Of all the films I’m looking forward to, Ogresse is way up there. When it gets released? Could be a ways off. But a feminist folk musical written by Grammy winning jazz artist, Cecile McLorin Salvant, and animated by Lia Bertels, is very much something to keep your eyes on!

I can’t imagine what the group dynamic is like in this version of The Wizard of Oz lol #WickedForGood

#LastFourWatched

- My first PTA film! Probably the best movie of the year??
- An absurd and comically low-budget flick made in Fargo, featuring an old professor of mine and various Cartoon Network alum.
- Hyping myself up for Part 2!
- One of the most beautiful short films I’ve seen in a while.

This really is how the game feels at this point 😛 #Silksong

Just saw a throwback post on Facebook from several years ago when I made the most (intentionally) cursed piece of art I’ve ever made. #Rugrats #StevenUniverse

Over the Garden Wall season is back so I’m bringing up this old lightbox animation I made several years ago. Sound on for some extra atmosphere.

Can’t wait for my annual rewatch! 🍂🐸 #OTGW #Halloween

Stray thoughts on Silksong after 10 hours of gameplay:

- The walking stick enemies made me laugh out loud when they first appeared. Wonderfully goofy.
- The Widow fight slaps. It feels like this game’s equivalent of Mantis Lords. Super quick and intense, but with a clear rhythm to the patterns.

Here’s an animatic preview for an animated short I’m developing! A Girl Scout wants to raise money for horse camp but an annoying raccoon wants to eat all of her cookies. Let the showdown begin!

I am very much looking forward to animating this 🙂 #indieanimation #WIP #Procreate #animatedshort

Have had very little time to watch movies lately, but…

1) Popular Chinese animated film. Excellent action but lousy humor.
2) A comedy classic I only recently became aware of.
3) One of my biggest childhood comfort films.
4) Beautiful, fascinating, but boring Soviet animated film.

Not my best work, but when I heard that Aardman is teaming up with Pokémon to make a series of shorts with these two, I couldn’t help but wonder:

What are Pichu and Sirfetch’d gonna look like in this style? 🤔

Paddington if he was cool.

I made this a couple autumns ago when I first got my iPad & Apple Pencil and just re-discovered it in my Photos app. Very short & simple but I kinda want to revisit this aesthetic? I made it while watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and I think it shows.

Human Artists!

Use one piece to convince people to follow you!

I made this UPA-influenced title sequence for my animated pilot a few years ago about stage props in an abandoned theatre. I’ve leaned a lot since then, but there’s still some things about this pilot that I’m very proud of.

If I were still a YouTuber I would make a full video essay on how effectively this s01 episode uses both silence and foley to its advantage.

Use of background music in Bubblestand is sparse which is so rare for SpongeBob. Very few episodes balance humor and serene atmosphere quite like this one.

I posted this on IG yesterday but may as well post it here! Combating a stupid AI “art” meme with starter pack art designed by real artists 🙂

This is The Raccoon: the star of my new series of cartoons! Currently working on storyboarding the first.

What it feels like reading through the list of new characters for Mario Kart World.

I think the most impressive thing about Outer Wilds is that any revelation you make manages to carry the same weight and feel as THIS scene.
