Welcome to, well, To The J-Squared! On this website, you will find a myriad of art and animations that are produced and published by the artist J-Squared.
Animations
Over the course of my college career, I have had the pleasure of creating a diverse array of animated projects. Ranging from 2D to 3D to even Stop Motion, I strive to push action and expression through my works.
Demo Reel (2022 - present)
"Cookie" Character Design and Cutout Storyboards (Spring 2025)
A Sprinkle of Wallace (Fall 2024 - present)
Currently in the works is A Sprinkle of Wallace, my animated senior thesis. This 2D animated short film follows Sprinkles, the youngest kitten of the litter, as she tries to get her siblings' attention with her ice skating performance, but the more she tries to grab their attention, the more things go awry. The focus of this project is expressive character animation while sharing a comedic and heartfelt story.

Table 2 Table (Spring 2025 - Present)
Table 2 Table is a teen-rated 2D animated pilot co-created by me and my dear friend, Jordan W. The series follows a ragtag crew of employees who sell used / partially eaten food to the rich. Each day, the crew encounters a plethora of wacky customers as they pull off various scams in the hopes of getting rich!
King Scribble - Game Assets (Spring 2025 - Present)
Starting in January 2025, I had the honor of creating some of the art, assets, and animations for King Scribble. Created and directed by my good friend Evan M., this cozy 2D puzzle platformer follows the titular king being whisked away from his kingdom and must use a host of magical supplies to return home. From drawing platforms with the Pencil to creating physics-based objects with the Pen, King Scribble provides a unique gaming experience you will surely enjoy! If you would like to learn more about this Indie Project, please check out our website.
Initially, I assumed the role of Art Lead for the game and animated nearly all of King Scribble's sprite animations, as well as creating some of the sprite icons, including a few of the items and "Scribble Meter". I even composed some of the earlier tracks for the game. Currently, I am a freelance animator and continue to create vibrant player animations for the game. It is truly an honor to work with such a passionate team, and we can't wait for you to play our game!
