Custom Hand-Painted Lyric Videos

The videos shown here were made with a series of hand-painted panels, using either acrylic or ink brush and watercolor, with animated text overlayed. The artwork is meant to accompany the lyrics with an intentional narrative arc, and occasionally incorporates stop motion and live video. If you are interested in having a video made for your release, it is helpful to have a minimum of 3-6 months lead time. Please drop me a line if you’d like more info.
