Apparently the damage done from the car accident made the engine go out. While the car is insured, I don't have the proper credit to get a new one. I'm still going to work on commissions. Just know that while I work on them I’ll be very sad and very drunk.
Hey guys, my birthday is next month on the 8th. But I figured I'd give you all a gift a bit early. Now until the end of October, you get a 35% off discount on any of my commissions on Ko-fi.

Eric Bauza, bringing people together right now. More than any crooked President or any other politician could hope for.
If there were more people like Eric, the world would be a better place right now. That's how you unite the world. So simple, yet apparently so hard.
Eric truly was one of a kind. He was the first professional VA I met starting in art college and among the first industry friends i made at the same time.
I made this for him for a convention in Burbank today. I never expected it to become a tribute piece.
Rest Easy, Eric.
The day is upon us! Evil Josh & Billy's 20ish Anniversary Star-Spangled Spite-tacular premieres today! How will they adapt to how evils have accelerated in the modern world? Only one way to find out:
Friendly Reminder:
Indie Animation is NOT a competition. Never has and never will be
No matter the skill level, production size, popularity, etc., it’s important to support them all the same
People are making their own projects without any interferences. That should be celebrated!!!
Can somebody tell me when #PortfolioDay is happening throughout the year? I don't have a lot to show this time around, but I want to be prepared for next time.
Honestly, after such a long and costly development time on ep 6, if we can't get our support up to at least $15k a month on patreon we're gonna have to switch to animatic format with the fights animated inbetween.
I can't afford an ep like that again lol.
We still have time to spread the word and get this to where it needs to be. We did it for Coyote Vs. Acme, fucked up with Forgotten Island, let's not go for 1 out of 3!
because they have it in theaters for like 72 fucking hours before tossing it in the fucking bin!!
let a fucking movie earn some goddamn money!! we can't all see a movie within the first damn 5 seconds!!!!!!! they just fucking set every movie up to fail I'M TIRED OF IT
If you're wondering what I meant last night, it's this.
I'm sorry, I absolutely HATE it when people disregard the safety of millions of people who are being laid off due to the merger and choose to participate in this unfunny trend that I genuinely dislike.
Please reconsider your choices.
I wanted to actively yell out some people who are posting cartoon characters being upset over the WB + Paramount merger and then I realized yelling them out only makes it worse and the trend being peer pressure is NOT worth it.
Goodnight.
In time a new animation industry will form, by our hand. But it'll have to be different. The CEOs, Executives, shareholders, AMPTP, tech bros, do have to drown along with our ship they sank. When the chips were down, they showed they weren't capable of doing better. They are ontologically failures.
Really think @mbthomas.bsky.social’s art is great, even if I haven’t commissioned him yet. Hoping to change that soon. For his birthday, for his car and because he’s an awesome artist and guy in general, think about buying a comm from him too.

Not pony tales or cotton tales…
I have a new print for my convention appearances. Starting at @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social and @c2e2.bsky.social you can get this 11x17” Duck Family portrait for only $20. I’ll have 50 copies for each con and they will be available first come, first served.
Two beloved friends of mine who are upstanding, loving, responsible af, smart, have traditional jobs that at this moment are making them so miserable they have to leave or are being forced to. It would be bad *no matter what*; might as well make something you love.
.......I also may or may not of been tipsy the other night and stayed up at ungodly hours on a work night to draw Thomas in drag, because I love torturing myself and my friends. Bugs will always do it better though, LMAO send help
Hey you, the person reading this.
You are special. You are unique. Don't let anyone make you forget that.
No matter how life treats you, it's always worth living. Mistakes only make you stronger with enough time and patience.
So just keep being strong <3
I haven't done one of these in a while and I know a lotta folks like Ayo, so feel free to have at it!
There's no time limit or anything, do it on your own time if/when you feel like it.
I only ask the art stay SFW, and to use #Ayo'26DTYIS so I can find them easily!
