WRONG ANSWERS ONLY is an interactive show featuring celebrity guests who play games and quizzes while learning about exciting research with the help of a scientific expert.See More

Alma Cook – "Bobby" Music Video

For this project, I was asked to illustrate a living artist for her upcoming, unreleased, single. I was given a storyboard for the plot line of the music video and the client sent me reference images of all the characters and scenes. The project took about 3 months to complete. Within the final 2 weeks of the project, I hired some color artists to help me finish the last couple of batches of work. Overall, I illustrated about 100 figures within 35 files.See More
