Hellooo #portfolioday!
I'm a story artist that's open to paid freelance or full-time union work in animation.

I have a new piece on my site that, because of the recent events in LA, requires a cw: fire.

But I've got lots of happier things on there too! And pitch videos!

Someone asked me to board a few scenes for their CG-to-look-stop motion short and part of me caught on fire. They were talking about how they want there to be truth in materials and I’m like “Bro, let’s just do it in actual stop-mo. Please bro, you gotta.”

Hello I exist solely to remind you to get giant buttons of your pfp made for Lightbox (if you can) so I can recognize you.

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.”

Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️

Artists create universes from nothing.

Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

Star Wars is one of those bucket list franchises for me, and I’m so happy that @moxieiii.bsky.social asked me to participate in her take on it!!
(1/2) After crash landing in the Tie Fighter Graveyard, Rey and BB8 look for a functioning fighter. But they are not alone... Pt 1

IT’S MY #ANIMEEXPO2025 CATALOG AHHHHHH.

I’m a lucky little lamb to have gotten off the waitlist and was able to get a butt ton of stuff made with just a 3 month heads up and two other huge events before AX.

What I miss about peak Twutter was when my feed would tell me what anime to watch or game to play because it would be FLOODED with people screaming and fanart. It helped me feel connected to people and spaces that I have difficulty accessing irl.

btw if you're so petrified of doing a bad job that you can't even start, then what you need isn't advice on how to make comics. you need to learn to embrace being messy and bad at things and being okay with that because it's necessary, and actually it's GOOD. being messy is WONDERFUL

I'm still suckling on the dopamine I got from a conversation I had on Thursday where I used the word "bifurcate" without even having to think about it or rehearse it and it's like, the smartest I've felt this decade.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

Huh.

Never thought to ask if my parents had a TV when they were living in Cambodia.

Dad did, mom didn’t.

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

Asking for a friend!

If one were visiting Portland, OR because they’re shopping for a new life, what neighborhoods should they check out?

Walkable to things you’d need for the everyday: grocery, bank, cafe/restaurants, parks!

The way J. Michael Tatum says “I love you too” in this scene has been haunting me for DAYS.

So tender and bittersweet. One of those acting moments that just kamehameha’s right through your heart.

I nearly stepped into the path of a moving pick up truck because I was making eye contact with a lively white husky hanging out of a parked car’s window, and he was beckoning to me.

My own sweet panting siren, calling to me across the asphalt, inviting me to rest my weary soul and sleep…

Last RP:

Man, I miss working in stop motion.

Sometimes when I see folks do CG “stop motion,” I feel like they’re missing a fundamental reason to make something in stop motion: the undeniably human touch.

I love the entire aesthetic of stop motion.

There’s a great interview with Nick Park about Wallace And Gromit in last month’s Empire, and this bit in particular stood out. It sums up what artists have been trying to say about AI. The mistakes and the learning aren’t things to be bypassed, but a vital part of the process 🤟
