Motion Graphics Reel |
Hi there!My name is Neko and I'm an animator. Well... okay, I've done a little bit of everything: illustrating books and games, graphic design and branding for businesses, motion graphics for advertising, and of course animation. I've produced animation for TV pilots, short films and video games. Being allergic to free time, I'm also a full-time Animation Professor at St. Louis Community College where I head the Graphic Communications Program.
I'm always on the lookout for new opportunities to test my skills. If you've got a project in need of a highly skilled and versatile artist, drop me a line and let's make it happen! |

NewsWatch as I strive to answer the age-old question (as it relates to creating pixel art anyway) in Photoshop (1:03), Clip Studio Paint (6:28), and Gimp (9:13). (More...)
I had the day off yesterday so I decided to carve out a little time to do something different. Between the pixel art and 2d character animation I've been doing a lot of cartoony stuff lately so it was time to dive back into the pseudo-3d world of After Effects particles. I whipped up this little GIF to send to friends and family for the New Year, it was a lot of fun. Happy 2019 everyone!
