A collection of my demo reels from 2012 covering all my creative fields. Thank you for taking the time to view my work.
Have a nice day.

I worked as a digital artist for California Academy of Science's Viz Studio for 4 months on their planetarium film Life: A Cosmic Story

Working for the Viz Studio at California Acedemy of Sciences was a beautiful challenge. Working on a film that would fill the Morrison Planetarium (the largest all-digital planetarium in the world) via 6 projectors was huge responsibility. From animating to render wrangling, I wore many hats.

Started 2012 with my 1st Solo Art Show!

"Everything, from the 7 or so sketchbooks laid out on the tables for inpection, to the careful selection of the prints, and even to the grafitti added to the wall was so expressive of Joaquin that it was clear why the energy and the feeling of the night was so positive and stunning; his pressence in the space, along side his art, was exactly what gave the show the ability to leave an enormous impact on the viewers and guests. I think, perhaps, that Joaquin's show was a fantastic example of the way art can affect us, as a community, in a completely beautiful and cohesive mannor and if we all try to live our lives a little more naked (so to speak), we can create an environment filled with encouragement and understanding."- ReneK 2/03/12

Back when I was working for Slash FX in San Francisco (2009-10) my Art Director Alex Laurant gave my coworker Joya Clark and I the challenge to do some landscapes and I happily obliged.
