About

Hi, I’m Shane! I’m an accomplished Illustrator, Animator and Painter based in North Florida (somewhere between the city and rural life).

I like to work in a variety of mediums, traditional as well as digital, to find the best aesthetic for a brand or project’s message.

My creative endeavors are varied and constantly expanding. I dig horror, and science fiction, which are reflected in my sequential work, filmmaking, and poster designs. I love to paint plein air, enjoy the creative expression of street art, and get a real kick out of illustrating children’s stories.

I’ve built a solid reputation for innovative commercial work, designing and animating visual campaigns for some pretty awesome brands. And whether I’m tinkering in the studio, creating picture books, or designing for packaging and animation, my approach is rooted in craft—with a style that’s evolved through years of training, hard work, and cooperative interaction.

Additionally, I’ve been a Film Festival Director and Instructor, celebrating animation and creating platforms for others to show their work. Lots of hats—all centered in the arts.

Most of all, I enjoy spending time with my wife and pups watching movies and getting away from it all in our vintage camper. Family is everything.

That’s me in a nutshell. For any projects, collaborations, or commission inquiries, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!
