Thanks to a buddy from my Turner days, I was brought on to the retakes animation team for the Adult Swim show “Smiling Friends” to help them put the finishing touches on S3. Ep01 of S3 premieres tonight at 11:30pm on Adult Swim, and a day later on HBO Max. It’s a funny, well-done show! Check it out!

"Howl at the Dead", an award-winning short horror film written and directed by my old pal Gregg Bishop is now online!
A few years back, he asked me to do some animations in the style of old cartoons from the 30's, to be used in the background on the boy's TV in his bedroom at night. Check it out! 🎃

I did some quick animations for a short horror film my buddy Gregg Bishop was making. Now, after winning multiple awards, “Howl at the Dead” is getting its public premiere on 8/26/25! Check out the teaser and watch the full film on the 26th! Remember, don’t blink! (Or you’ll miss my animation! 😂)

One year ago today animation wrapped on Star Trek Lower Decks. It was the best of times.
I got to work on 27 total episodes (plus 1 episode of Strange New Worlds) of this fantastic, funny and heart-warming series.

Here's the big sequence I animated for Star Trek Lower Decks season 5 episode "Dos Cerritos" which includes the Reverse Riker! Usually we would get all the shots of a single sequence since there's typically poses and things you can reuse along the way.

Well, it’s the one year anniversary of Lower Decks getting cancelled. I was intending to re-share my year-old post about it and comment on it, but I somehow deleted the old post instead. So, I guess this is the commentary, and I’ll recreate that old post next.

I thought it would be fun to go back and look at all of my Lower Decks shots and pick out some that had interesting or fun expressions.

One of my favorite Lower Decks shots that I animated was in season 5 episode 2 "Shades of Green". Mariner throws an object in order to distract the security robots. I got to do some great, unique poses, fun secondary with her hair, and a smear!

I got to animate a few cool moments on Lower Decks. This is probably my favorite. I got to do Alt Boimler's "Reverse Riker Maneuver" in Season 5 Episode 1 "Dos Cerritos" and then Prime Boimler immediately says "Damn, he's good!" Lol! Thanks, Brad!
