It's almost 2018 ... and definitely time to update my profile image!
Doodles
Doodle
A few weeks ago I began working as a character and storyboard artist on an animated feature film called Spiked. I've been drawing a lot but of course I'm not able to share what I'm working on yet, so here's a little doodle I drew today!
