Other Creative Things

A stop-animation about bringing life to the lifeless, and the journey from being a single entity to part of a connected group. With some origami magic. Made with my friend Jessica when we were bored over the Christmas season.

Below are images of a makeshift camera rig built out of cardboard, tape, a clothes rack, and some creative thinking.

Inspired by a day-long meditation retreat I attended with friends, I created this image to encompass a phrase I heard that stuck with me.

A dear friend wrote and created a part ethnography and part cookbook of recipes from Oakland restaurants and residents, asking them all - "What will Oakland look like in 10 years?." I helped him create a video for his Kickstarter, illustrations, and production support.

I came across the word "orenda," an Iroquoian word meaning "a mystical force present in all people that empowers them to affect the world." This inspired me to create Mr. Blob, a creative adventurer who travels the world attempting to bring out the 'orenda' in all of us to celebrate life.
