Soon after graduating, he met his future wife, Elizabeth. With a random dart thrown at a map of the USA, they both moved out to Minneapolis, MN the next year. Go Gophers! With mosquitoes the size of small birds and winter temperatures that make penguins shiver, what’s not to like about Minnesota? It was not long before Evan and Elizabeth were accepted into the northern society and became fluent with the local dialect. Yah sure, you betcha.
Not long after arriving in Minneapolis, Evan had the good fortune join Windlight Studios, a computer animation production studio. Over the years, they gained international recognition for their many talents and works. Evan worked on and animated many pop icon characters… the most famous being the Barbie. The dude knows way more than any adult male should know about Barbie. Eventually, Windlight was acquired and the Minneapolis office was closed. Evan, however, had some fantastic experiences and accolades. He is very proud of the Emmy Award for the animated series “Rolie Polie Olie.”
Back in Boston, Olive Jar Studios hired Evan to head their 3D CG department. OJS was a commercial and film production studio that housed CG, traditional and stop-motion animation departments. Soon, Evan discovered a mad passion for the integration of all these different mediums. After a couple years OJS was sold and closed down. Yes, it happened again.
Evan continues to work in the film and television as a freelance artist. He works independently and has joined together with former colleagues on various commercials. He is very proud of his work on Errol’s Morris’ Oscar winning film “The Fog of War.” Evan also currently teaches animation at both Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and Emerson College.
He also works at LaundroMutt “full time” for the boss, Elizabeth. Evan is the official designer. He has meticulously scrutinized everything from the design of the logo and the colors of the walls, to the placement of the tubs and shape of the divider walls. Yeah, there’s some OCD happening here. When Evan is not working on a production… or at LaundroMutt… or teaching, you can find him engrossed in many different sports and activities. He is an avid rower and continues to play Ultimate. Brumby is a great practice partner. Some other favorite ways to past the time are fly fishing, sailing, tennis, skiing, cooking and sometimes… sleeping.
