Looking forward to Prometheus. I was inspired to sketch the mysterious space jockey.

So I’ve been pretty busy at my new job at WGBH. I’ve been working mainly with the Curious George and Fetch! brands.

First off, I helped make a ton of games for the Curious George brand. The project is called George’s Busy Day, and I worked on a host of flash games making assets, animations, and some gameplay mechanics.

With the Fetch! brand, I first worked on an iphone AR (augmented reality) app called Lunch Rush. It’s a fun little math game which requires you to print out markers and then use your iphone camera to view them. I worked on 2d animations and assets along with the 3d sushis that show up in the AR portion of the game.

Also, check out Spyhounds! A new Fetch! based web centered series with flash games and a cool story! I worked on the games creating assets, animations, gameplay design elements and bits and pieces of the site too!

A sketch of a Flash. Have they had a black Flash yet? Hmm, maybe they should.

Nagai brand Jeegs harvest the power of magnets! Popular among race car drivers, the Steel Jeegs are not actually made out of steel.

Nerv brand EVA-01s. Renown for their superior grip and traction, wearers would also report a ‘synced’ feeling with their shoes. Almost as if they were alive. Despite their popularity, they were discontinued when rumors began circulating that the materials used to make the shoes were of questionable origin. Particularly the proprietary LCL fluid used in the shock absorbing heel.

The Nagai brand Mazin-Go’s were a popular hi-top sneaker in the late 70s. They were rebranded Tran-Zors in the US.

The Priss Special was a Knight Saber branded running shoe made popular in the 80s. Known for it’s lightweight, but ‘hard’ design.

Part of the MCross trainer line, the Skull-1 was notable for its ability to transition from walking to running configurations on the go.
