VIDEO/ANIMATION

Animation is one of my absolute favorite things to work with.
I use subtle character acting, memorable storyboarding, sound design, and bold colors to bring living emotion into my work. I am experienced with Toon Boom Harmony and Blender, am getting to know Adobe After Effects, and am always willing to pick up a new technique to get things moving!

Slideshow Name

Harbor City, WV

Animated webseries that I direct, write, animate, and edit. The series is heavily inspired by adventure games and my experiences in the rural south as a young queer person. The sense of humor and attention to detail here is what I try to achieve with all my work.

2D Animation Reel

Some clips created using Toon Boom Harmony, others Krita. I specialize in animating dialogue scenes, and really enjoy bringing texture and painterly aesthetics to my 2D animated projects.

3D Animation Reel

Created in Blender. All characters modelled, rigged, and textured by me. Examples here show character animation for games, dialogue scenes, & some scenes from a music video. I enjoy using stop-motion style movement for a lot of my 3D animated work.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

I really enjoy finding the visual brand that suits a client’s concepts and replicating it across a portfolio of material. As a designer, I always try to think of the connections that can be drawn between concepts, and even different media, to communicate an idea clearly. I’ve got a lot of experience in Adobe Illustrator, Canva, Figma, and use my other knowledge of other software for graphic design as well.

Apparel Design

Examples of apparel design work with clients and other projects. Primarily I design for screenprinting, but there are some examples of sublimation designs here too.

Logo Design

In my logo designs, I often embrace kinetic energy and motion to create visual identity.

Poster Designs

I’m very interested in keeping clear informational hierarchy while still allowing for a lot of visual motion and activated space when I design posters.

Social Media / Publication Design

When designing for social media and publications, I try to be visually fun while still leaving a lot of breathing room for the information.

Sticker Designs

I often enjoy using illustration in my sticker designs – it’s always a good time making fun bite-sized designs.

OTHER PROJECTS

I keep myself busy taking on a lot of mediums.
Here are some of my other skills and interests apart from animation and design. I love to mix fields of knowledge and different artistic formats to create work, so you’ll be seeing a lot of overlap in the projects here.

Digital Illustration

Digital Illustration

Traditional Illustration

Environmental Design

I’ve gotten more invested in environmental design with Blender as part of Harbor City, WV. I really enjoy designing interior spaces and green carpet.

STEAM Trek

A game development and community outreach project I got to develop with WV Alliance for STEM and the Arts, sharing educational resources from organizations around the state and beyond for students, educators, and lifelong learners in a gamified format. Check it out for yourself!

Sculpture

I really enjoy mixing 2D and 3D elements in my sculptural work, giving it an illustrative aesthetic with maximalist detail work.

Joshua White is an artist who creates work that connects design, animation, and 3D work both virtual and physical with the subtle nature of relationships and interpersonal normalcy. He’s done a lot of volunteer work with organizations advocating for students and the arts, developed and is currently working on an animated webseries called Harbor City, WV, and currently works as a graphic designer at a local printing company. When he’s not working, he’s either playing old point-and-click games, talking about art with his friends, or pursuing a new unreasonable project. He tells a good joke every week or so.
