Nickelodeon will be premiering its new game show "BrainSurge" in a week or two. I was hired on to sort of lead along with four other very talented animators just out of art school. The show was a blast to work on. Between the five of us and in just four short months we cranked out hundreds of 30-60 sec animated games that were used on the show floor. The other animators went on to such places as Titmouse, Mattel and Gobelins. I scrounged up a bunch of my production art and made a clip show of animation from some of my games. Be sure to check out the show on Nick!

This is a caricature of Dolly Parton I drew for Tracy, the head editor of the show. =)

I like the girl hopping to the locker scene. Good job! I'm glad you finally show us those clips :)

I'd be interested to see how this would play out in a videogame format. You already have the Italian character in work clothes, so that's half the battle right there.

...And to Gobelins? Wow man, that's gonna be an interesting bar to match up to. I didn't know they hired out the classes there to do commercial work.
