This collection of work spans both personal and commissioned animation projects, from 2016 to present.

In 1979, photojournalist Susan Meiselas took a photo of a Nicaraguan rebel throwing a molotov cocktail made from a Pepsi bottle.

Eagerly disseminated by the Sandinistas, Molotov Man soon became ubiquitous throughout Nicaragua, appearing on matchbooks,
T-shirts, billboards and brochures.

These wars are situations of ongoing tension that may escalate at any moment; this piece critiques the United States Armed Forces interventions in foreign nations.
