I really enjoy working with the Assembly iPhone app to make iPhone background images for myself, friends, and family members.

a decorative game sheet consisting of a mother whale and a baby whale, swimming along at the top of the sheet, spraying water out happily with smiles, some written instructions, and rows of empty spaces to write names that begin with the corresponding letters

My wife was helping to plan a friend of our's baby shower and needed a decorative game sheet to make the experience a little more special.

This stop-motion video was a class project I did for a Time Based Art class (Art 118) at Clark College during the Winter of 2015. I chose the subjects and plot knowing they would be fun for my kids to watch.
