A local theme park that moonlights as a hidden base for a migrant alien species is under threat when our protagonist, Addie, discovers their unique food supply is dramatically diminishing. Despite everyone’s reluctance to help, Addie takes the lead to save her species and the theme park, so they can stay on Earth—a place Addie now calls home.

Digital Artist Tan Star launched the Ani-MAY-tion Challenge on Instagram to spark creativity amongst the art community. The challenge was to transform still doodles into animations. I love a good challenge, so here is my collab below! 

Former SVA classmate, Miles Harris, and I collaborated on this spooky fella. Watch him wander through the woods as Miles and I navigated the power of teamwork! 

Life is too short to be thinking about death, but I’m going to do it anyway. I dread that one day I will develop dementia. After losing my grandfather to the disease, I started recording my own memories through my artwork. The act of making puts my irrational fears on pause, despite the fact that they actively ward off nothing.

The subject of my drawings are mass produced items near the center of each page, surrounded by a solid colored background. The simplicity and graphic qualities of each piece is to not tie the memory down to one place or another. It is also to keep the memory isolated, and the lonely feeling of remembering something that someone else has forgotten.
