Hey! The trailer for the series of indie shorts I've been directing at my work drops today. It's about a diner trapped in the middle of a black hole. I hope you like it- I can finally celebrate the hard work of the amazing artists I worked with on this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv8j...

I'm going anti-list. Instead of a buzzfeed list of top ten recommendations where you never click on all of them, I will give you just one thing to watch, because it makes my heart sing and I think it will yours as well if you haven't seen it!! I love this short: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qK8...

Heyo! I made a new youtube video. It's on ai. Because the latest models broke me and I got tired of yelling about it alone in my head. Because even if it is a bubble— they can and will make our lives worse, and I want to know what we can do about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL51...
Ai has us so cooked and what to do about it

Kinda tired of burnout being presented as an individual problem. I know where my limits are, but I also know how much rent costs.

(1/3) A zine I made in 2021 and oddly got the courage to post now, randomly, 4 years later. Because I wish I had heard of POTS sooner. Hope this helps reach someone who doesn’t know why they get dizzy standing in long lines.

did u know there's no such thing as an "ideas guy"? approximately 100% of the creative process occurs in the process of creating. whether an idea is bad or good starts and ends with how well you can execute it. the term for someone who has a lot of ideas and doesn't make them is "normal regular guy"

Hey! my recent big win is finishing my personal short film of over FIVE YEARS. (It survived the pandemic, a year of no drawing due to carpal tunnel, two breakups and it still, somehow, got done this weekend). Can’t wait to start showing bits and submit to festivals.

me dropping animatic scenes from #sunnysidedown out of context just so you know that we're still making it! My studio finished animating the first short (2 min), plus a trailer, and onto ep 2 now. I boarded this thinking of the ratatouille scene... duh
