Sydney Gardner Intro & Portfolio

Howdy, I’m Sydney Gardner. I am from New York City, and I am a senior IMGD major with a concentration in Tech Art and a minor in Computer Science.

I’ve been making miscellaneous things all my life. I’ve worked digitally in both 2D and 3D. In that world I’d say 2D animation is still my favorite thing to do. In the non-digital world I’ve been into sewing, embroidery, sculpture, needle felting, stamp carving, and jewelry-making. I don’t really have a favorite amongst those, but the jewelry making has been there the longest and the stamp carving is the newest. Those are the two I’ve been doing the most lately. I tend to bounce between projects semi-randomly. Wherever my interest takes me.

A short animated video titled The Heist that I made for my 3D Animation II course.

A little goat walk cycle animation I did for the Student Alumni Society.


I used a milling tool to make some bracelets for my friends back in high school out of brass.


Some of my sewing projects. Made the bee patterns myself and the cat is a modified version of a pattern I bought on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/listing/530921368/cat-sewing-pattern-pdf-fat-cat-plush).

Some stamps I’ve made! I’ve been dabbling in stamp carving and I find making these lil’ guys very fun.

    Impressive – making your own stamps is very neat. I imagine you need to carve a mirrored image into the stamp?
