Work for the Adams County Public Library

I worked full time for the Adams County Public Library. During my time there I had a great time doing many jobs. I worked at the reference desk, conducted story hour, managed patron records, and played bouncer for the junior fight club that sometimes had impromptu meetings in the library. One of my favorite things I was able to do, though, was media work.

I created a new logo for the library:

As well as a few fancy animations to go with it!

I'll post the other three in a separate post! I also did a a few short super hero videos, complete with effects, to promote our summer reading programs. Those will be posted in a separate post as well. Stay tuned!

Back in the Water

It's been a long time since I've updated the blog. I assure you all, it's not because I've stopped creating. Quite the contrary. I've had my fingers in many different venues. Mobile games, marketing campaigns, woodworking, travel media. Hell, I was even a super hero at one point. But I'm ready to make some even bigger changes in my life. My next few posts will be catching everyone up on some of the highlights of the last couple years, and then it will all be forward motion. New adventures await!


.... And by the way, if it wasn't clear from the above message, I am available for work! Animation, graphic design, motion graphics, video, you name it!

Kung Fu Chess

My latest 11 Second Club entry garnered me a 15th place ranking out of 217. That's my best yet! It's very exciting and motivating. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Earlier this year.... in space

Earlier this year I did some animation work with Lightborne Lore, a small studio in Athens, Ohio. Mostly I worked in After Effects. It was a demonstration of a pretty complex concept of space-based solar power that would tackle some of the difficulties that have been discussed in the field. Anyway, here is that video.

A Little Pro Bono

Just recently I created artwork for a few cool guys at the new geek-culture blog The Critical Failure. I recommend it. It's updated regularly and the posts are pretty relevant to my interests at least. The idea of the artwork was that this D&D elf got a such a bad roll of the dice that he shot himself in the foot with his crossbow. Thus, rather than a critical hit, a critical failure. Anyway, check out their blog at TheCriticalFailure.com and let me know what you think in the comments. It's my first time digitally inking with vector software.

Adam Is Now Flashing

Adobe Flashing that is! Hyuk hyuk!

I've worked with Flash a bit in the past, but I figured now was a good time to really delve deeper into the program and learn some new things. I've been learning how to code Java recently and that has transferred over semi-well to coding actionscript. I've been working on both games and animation. For fun, here is a flash version of myself!

From the Dusty Plains!

Who is this handsome devil looming on the horizon?
