Ten years ago, today, released a game that dramatically changed the course of my life. It's given me friends and relationships I wouldn't have had otherwise, strengthened my bond with many others, and inspired me in so many ways I can't even begin to count. Happy bday Undertale, what a work of art.

Hello from Washington DC, where hundreds of people and what seems like an unreasonable amount of police are assembling for the We Are All DC March This is the first pre-planned, DC-focused protest since the occupation began. Let's see how this goes 🧵

Nelvana, one of Canada’s most biggest animation studios has reportedly shut down after 54 years. (1974-2025). Workers are saying the studio has closed down its doors last Friday.

Any artists or cool people at the con, I'll be at the alley / dealer's den wearing this basically till closing. Keep your eyes open!

Wanted to show off this breakdown from this TINKERHELL scene; it was real important to me that we establish this tiny thing as something truly unnerving when we get a closeup of her face so the post production REALLY went all out on this cut. Take a look!

Seems I missed #portfolioday but if anyone's still checking, I wanna say I'm available for #compositing #editing and #motiongraphics work! I got over 7 years of experience in the animation industry and worked on quite a few shows, and have worked on ad campaigns, youtube channels, you name it!

This animator did a really good job doing what I usually do: taking old manual artwork and animating it. Except they took the idea to completion with a whole commercial for the original Legend of Zelda! Give it a watch, it's very well done.

Sometimes, #animation cuts are just a still image of very detailed #art. When that happens, it only makes sense for me to go a little extra! For one sequence in Castlevania Season 3, I was in charge of plussing a very... intimate moment, so here's some steps that went into that 😳🙈💖 #compositing

Slower breakdown of that one TINKERHELL cut from my reel, so you can get a better look at the steps involved. An example of how far you can take source assets and transform them into something wildly different! Pretty proud of the blood ground FX 🥰 #animation #compositing #horror #vfx #art

Had a blast at that ~industry friends + partners~ event yesterday, yall know the one! There were SO MANY PEOPLE I wish I coulda talked to all of you 😭 met some familiar faces and a bunch of new ones! Anyone I missed, hope I can catch you up some other time~!

One thing that often gets overlooked in the 2D #compositing workflow: Cameras! Sometimes you're provided a rough draft from production / pre-pro, and it's your job to smooth it out & take it to the next level. Check out the results w/ this cut from "The Legend of Vox Machina" Season 2! #animation

for whoever needs to hear it Production needs a union. Artists are not the only people who make these films and they deserve to be protected. #animation

Want to shout out the great work from @cartoonrecruit.com , specifically in that I definitely read all of your posts even if I don't engage with most of them. I'm sure plenty of others do too. SOMEONE is benefitting from these submissions in silence, so please never feel discouraged 💖

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

Here are some shots of my work from Tomb Raider S1!
