Just in time for the holiday season, I made this drawing of a very festive Aunt Gladys!

I was the Character Designer for ParaNorman.

I worked closely with the legendary sculptor, Kent Melton, who sculpted directly from my character sketches.

These are my concept sketches for the Puritans and Zombies

Judge Hopkins

My concept drawing for living Puritan Judge Hopkins.  My inspiration for him was based from one of my most favorite films ever, Bram Stoker's Dracula, the old manifestation of Dracula.

I had the privilege of doing some early concept character design for The Twits, which comes out October 17th on Netflix.  Here is a drawing I made for Mrs Twit.

Mrs Twit, being very fabulous in her furs while holding her long cigarette holder.

For this drawing, I thought that Mrs Twit could be an amazing, eccentric old woman just like one of my most favorite characters: Anne Bancroft as Ms Dinsmoor in the film, Great Expectations.
