It surely has been a LOOOONG time since I've posted. So, I'm kicking off 2012 with my most recent demo reel:

It's in HD, so go full screen with it!  Extra points to any of you who recognize the opening and closing title card references.

I recently moved to New York after having lived in the San Francisco bay area for 14 years. Strangely, since moving, I've reconnected with a lot of people in unexpected ways. I've volunteered with the Asian American Journalists Association, a group I worked with off and on for about 9 years prior to going back to design school.  I'm back training in wushu two to three times a week! That's more wushu than I've done since 2005!

A few AnD related run-ins:

1)  Met up with Dan W. a couple times while he was filming in Manhattan.  Somehow, it works out that we see each other every year or so. It was great to catch up!

2) This week, had dinner with Ben G. and Jeff D., both formerly with Design Reactor, the web development company that spawned Rotten Tomatoes, which then spawned AnD. Hadn't seen Jeff in about 10 years!

Most of the names probably aren't recognizable to most, but their work most definitely is.

Mark Romanek, director of Nine Inch Nails "Closer" and "The Perfect Drug" music videos.  Fiona Apple's "Criminal" and Johnny Cash's "Hurt"

Neil Huxley, art director for "The Watchmen" and "Avatar"

Kid Koala, turntablist and music producer

Jacob Escobedo, VP of Design for The Cartoon Network and Adult Swim

And two of my FAVORITE motion graphics and design studios:  BUCK and Onesize.  Check out their amazing design reels below:
