Revised Gary Soto Kitchen

Cinequest Trailer BGs

Backgrounds done in UPA and cinematic style for the Cinequest Film Festival 2011 commercial. Storyboard layouts by: Michael Fong. Our vis dev/ background team included Wilbur Liang, Christine Nguyen, and me, with Priscilla Wong as our unofficial lead. I learned a lot while painting these backgrounds, making this winter break a very productive and fulfilling few weeks.

Pimp My Truck Assignment

Work-in-progress moment piece. This is an old truck I turned into a traveling Beatnik coffee shop called, "Beats, Beans, and Streets."

Witches Cabin: Hansel and Gretal

This cabin design is still in the works. I plan to improve the design and finish painting the environment

Crew of You Project

The Crew of You project was done in my creative illustration class taught by Barron Storey. We were supposed to design six characters that represent different aspects of ourselves. Barron had us create a story, environment, and a model of a stage design for our characters. In this moment piece, my creatures, who live in a tree, must escape their hollow trunk because the entire society is being destroyed.
