Had some fun painting fall colors while visiting family! I don’t usually do digital paintings like this so it was a challenge, but a nice one to turn off the storyboard brain. Miss my east coast fam so much, and all their seasons!! ❤️

Last week we heard the official news that The Great North will not be renewed. 😔 I worked on that show for the last couple of years, so I'm REALLY on the lookout for any new storyboarding or previs opportunities. Any leads or recommendations are super appreciated- thank you! 🥹

Welp since the last episodes of The Great North have aired, I present to you "Desktop Memories"- a silly video I made for my team on our last day, compiled of dumb doodles and screenshots I found while deleting things off of my computer. Really miss this show and all the folks behind it! ❤️

A lovely storyboard by @mbernste.bsky.social for The Great North! Marissa is such a conscientious and thoughtful artist. She came up with all these funny animatronics in the background and a lot of the Maple World ideas. 🍁

video games right now: half the people I know are out of work and the other half are in DMs with me telling me things like "yeah so Lobster Guy (guy at my studio who does no work and puts a live lobster into other people's cars as a prank) was moved to another project so HR can avoid firing him"
