Motion Graphics Reel - Spring 2018
|
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! |

News
Sorry it's been so long since I've given any sort of update. After the panel at Archon my team and I had a LOT to process, discuss, and figure out how to implement. Thank you again to everyone who was there for your great feedback, it's really been helpful! We're now in full production mode on PlotQuest so updates will be coming much more regularly now.
The storyboards for Episode 1 are up as well as some more concept art and info on our heroine, Ivy. You can find all on our production blog. More art coming soon! 
After many, many nights and weekends "PlotQuest" is finally ready for the world! Well... at least the small part the world that happens to be at a Sci-Fi convention in St. Louis this weekend. The Popcorn Sundae team and I will be doing a pre-release screening this weekend at Archon 42. (Continue reading...)
* My production blog has kind of become my catch-all. Anything I work on goes there first. My intention is to sort it onto a proper portfolio... at some point.
