A BIT ABOUT ME

​

I design and direct animation. I animate. I shoot live action and I do a fair bit of illustrating. I've been doing these things for over twenty-five years.

 

I guess I create unique viewer experiences blending old school techniques with contemporary visions. I like working on all sorts of projects from big  to small budgets. 

​

I've had the pleasure of working with Passion Pictures, Th1ng, Picasso Pictures, Hibbert Ralph and Red Rover over the years. I've worked with dozens of brilliant agencies and I've even won a few awards. 

​

I live with my two boys, a moody cat, a sullen turtle named Cliff and an enormous upright piano on a quiet street in Toronto, Canada.
