Innovation from Oddtoe

All Industries Need Creative Thinking

My background is in cartooning and data visualization so you’ll see those influences in my humor, art, and way of thinking.

VISUALIZATIONS to AMUSE

This is the “About Oddtoe” section, so I might as well show you around. I like and do a lot of types of art. Some of the favorites are street Art, projection Art, animation (Oddtoe TV), and installation Art.

The analog world...

Built Environments

PHYSICAL THINGS of WHIMSY

Short of architecture itself, I like to get into garden and park design and sculpture. I have been known to fancy a bit of topiary, too, therefore I design with its organic shapes in mind. I believe we can make quirkier and more memorable public spaces.

Three Dimensional & A.I.

DEEPER DIVES

I love a good third dimension and I also think I’m lucky to live in this new era of artificial intelligence. Those are two things you should know about me. Sculpture, animation, and prop art design are what I’m into — all visual art that leverages 3D and AI, if needed.

About Oddtoe

Since 1996, I’ve been running my illustration, animations, and comedic writing under the pseudonym, Oddtoe.

Since the pandemic in 2020, Oddtoe has taken on new forms. Gone is my pen-and-ink style of illustration. I picked up an iPad Pro and experimented heavily with digital caricature and imaging compositing.

I’m loving the result and the new tools in this new pipeline of work.

Oddtoe as a business pairs up nicely alongside my agency, Datalabs. As part of my parent company, Data Arts, Oddtoe is taking on studio animation and 3d design projects.

And of course, my interest in storytelling is across both brands.

The Oddtoe Sweet Spot

Humor, 3d, & Characters

Three-dimensional modeling is what sets up the imagery and animation I create as Oddtoe. Dimensional data is the underlying and reusable asset for character designs and background art.

From an OBJ or FBX model, the value proposition of the studio I run is that visual stories can be told at scale. Generative AI is certainly taking a role in ideation. And with a background in data, I’m able to run a full-scale animation and design firm with limited overhead. You’ll see in the spread of art and design that I can do, a near-full range of what I’ve always been itching to produce, but doesn’t fit as neatly in a data visualization agency.

An example of weird art, this images is a close-up portrait for a stained glass window in a residential renovation of an old Catholic church.
The Top 100 Comedians of All Time Will Be Bots. What do I mean by that? In terms of my personal preference, I'm curious to see what generative A.I. will come up with. A million more comedians cracking jokes. More jokes, more laughter. And more laughter in the world isn't a bad thing.
