Race day tomorrow, running my 4th half marathon.
Particularly excited about this one since so many of my friends are also running, and I'm also by far the most fit I've been going into one, so could be a big personal best!

While background supervising on Smiling Friends S2 I painted a few reusable space assets for my artists to drag and drop into their backgrounds on the episode 'Charlie, Pim, and Bill vs. The Alien' 🌌

One of the more challenging parts to this design was making sure it worked for 6 very different shots that all reused this background

Ep 1 of Smiling Friends S2 premiered last night! Worked on it as a BG supervisor the last year.
Out of any project I've worked on I've put more into Smiling Friends S2 and it's the thing I'm most proud of yet, so finally watching it and seeing my background supervisor credit was a big moment!
