EP. 1 OF AN EPIC HISTORY SERIES 🎬
I’m so freaking excited to start showing the world my massive collection of antique physical media. With over 100,000 slide photos & almost 1,000 Life magazines, I have an archive of interesting and nostalgic snapshots of American & world history
I’ve always been a history buff, and a proud animator - and so this series is combining my two passions - to hopefully create something many people will love & learn a lot from!! This is a huge passion project for me, and I hope you stick around to watch me bring my history collection to LIFE

Ep. 1 of my new history series “LIFE In The Margins” where we look at America’s past, through the lens of the Media that was being published in the early 1900’s.
When you read what was in these early editions of what was Americas most popular magazine - it becomes apparent why it took our country so long to make any real progress, the media being consumed by the masses reinforced so much prejudiced ideology. And we are going to explore that in this series!!
Life Magazine essentially created “photo-journalism” and revolutionized the photography industry, they were first ever magazine to format the entire thing like a photo essay. So a lot of modern day artists have a lot owe to this publication, but as a weekly magazine that’s been running since 1936… they captured all the growing pains we went through as a nation (my nice way of saying they were basically white nationalistic propaganda).
I’m mixing my love of animation & and history together to produce this passion-project of a series. I can’t wait to show you more of this amazing history collection and to tell you the wild stories that come out of it!!

Café Terrace At Night, but with an extra shot of espresso… #AdobePartner
In honor of the upcoming Adobe MAX, I challenged myself to utilize as many vfx tricks in 1 video as possible. We got lightning, Parallaxes, Custom Interfaces, explosions, motion graphics, every glow effect known to mankind, etc. Let this video represent all the different creative lessons you can learn at Adobe MAX ✨🤍 keep reading to see my breakdown and REGISTER FOR #AdobeMAX
I wanted the painting scene to be slow and beautiful - so we had to get there in an epic fashion to have that nice slow payoff. Side note: I had no idea how I was going to animate the beginning, but In my head, the inspiration for the intro was acting like I had just hit a Mario Kart box.
As you probably know this is one of Vincent Van Gogh’s most iconic paintings, what’s even more interesting is that THIS PAINTING… was the first time he ever created the iconic Van Gogh Sky - this would begin a series of paintings where he would depict beautiful night-skies, filled with stars. This piece of art was actually the first in a series of paintings that would lead Van Gogh to make his most notable piece of work - the Starry night!! So there is no Starry night without first creating Café Terrace!!
Quick fun facts about this painting:
1. You can visit the cafe Van Gogh painted in this scene, it’s in the south of France in a town called “Arles Place Du Forum”
2. Current est. price: 200 million dollars
3. Painted in 1888

These are Unseen Photos of the Twin Towers 🏙️
I collect old film slides, and recently discovered a family’s vacation photos from New York when They visited in 1973. The photos are amazing because they captured so many with the Twin Towers in the background.
I scanned them and used After Effects to turn them into photo animations, bringing these important memories back to life, in honor of Sept 11th.

Some things don’t age well… like this story about Steve Hannagan! He was a publicist in the early 1900’s who targeted young high school girls for his big business of publishing bathing suit photos
I absolutely love collecting and reading these old LIFE magazines they’re endlessly fascinating to me - discovering what was normalized in the 30’s is always shocking.
I hope you like this series where I bring these old stories to LIFE #history #vfx #vintage #americanhistory

The President says American museums are “too negative.”
So I went back 90 years and animated myself into LIFE magazines from the 1930s to see what the country was publishing when nobody was worried about making history look bad.
It’s important to note this was before television existed and so these photo journalistic magazines were Americans window into the world!
The racism wasn’t hidden. The prejudice wasn’t subtle. It was printed, photographed, and sold as normal American life.
History doesn’t need better PR. It needs to be told honestly!!
