• Grateful Dead "American Beauty" + New Years 2021 Loop
In celebration of the 50-year anniversary of Grateful Dead’s “American Beauty”, I was approached by Grateful Dead via Versus Creative to re-imagine the album artwork as a modernized, animated loop - retaining the original artwork’s features while also bringing new life in a new age.

The words are animated to morph between “American Beauty” / “American Reality” / “Thank you for 50 years”
To celebrate New Years 2021, I was commissioned to create a looping 3D animation to commemorate the occasion, Stealie Skull style. You can view the live Instagram post here, which reached over 115,000 views.
Created with Cinema 4D and Octane Render. Smoke simulated in Houdini.
Below is an earlier iteration of the logo loop.
