  • Hypro “Generations”

    Hypro “Generations”

    We’re all just simple farmers, right?  Well, even if you don’t swing a hoe, you might enjoy these simple storyboards.  Simple drawings to tell a simple story of a simple farming family- passing on the tools of the trade to the next generation of farmers. Here, we use a juxtaposition of shots of dilapidated tractors…

  • John Deere : Gator – Storyboards

    John Deere : Gator – Storyboards

    You’re a manly man, and you need a manly ATV to help with all your manly tasks.  John Deere’s Gator is for you. I worked on this project late in 2013 as I was moving into my house- I remember that time vividly as it was extremely cold in my workshed studio and I didn’t…

  • Taco Bell commercial pitch- Rubik’s Cube

    Taco Bell commercial pitch- Rubik’s Cube

    Here’s some storyboards I did for a pitch for a recent Taco Bell spot. The premise is, you can use an app to order whatever kind of taco bell food item you want, encouraging you to try new items and new combinations.  It’s like having a Taco Bell Rubik’s cube! And here’s the final commercial.…

  • Ugg Boots – Storyboards

    Ugg Boots – Storyboards

    When you see a snowy holiday commercial nowadays, bear in mind that it’s probably produced during the Summer season in Los Angeles, where it never snows.  That’s certainly the case with these two spots I storyboarded. This commercial campaign was produced by Timber, a great company and I love working with these guys, primarily because…

  • “Brave Frontier” Storyboards

    “Brave Frontier” Storyboards

    So, here’s some awesome storyboards I did for a video game commercial- a mobile game app called “Brave Frontier,” which is apparently very popular.  I wish I had more time to play games myself!  Jumped into this project and worked concurrently with some very talented concept artists and directors to establish a very cool look…

  • T-Mobile/iPad Air Storyboards

    T-Mobile/iPad Air Storyboards

    This commercial apparently aired during Superbowl 2014, but I must have missed it.  The concept was, initially, to show closeups of iPad users of all walks of life interacting with their iPad Airs and eventually packing them up into various conveyances and resolve on a single user leaving his home and walking out into the…

  • Kindle “Voyage” Storyboards

    Kindle “Voyage” Storyboards

    Here’s a cool project- Amazon’s new paperwhite Kindle Reader, the Voyage, is so paper-realistic, you just can’t believe it’s not paper.  And thus, the commercial for this device is a kind of paper-craft 3d papery world with classic print text on the paper.  Paper. I did a lot of storyboards/concept frames for this spot- it…

  • A Million Ways to Die in the West / Lizard Lick Towing

    A Million Ways to Die in the West / Lizard Lick Towing

    Here’s a quick fun one- my clients needed shoot boards for a promo synergistically tying in the Tru TV series “Iguana Lick Towing” with Universal Pictures release “A Million Ways to Die in the West.”  It’s like two commercials in one- hey, at least it’s efficient! Nothing particularly remarkable about this job, other than the…

  • Brain Games – Storyboards

    Brain Games – Storyboards

    Brain Games is back!  And I storyboarded the promos for the second season.  These were some of the most challenging spots I’ve ever worked on.  Brain Games is a show about the fun quirks of our minds, and many episodes focus on various kinds of optical illusions.  Well, for this project, we were tasked with…

  • Corvette Stingray Storyboards – “Machine”

    Corvette Stingray Storyboards – “Machine”

    I love doing car commercials- I feel like I draw cars well, and quickly.  Well, my speed was put to the test when I was called to board this commercial. These are “shoot boards,” meaning these are the last draft of the storyboards before shooting starts. Often they are hurried, and rough, because at the…

  • Airborne “Everyday”

    Airborne “Everyday”

    Everybody needs to take Airborne Everyday vitamins everyday, everybody knows that.  Why, no, I’m not a doctor.  I just draw them in commercials. Medical advice aside, this was a pretty simple and fun spot to work on.  Brought a little bit of color to the project with the vitamin “snow” effect, which seemed to work…

  • Call of Duty “Extinction”- Cinematic

    Call of Duty “Extinction”- Cinematic

    Lucky me, I got to work with the very talented folks at The Mill earlier this year, and storyboard their cinematic cutscene that they were doing for the new Call of Duty “Extinction” series.  It’s a DLC expansion game, I believe, which means it’s a smaller, downloadable game, part of a very popular franchise, and…
