About me:

I'm a happy workaholic, a student of everyday life and I love what I do :) For all you networkin' types, I'm putting up a bio that pretty much sums up the career side of things so far. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Todd began his career in traditional hand-drawn cel animation, creating many recognizable works for television. His animation has appeared on MTV, BET, FUSE, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Nickelodeon, PBS, TNT, TBS, the WB, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Saturday Night Live. In addition to having directed and animated over 100 commercial spots, his work has received numerous awards. A nomination for “Best Music Video of the Year” at the 2000 MTV Music Awards and the 2000 BET Music Awards was given for Toni Braxton's music video "Man Enough", which featured an intro that he animated and designed. His work has been shown in film festivals worldwide, and helped pioneer the very first “Flash” broadcast animation and music video for the Grammy winning hip-hop group "The Roots". He has produced his own toys through the Hong Kong urban vinyl movement, and has designed toys for bands including the animated rock group the “Gorillaz” and legendary punk band “The Misfits”. Todd attended Douglas Anderson School of the Arts and holds a BFA in Painting from the Atlanta College of Art. Residencies include the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design, NYSP. He lives and works in New York City. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ .. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ .. This is a showreel featuring some of my work from over the years... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ .. This was a short demo created for Outkast. Was originally planned as part of a video backdrop for their "Stankonia" tour. Never saw the light of day due to budget cuts :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ .. I directed this one. It's amazing what you can create when you have a great team working with you. I still love the overall feel of this holiday piece... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ .. One of my recent favorites, work on this included animation, character design and background design. 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
