I had the pleasure of developing the look and feel of The End is Nye in the original pitch deck. It’s not often that a logo makes it all the way from the pitch to the finished product, but this one seemed to thrive.
After the pitch was sold, I was asked to return to art direct the title sequence, creating a storyboard sequence with style frames inspired by Maurice Binder’s brilliant James Bond opening credits.
I’m looking forward to sharing that work when it is released.

A series of 30+ Dungeons & Dragons branded novels provided an extraordinary challenge to establish a line look for titles of different lengths, not to mention integrating custom artwork to capture the heart of each novel.
With co-art director Shauna Narciso, Carina Tous and I created a flexible and dynamic line look that could be applied to each title and made to interact with the artwork. The series is grouped by trilogy and quartet with color coding and a consistent frame for exquisite artwork.
For The Icewind Dale Trilogy, I art directed the inimitable Anna Podeworna from concept to completion.

A pitch document, also known as a show bible or pitch bible, is a compilation of premise, story, characters, environments and images in a form that can be presented during a pitch, as well as left behind with the prospect (such as Netflix or HBO).
This pitch bible for the show, UNIVERSE CITY was created over ten weeks on-site at The Jim Henson Studio Lot in Hollywood under the guidance of Vince Raisa and Brian Henson. I contracted fifteen exceptional concept artists to help bring our vision of Universe City to life and then created a presentation and book version of the pitch.
