I just recently learned this site finally supports video posting, so I'm gonna start rolling out my animations here. I thought it would be fitting to start with this throwback from 2020. 🐉✨ #animation #animator #characteranimation #2Danimation

Do you ever wonder what in the world a retake animator does? Here are some examples of my animation retake work on #HauntedHotel Season 2! Titmouse Vancouver was responsible for the original takes, and our retake team at Titmouse LA were tasked with plussing it up! 😈💃

Happy to share that I got to work in animation retakes on Haunted Hotel season 2, and they just dropped a teaser. Check out the full show on Netflix! youtu.be/hXhrjlwL4vw?...

Forgot to share that the first few episodes of Season 4 of "The Legend of Vox Machina" dropped this month! I had a fantastic time working on this show as a Retakes Animator, so if you're a fan of a good D&D story then be sure to go check it out on Amazon Prime Video! 💃 ✨ youtu.be/FkqIXFztj6Q

If you haven't seen it already, the first episode of "Among Us" is FREE to watch on YouTube! Go check it out on the link below! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on it 💃 youtu.be/gDq4g_jzmGg?...

The Among Us show was just reveled on Summer Game Fest 2026! I had the pleasure of working in animation retakes on the Among Us show with a fantastic team at Titmouse. Go check it out on Paramount+!!!

Went on a trip recently and doodled these on a couple of my flights! ✨ #sketch #characterart

Got busy on The Legend of Vox Machina at Titmouse starting this week! 💃 (For anyone looking to hire, my availability now starts in November.) Decided to doodle this in my free time today as a sort of cooldown after the busy past few days. Not sure if I'll finish it. ✨

I'm wrapping on my Retakes Animator position on "Golden Axe" with Titmouse and looking for studio work! I'm a 2D Character and FX Animator. Past work: X-Men 97', Hi-Fi Rush, Date Everything, Supreme, and SO MUCH more! 🎨Portfolio/Resume and Email in bio!📷 #2DAnimator #2DFX #CharacterAnimator

Hey. So, my building caught fire and there’s a lot of shit that we need to fix. This is my family’s theater building. One of the apartments above it across from mine caught fire. We have smoke, fire, water damage, and busted doors. Pls help if u can. gofund.me/290368ea

It has been brought to my attention that someone is scamming people via Discord using my werewolf animation as an "example" of their animation commissions. If you receive anything of this nature, IT IS A SCAM! I NEVER advertise my work that way and only do business via my official business email.

Valentine's Day gift I drew recently for my partner! 💕 #digitalart #freelance #characterart

Hey everyone! ✨ I've been receiving a LOT of emails asking about commissions. Here's a bit of info for you all for now. I'll post more updates regarding commissions later on when I have the time to focus on it:

It was such an incredible experience getting to work with Maelene to make this amazing piece of animation!! ✨ If you like what you see, stay tuned because there are announcements on the way about a big project for this character! 👀 #werewolfwednesday #ttofnm #myocs

Tied down roughs vs final comp for my shot on the Supreme project. This shot went through a few different iterations before the final. The roughs you see here aren't even the first haha 🏇🐍 -- #freelance #animation #2Danimation #animator #characteranimation

Hey all you new followers! Did you know I also do a bit of compositing work? It's not a field I ever planned to be experienced in, but after so many short videos through Knights of the Ligh Table, here we are! Here's how I handled the Eyeball shot in the Frazetta commercial!

Huge shout out to @iceartz.bsky.social for helping clean and tone this animation with me, and for adding hair and reigns to the horse! Also need to give @sstarkm.bsky.social a big thanks for his amazing work at creating the 3d environment for this shot!

Storyboards - Final If I had a nickle for everytime I've animated a 3d camera rotation of a weapon wielding rider riding on a mount, I'd have two nickles! Which isn't a lot, but it's wierd that it's happened twice.

www.instagram.com/supremenewyo... Was great getting to direct this lil' #Frazetta inspired short for #Supreme with a bunch of my friends, and to try out some new tricks and tools I've been ruminating on!

I got to animate on this with a fantastic group of artists! Also assisted with some cleanup/color. Go check it out! 🔥🏇🐍 -- #Supreme #animation #2Danimation

This is an experimental animation test I made back in 2023 which combines character transformation with smoke FX animation. I'd love to do more animations like this in the future! Could be fun to do a fully cleaned and composited test someday when I have the time. #animator #2DFX #FXanimation
