Here’s an update to the animated short film I’ve been working on – this is just a quick speedpainting, serving as a study for the set and environment.

Having spent most of my career in a project-based environments, I’ve experienced a variety of different production techniques, leadership styles, and pipeline processes; both successful and unsuccessful. The projects have run the gamut. Some of them have been fun and some of them were life-draining but worth almost every moment.

3 Days and 60 miles in the fight to end breast cancer
I just finished building a logo for the ‘Girls Gone Pink’ 2010 Atlanta 3-Day team. The team is currently raising financial support as they join with thousands of other women from around the country to find a cure for breast cancer. Each year, many men and women in the major cities across the U.S. join along with the Susan G.

Please visit their team website for information about the team members and to make a donation. You can also become a fan of the Girls Gone Pink team on Facebook. Just search for their name! Now, here’s their logo…
