Here is a gallery of some of my non-animation art, much of it created while I owned my animation company, One Eighty One Productions in New York City. Of course I loved designing, directing, producing, building, and animating, but it was refreshing (and still is) to just “make stuff” once in awhile that wasn’t meant to be animated. Always good practice to work with different materials, textures, color palettes, surfaces, and styles to communicate an idea! You can see that when left to my own devices, I am often drawn to a sort of “punk craft / folk art” aesthetic, not unlike the “Art Brut” and “Outsider Art” styles and techniques discussed in the fine arts world.
