Chapter 5: MIRROR/MIRROR

Agents of SANTA

As any creative professional can attest there are projects we are part of that do not always see wide, commercial or plain-old release. Through a multitude of reasons these projects sit quietly on our hard-drives known only to us. This section is dedicated to those honorable mentions.

Constructed as a GI Joe parody Agents of Santa was the most involved series I ever constructed. Imagery, consistency and costuming in this ensemble cast required perfect harmony.

Using small character inserts, the series would have sported a cast of over 100 unique characters.

A Supernatural, Bayou 70s-Exploitation series set in Louisiana. VooDoo Queens centers on a corrupt family looking to seize control of all illicit activity in the deep South.

The character designs were inspired by the work of Chester Gould. Characters with singularly defining features.

The series required a great deal of understanding of Southern culture and VooDoo practices. Living in New Orleans at the time of development I was able to accomplish much of my research first hand.
