Welcome to my online 3D art and animation portfolio (NANIORETRO), which stands for
NEW ANIMATION ORDER RETRO!
Since high school its been a passion of mine to work on 3D graphics and animation.
Making my own artwork come alive is well worth the time spent slaving away. The past two years
my back has been bent and broken at a CG Boot camp called Digipen. As you can see the effort
was well worth it, my skills are tight and speedy. After Digipen, I spent five months at Cat Daddy
Games. There, I was able to get some professional experience and a product under my belt
(SKATEPARK TYCOON). Heres A little about myself in general.
My hobbies include skateboarding, snowboarding, 3D character design and animation,
drawing, videogames, camping and hiking, roleplaying (if I ever get the time) and homebrewing.
Currently I live in Bellevue Washington. Before I came out to Washington, Minnesota was my home
town. Back there I was in a killer punk rock band called THE WHISKEYDICKS. If I hadn't gone to
Digipen, I'm sure I'd be out on tour with my old band right now.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped me out these last few years:
Mom, Dad, Catie and Megan. To all my friends back home: $eforeal (in the house) Dimitrious, Jay,
Ryan, Rusty, Chris, Tim and Christin. To All my teachers and classmates: Kari, Abbott, Jay, Melvin,
Joel, Raymond, Jim, Tito, Paul, Byron, Chris, Nick, Ryan, Ed, Sue, Daniel and Matt. Anyway, here
are some pics of myself skating (COMING SOON) ENJOY!!!!!
