Cheese Whizard Pop-Up
For my senior thesis project I proposed for myself to continue my abandoned animation pitch from high school “Cheese Whizard” through the form of a pop-up shop/solo art gallery. I also designed and sold items such as stationary, stickers and clothes.
Cheese Whizard Animation
A animation that I made for the gallery that was originally 2:30 long but after hospitalization had to be cut down to 1:33 due to time constraints.
I wanted to be able to highlight some of the plot points that Cheese Whizard would eventually touch on and also the character dynamics between the main four.

WORKS
Pieces of Cheese Whizard that I’ve made over the years that were featured at the show. Most were done in a range of Adobe Photoshop, Paint Tool Sai and Clip Paint Studio. You can notice over the years that Cheese Whizard’s design consistently changes as I change as well.
“Cheese Whizard is a story about identity, self-confidence and friendship.”
MERCHANDISE
I also handmade and designed letter sets (stationary paper and envelopes), stickers and t-shirts that were for sell at the closing reception.
Stationary Design
Along with the standard Cheese Whizard stickers I had designed I wanted to make a product that I purchase in my free time: letter sets.

T-Shirt Designs
All T-shirts were hand pressed and weeded through vinyl and love.
Left: “All Together Now” The goal behind this shirt was to showcase the Cheese Whizard main cast in a simple and doodle style.
Right: “Cheese Dust” Previously I had never designed a long sleeve pocket design before so I wanted to incorporate the pocket to the design. Here we have Cheese Whizard’s familiar Ched flying out of the shirt pocket.
