This little planet may soon shake us off like fleas. It really doesn’t matter, and I bet the trees won’t miss us, but I bet the earth will breathe a sigh of relief as she erodes this condom of concrete that we imposed upon her.
Trust, drugs, love, religion, homelessness, selfless acts, aliens, gun violence, tech, porn, nature and industry are all interconnected. It’s this fabric, or web that weaves through us on both sides of reality. Transcending our perceived reality to tie all forms together in an ever-changing dance of tension and vacuum.
Ye of little significance, you of infinite importance. You loose vibration, young child, fiending young adults, happy fat ignorant bald old matriarch.
Stay here and brew your impending pain and elation, you sloppy ballistic joy!

In celebration of JAY-Z’s pioneering and landmark debut album, ‘Reasonable Doubt’, @sothebys sold an NFT of original digital art by critically admired American artist @derrickadamsny. Derrick hired me as Animation Director to make his painting come to life!
Commissioned by JAY-Z, the one-of-one animated digital artwork titled, ‘Heir to the Throne’, comments on and recontextualizes the album cover of the legendary artist and entrepreneur. The auction is the only official event authorized by JAY-Z to commemorate ‘Reasonable Doubt’s’ historic 25th anniversary and a portion of the proceeds from the sale will benefit the @shawncartersf .

During the pandemic I started a YouTube surf Vlog called “Rainbow Timothy’s Vloggy” I mixed my irreverent sense of humor with surfing, food, friends and I tied it all together with animated garnish. I hope you enjoy it!

Animation direction is a passion of mine! I have been lucky enough to work with some awesome creatives to realize their concepts, from idea-workshopping to final video completion.
I worked as Animation Director on the film Push My Buttons. It was written and directed by Natalia Kent. Natalia hired me to help her realize her concept for the film “Push My Buttons”, It was a big team with a lot of moving parts, but Natalia was very happy with the finished product. Enjoy
I made this music video “Now Way Out” for Brooklyn band None Above All. I started with a live performance footage. I chopped that up and abstracted it through the layering of various experimental 2D techniques. They were very happy with the high energy, experimental, hand-made feel of the video
Here is the link to “Push My Buttons”
