This is a small sampling of the Flash Animation files I created over the last five years. Generally speaking, they were used to advertise the upcoming tours and get the fans riled up. I'm always looking for new and interesting projects, so if you've got one in mind, please drop me a line.

Note: To view these animations, you will need to have Flash Player 9.0 or higher installed. Please take a moment to double check your Flash Player before running the animations.
