I was the Character Designer for ParaNorman.

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.
