Our reunion remains among long-lost dreams for now. Until that day… You wouldn’t remember, but we met when I was a little fanboy in the mid aughts.
You cats are in for a great time! I’ll see you next time. As for myself. Confession: sitting into my first viewing of 2001 😅🫠

Writing a treatment/pitch for a tv series while simultaneously struggling to determine which script to send #Disney. Should submit the witchy and folkloric animated series, or the coming-of-age romantic adventure series set between Jordan and Crete? Woe, the maelstrom

I'm listening to an incredible episode of the #Scriptnotes podcast discussing the challenges for someone on the spectrum who wants to become a screenwriter. Could the inability to communicate on certain levels, hinder your chances at a screenwriting career. FACINATING! #screenwriting

Just a thought…Don’t dismiss unfinished art pieces. One of my abandoned sketchbook pages turned into this fun little scene with a jazz frog. It took a year & a half to finish the scene because it was missing a special “something.”Then I found some amazing vintage inspired earrings and voila!

Folks! I’m looking to connect with fellow worldbuilders and storytellers involved in the animation pipeline. SFX artists, storyboard peoples, illustrators, etc. I’d love to cultivate a community here in the Middle West. I’m now living in Kansas City and eager to see what this place is all about
