I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Here’s one I enjoyed animating in Moho. It’s so much fun to utilize frame by frame and interpolating key frames together. #animation #moho

One of my favorite things about Toon Boom Harmony are the built in perspective guides. Really top notch and easy.

It’s a shame libraries are closed on Sundays. Feels like the perfect day and mood for them.

Oddly specific, but any recommendations for a course on intermidiate character acting for rigged animation?

After all these years in my motion design career, I still can’t find the perfect color combos for the labels in After Effects.

Adolescence is a fantastic show. Absolutely loved the script and acting. You can tell that a lot of thought went into creating nuanced and believable characters. Heavy subjects though, be warned.

Here’s an animation for the #ayoanim challenge, which had the prompt “burst” for this week. I used Adobe Animate for this one. Good times. #animation #framebyframe #adobeanimate

I’m still bummed with how Adobe Animate seems to be fizzling out. (No 2025 release?) It was such a nice workflow for sprinkling vector frame by frame into After Effects projects. I like using it for fx and it communicates so well with other Adobe apps.

Having a fun moment where my aging machine is crashing a ton and rendering so very slowly, but it’s okay because a new machine has been ordered. I just got a couple more weeks to get through the slog.

I’m looking for the perfect term to describe “dummy text” that appear as lines like these. What do you and your circle refer to them as?

Been archiving a bunch of personal experiment files that I mostly don’t remember doing. This, after going to the Corgi raves last summer.

I left Twitter back in 2017ish. Super happy to see the motion graphic community coming here, I’ve missed hearing the updates.

Happy New Year’s Eve! Here’s a little experiment between After Effects and Blender. I had a fun time combining the two. #aftereffects #blender3d #animation

Really enjoying Moho. It’s been both surprisingly deep and yet easy to pick up. #moho #mohoanimation #animation #dogs
