A close up of my most recent shot - of me, circa 1990 doing my best to entertain myself with a xerox machine and leftover blank tax documents.

Here’s an example of my animation process: the final clip, the animatic and the 3D background! #animation #digital_art #animated #animatedfilm #taxseason #office

It’s Tax Day! I finished this scene for Sundays a while ago, but waited to share it today in honor of my favorite accountant, my dad, working hard at Gerst Tax Service. You can spot my uncle, grandpa, and a few employees in the shot. #taxseason #2danimation #animation #toonboomharmony #indieartist

I saved this scene for tax season - commemorating a memory of my my favorite accountant forcing me to be a responsible adult. #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #2dart #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm #taxseason

Sped up: 45 minutes down to 90 seconds! In my last post, I mentioned that animating hair and highlights on hair are some of my favorite things to do. My other favorite thing is animating water! #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm #animator #newyorkartist

One of my favorite things to animate is hair / highlights on hair. I always save it for last so I have something to look forward to when finalizing character moving or the final color for a scene. #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #2dart #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm

Title sequence ✅ You can buy vintage tax booklets on eBay - look closely at the BG! I got my creative start drawing on top of these booklets at my dad’s Gerst Tax Service office ❤️ #taxseason #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #2dart #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm #animator #compositing

Another shot for my short film done! This one took several weeks, and is a clip of a much longer 25 second scene! #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #2dart #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm #animator

I animated this shot a while ago, but it needed some updates to match my film’s final look! #chickens #animatedcats #catsofbluesky #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #2dart #digitalart #animatedfilm

Figuring out the final look of a film can be hard! I cut together all of my tests for the first scene! The last clip showcases the final look and feel for the film! #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #2dart #digitalart #animated #animatedfilm

Another shot completed for my upcoming #animatedfilm Sundays! Im especially nostalgic for this one - from my time living in Manhattan during grad school #newyorkcityartist #animation #2danimation #2dart #digitalart #animated #toonboomharmony

Finally comped this shot for my upcoming film: Sundays! This shot takes place on my favorite beach: Siesta Key Beach ❤️ 🏝️ #animation #2danimation #toonboomharmony #digitalart #animated #2dart #sarasota #siestakey
