Just for the joy of it.
Written, drawn, directed and cut by me — a children’s book about the origins of the Universe and the quantum field, and the animated short that grew out of it. Twenty-five years of making things for other people, and this is the part I make for me.
Uno and the Game of Two.
An illustrated children’s book about the origins of the Universe and the quantum field — the moment One becomes Two, told by two golden-spiral snails named Phi and Bonacci. A child can meet the oldest question in physics as a story, long before anyone calls it physics. Written and illustrated start to finish, published in 2025.
Phi & Bonacci.
The AI-animated companion to Uno. Firefly, ComfyUI, Google Labs and ElevenLabs in the pipeline — concept, illustration, story, direction and edit all mine. Selected to air on the patient channel of Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone.
Nothing was outsourced. Nothing was generated blindly. Every frame was directed.
