A close up of my most recent shot - of me, circa 1990 doing my best to entertain myself with a xerox machine and leftover blank tax documents.

It’s Tax Day! I finished this scene for Sundays a while ago, but waited to share it today in honor of my favorite accountant, my dad, working hard at Gerst Tax Service. You can spot my uncle, grandpa, and a few employees in the shot. #taxseason #2danimation #animation #toonboomharmony #indieartist

I saved this scene for tax season - commemorating a memory of my my favorite accountant forcing me to be a responsible adult. #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #2dart #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm #taxseason

Sped up: 45 minutes down to 90 seconds! In my last post, I mentioned that animating hair and highlights on hair are some of my favorite things to do. My other favorite thing is animating water! #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm #animator #newyorkartist

One of my favorite things to animate is hair / highlights on hair. I always save it for last so I have something to look forward to when finalizing character moving or the final color for a scene. #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #2dart #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm
