These are the projects I've worked on.

Experimental time traveling mechanic set in the prehistoricworld of chronologically outsourced fast food!

I completely recreated some of the map artwork for the popular Monsterpocalypse tabletop game and then made my own map.
Depicts a savage, physics-based battle between a unionized construction site and a neighboring scab operation.
A personal philosophy on the general enjoyment of life that I share with the world via a blog and twitter account.
Paper Moon was an awesome collaboration between Infinite Ammo (creator), Flashbang, and Adam Saltsman.
An atmospheric underwater adventure starring a bioluminescent little wonder and its natural enemies.
Totally sweet iPhone continuation of Flashbang's famous "do violent things to velociraptors in large vehicles" series of games.
Centralized destination for Flashbang's games. Everything I've worked on while at Flashbang (and more) is here, ready to play.
Based on a Flashbang inside joke, MCS is a diner-dash parody with complex character technology under the hood.
iPhone port of Flashbang's popular web game. I did mostly technical art on this as we took it from the browser to the iPhone.
Splendid Jetpack dreams of the apatosaurus named Brontosaurus. A dreamy and weirdness-heavy game.
One of the most ridiculous and amazing things I've ever worked on. Arguably Flashbang's most popular game.
XBox 360 LIVE Arcade game I spent two years making a ton of art for. Was officially launched in June 2008.
Collaboration between myself, classmate Julio Sanchez, and Swiss programmer Tomas Petter. Eventually bore a playable demo.
I am regularly inspired by these artists.
