4 Bad Girls
4 Bad Girls
This is a wallpaper I made of four characters who try to survive a zombie apocalypse. Because everyone loves zombie apocalypses, right? Currently the characters are named after Left 4 Dead zombies. In the lower left is "Charger," the all-too-serious leader and mother figure of the group. In the lower right is "Hunter," the excitable and reckless traceuse. In the upper right is "Smoker," the anti-social snark. And in the upper left is "Jockey," a girl who's a little "off" thanks to all the trauma around her. "Hunter" and "Smoker" were created by Zarla, while the other two were created by me. You can find out more about the characters here and here.

Notorious Advertangler
This is a profile for a silly little monster I made up. A poster of this was shown at the Altered Esthetics gallery in Minneapolis, MN. Someone apparently bought it, too! Yay!
Chocolate-Eating Monster
Chocolate-Eating Monster
A sticker design for The F Plus, a podcast about absurd, twisted, or otherwise bizarre websites. The scene was based on a line from a particularly weird piece of fiction featured in one episode.
Jazaaboo the Duck-Monster
Jazaaboo the Duck-Monster
Jazaaboo! She's an insane, rambling, annoying, loud, obnoxious, reactionary jerk. We have a lot in common.
Ornate Rock of the Rock
Ornate Rock of the Rock
A profile for another silly monster I made up. A poster of this was shown during the Altered Esthetics gallery's rock-themed fundraiser.
Awesome Games Done Quick Banners
Awesome Games Done Quick Banners
Several banners made for Speed Demos Archive for their "Awesome Games Done Quick" video game marathon. SDA hosts videos of the fastest speedruns, and everyone there joined forces to beat a whopping 100 games in a mere 4 days. All of this was to raise money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. It was a huge success, too! Way to go, people!
The Speed Gamers Star Wars Poster
The Speed Gamers Star Wars Poster
Chances are if you're here, you've seen a Speed Gamers marathon. But if not, here's what they do: The Speed Gamers play video game marathons as a live show for charity. The marathons usually have a theme, and the games are complemented by commentary, stunts, contests, and prize giveaways. They've raised a total of about $300,000 in the three years they've been active! This poster was designed for their Star Wars marathon, and is intended to be given out as a prize. The art in it was also used for the site's banners and promotional videos! Hooray for consistent designs!
Challenging the Blizzard
Challenging the Blizzard
Some time ago someone pointed me to a Pokémon-themed art contest, and I figured to just have some fun and enter. However, nobody said I had to take it seriously, so the character I entered was King Rex Caesar, the rock-stupid goofball with questionable problem-solving skills. The contest's first art challenge involved drawing a Pokémon trainer braving a huge snowstorm in order to find a beacon. Clearly this meant I had to draw my idiot character looking for anything but a beacon.
Wilhelm, Zee, and the Giant Cactus
Wilhelm, Zee, and the Giant Cactus
Wilhelm is a knife-wielding tempura shrimp. Zee is a flying blueberry. They starred in a bunch of Flash cartoons I made. Here they're scaling a huge cactus, as they're the only heroes small enough to walk AROUND the deadly spikes.

Just a Flash demo reel, featuring my favorite thing ever... ADORABLE MONSTERS!
Fake Dinosaur
Fake Dinosaur
Something I made in Flash, just to see if I could. It started off as just the eyeball, but I kept adding more and more to it until it turned into this pseudo-dinosaur-thing.
Pokémon Ok!
Pokémon Ok!
A promo video I did for The Speed Gamers' week-long Pokémon marathon, raising money for ACT Today. My friends voiced all the characters. My goal was to make a cartoon that was entertaining, even to people who never played the games. Regardless, that didn't stop me from putting in a ton of nerdy references in the background. The music is by Dasgust.
2.B.A. Master
2.B.A. Master
Another promo video for The Speed Gamers. This was made for their Pokémon "Gotta Catch 'Em All Retrothon," where they played the first two generations of Pokémon games in an effort to catch the first 251 creatures. The song is from a CD that was produced when Pokémon first hit America, and the video features at least one Pokémon from every evolutionary line in the first generation of games. It's pretty cute, don't you think? Also, I don't think I've said "Pokémon" in this description enough times, so here are a few more: Pokémon, Pokémon, Pokémon.
Clockwork
Clockwork
A "VG Flash" cartoon, starring Wilhelm the shrimp and Zee the blueberry. VG Flash cartoons are just shorts I made to promote The Speed Gamers' various charity marathons. They always star these two characters and are set to video game music. This particular short throws them into the middle of a huge clock, set to "Clockwork" from Castlevania Judgment. You can find all my VG Flash cartoons here.
Snowboard Cross
Snowboard Cross
A VG Flash created for Obligatory Ice Level Day, a month-long event leading up to The Speed Gamers' December charity marathon. As you may have noticed by now, the characters sometimes change styles from short to short. This time I tried for a more traditional Flash design. In this cartoon, Wilhelm and Zee have fun snowboarding around. Some people have asked if I used any 3-D in one scene (you'll know it when you see it,) but it's 100% Flash. The song is "DK Summit" from Mario Kart Wii.
The Penitent
The Penitent
A VG Flash? Again? SURE WHY NOT. This is one of the oldest in the series, but it's still one of my favorites. Wilhelm the shrimp and Zee the blueberry prove that cute characters have everything to do with horror game themes. The song is "The Penitent," from Eternal Darkness.
Humoresque of a Little Dog
Humoresque of a Little Dog
Another VG Flash cartoon, this time for The Speed Gamers' Mother/Earthbound marathon. Wilhelm the shrimp and Zee the blueberry hold auditions for their roles in a future cartoon, with goofy results. The music is "Humoresque of a Little Dog," from Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

A video I did for the F+ podcast over the course of a few days. I just took a short sample from one of the episodes and animated it. I tried to clear up any confusion by visually distinguishing the readers from the material being read. Because, you know, the subject matter isn't confusing on its own or anything.
