Animation, Character Design, and Visual Development
Public Arts Initiatives
ArtWalk Doodle Boards
Artist Brian Tan (@btanart) and I have created multiple artboards during Mobile's monthly ArtWalks. We take free suggestions from the people of downtown Mobile to create our quick doodle designs and allow them to help us color the illustrations.
Alabama Contemporary Summer Camp
I led an Introduction to Character Design class for emerging artists ages 10-15 with the Alabama Contemporary Art Center. We worked throughout the week to develop one character per student. Their characters were displayed at the Mobile Animation Film Fest (MAFF)
Amp Up Arts Summer Camp Murals
Artist Brian Tan (@btanart) and I collaborated with a group of students at Chastang-Fournier Middle School to create cafeteria murals through the Amp Up Arts Initiative. These will be premiered to the public in August 2024. Check out our interview with MCPSS here!
Slurp Society Murals with Brian Tan
Artist Brian Tan (@btanart) and I collaborated on a set of bathroom murals for Mobile's premium ramen shop, Slurp Society. These will be open to the public when the new Slurp Society location opens in August 2024.
2024 Festival of Flowers
Alongside the Mobile Art's Council, I contributed to an installation celebrating the creativity of Lonnie Johnson, inventor of the Super Soaker, for the 2024 City of Mobile Festival of Flowers. Using moss, wood, and mulch, I crafted a sculpture of Lonnie alongside two wooden Super Soaker replicas. Additionally, I assisted in arranging the installation for a memorable festival experience. The installation was displayed in Cathedral Square from March 8th-12th
