another year, another happy birthday to meee 🎉
(the 28 is now 34)

Heads up: I'm looking for work! 👀

If you need rough animation, storyboards, Flash/Animate rigs, direction, or help with almost anything in the 2D animation pipeline, please consider reaching out!
I've got over nine years of industry experience. If you need it, let's talk! ❤️

was feeling nostalgic for the animated Cuphead short I never finished, so I dug back into my files and tidied up and colored my favorite gag in the whole thing. :3

I don't know why I put off using my copy of TVPaint for ten years, I started using it for roughs this week and making little bounces and dances and it's so good, why on earth did I never use this program for anything until now

today was a "messing around in flipnote studio 3D" kinda day

finally got back around to doing some storyboarding for one of my Doog cartoons tonight!

lots of classic reindeer games going on here, exactly as we remember them ✨

here's my roughs for Monkey Wrench episode 5! This became one of my all-time favorite animation gigs yet. It was a rare moment to try my hand at drama instead of comedy and reminded me of why I love this job, despite everything. 💖

Huge thanks as always to @zeurel.bsky.social for the opportunity!
