartoon Network Game Jam! Skipped Valentine's Day, slept on a cement floor, and spent the weekend making art for a game- we even placed! Didn't consider posting it til now, but here's a snippet, and here’s a link to the full mini-documentary and here’s a link to our teams profile. 

I had the pleasure of working on another episode of How It Should Have Ended, courtesy of Ruben DeLuna Creative and the HISHE team. This time, I animated everything aside from the intro titles and Jafar’s menacing fingers!

A little while ago, I worked with Ruben De Luna to create some educational content for Amaze. Animation and additional design by me. Direction, design, and animatic by Ruben De Luna Creative.

A Birthday animation I created for Hallmark eCards is now live and available for purchase by subscribed members, and viewing it is free! I created everything (design, animation, concept, story) aside from the sound design. Creative Direction by Rob Runyeon. Click the title to play!

I participated in the Global Game Jam again this year! 48 hrs to make a game, so I helped a team out with their art. This was my favorite character design of the weekend. A berating boss from an alien bar: https://globalgamejam.org/2018/games/et-mixology

It’s a been since I’ve updated, largely because a lot of my work has been in social media and involves seeking out where and when the content has been posted. Recently though I did some more Hallmark eCard work! A Boss’ Day animation I created for Hallmark eCards is now live and available for purchase by subscribed members, and viewing it is free! I created everything (design, animation, compositing) aside from the story and sound design. Creative Direction by Rob Runyeon. Click the title to play!

For the past year I’ve been slowly working on a side project with friends of mine.

I recently created a Snapchat Geofilter for a popular local outlook of Eugene, OR. If you live in the area, take a very light hike up Spencer Butte and pull up your Snapchat filters near the flagpole to activate it!

I just finished my latest Hallmark eCard Animation (coming soon) and realized this was my 20th eCard. It reminded me of how much I enjoy working with Hallmark Labs. They’re easy to communicate with and they always allow a lot of creative freedom for their artists. If you want to cards by myself, a good portion of them can be found by searching “Koss” https://www.hallmarkecards.com/
