I was in Western Australia for my brothers wedding back in October. During that time I packaged 75 kgs of stuff from my parents place to send over to Melbourne. Books, CDs, vinyl, etc. Things I left there when I started travelling for work, that I now finally have space for again

With 2025 wrapping up, it marks my 4th year of freelancing full time as a rigging TD. I wanted to share some of my data from this year, to give a little more context about my work and what working as a freelance rigger looks like. Plus, the ABS Instagram may have inspired me a little...

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

I love how I go out of my way to avoid updating Windows, and then Windows will just go ahead and update itself anyway...

An experience from a friend of mine. A great example of how to give a rigging TD a heart attack, then immediately cure it...

Someone is FINALLY doing a game with outlines offset from the base color layer!!!

We're finally approaching 101 Dalmatians-in-3D territory with real commercial products instead of 3am insomnia-fueled portfolio pieces!

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.

Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.
