I don't think anyone currently following me hasn't seen this already but I'll make my first post my most recent short film. 99% analog filmmaking, shot on super 8mm film with all in-camera special effects.

NAUSICAA. Nausicaa is hands down my favorite fantasy setting of all time on top of just being an incredible movie.
Then Nausicaa is closely followed by The Boy & the Heron and then Kiki's Delivery Service.

In honor of Hayao Miyazaki's birthday, what's your favorite Studio Ghibli film? Doesn't have to be the one you think is "the best," just the one that nestled in your heart. Mine is Howl's Moving Castle.

My favorite Frankenstein adaptation, obviously. Someone came up to my table at my pop-up last month and called this movie terrible (in the, like, so-bad-it's-good sense) and it took every fiber in my being not to start a fight.
Guillermo del Toro: "I've taken some liberties in adapting the Mary Shelly novel, I hope everyone understands."
Ishiro Honda: "Frankenstein the deathless will fight a burrowing dinosaur with a glowing horn and radiation breath, signifying mankind will never understand the monsters we create."

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 💖🙏
And finally, I got from @xenofauna.bsky.social these: Gigan (my favorite monster design), Biollante, one of my fave movies, and Mechagodzilla (loved the colors on this). And also a cool-as-fuck Namikawa from Astro Monster I don’t even think I ordered?? I’ll take it!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 💖🙏
Markets this month have been going pretty swell but it's still kinda shoveling money into the void so any extra scratch is always welcomed. 💖
Currently struggling to survive as an artist with the ATL film industry tanking so hard over the last two years - my career in set dec is essentially dead. I'd really like to keep making my weird monster nonsense tho so any support folks can offer is hugely appreciated!! 💖

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif.
Hard mode: No Star Wars/Trek, LOTR, or Marvel.
Hard mode for MY circles, no Gujiller or Gamera either.

Revisiting & revising some older concepts to potentially feature as guest appearances in a Shrimp Boi zine I've been brainstorming on for awhile. The Ishinomori-inspired Skull Borg mooks have been a fave for some time but I never felt like I'd locked down a design I was fully happy with til now.

Two new creature commissions for a friend of mine. As I understand it, my friend DMs a TTRPG in which their player characters function as a Science Patrol team and the creatures they commission from me and others are the MOTWs the team has to grapple with.

Has anyone ever acknowledged that the Pokémon Umbreon's design motif is literally just the OG form of Ultraman Ace's Yapool? This is not a callout - I LOVE IT - but also I feel insane.

Goofy little manga style piece inspired by my friend @thxpup.bsky.social and her love for Chibi Godzilla. I may do some more with this later but I'm tired of working on it today so I'm putting a pin in those other ideas and just sharing it as-is for now.
