Storyboard Artist and Assistant Director on The Simpsons
A fun section a got to draw with director Steve Moore. Did A LOT on this episode- Homer killing at the baseball game, Frinks dad ripping Ned’s organs out of his throat, Bart and Mulhouse running away from an angry crowd and stopping time. Back on paper, LOTS of work!

Was looking up a GIF and came across a scene I animated- wonder if there are others.

Check out tonight’s episode on the west coast. Honored to have assistant directed w/ one of our OG directors, Steve Moore, who was the first director I met when I started back in 1998. Fun/ topical episode. Thanks to @mattselman.bsky.social and @aljeansimpsons.bsky.social for the wonderful scripts!

bear with me as I attempt a copy/paste of an old twitter thread, in honor of the passing of writer Peter David. Among his many works, he wrote one of my all-time favorite comics, YOUNG JUSTICE. At a time when a lot of superhero comics trended grim and violent, it dared to be a fun superhero comic.

That new, exclusive to Disney+ episode of #TheSimpsons, The Past & the Furious is really great. This last year of the series had been a standout overall of the last decade, but this episode in particular really landed for me. It’s a bit Back to the Future, with lots of heart and humor. Recommend.

Chris Edgerly is now the newest voice for Rod Flanders in The Simpsons, starting with The Man Who Flew Too Much. Rod was previously voiced by Pamela Hayden so that's one of her main characters taken. Milhouse and Jimbo have yet to get new voices.

There are so many writers and artists and production people on The Simpsons who have far surpassed this, but happy to reach the 100 episodes milestone!
December 16, 2024 at 2:25 PM
Two episodes upcoming that we worked hard on/ excited to share. Homer and her sisters tomorrow- my 100th #simpsons episode- and our supersized holiday special O C'mon All Ye Faithful next week on Disney+

Enjoying some classic holiday entertainment tonight.

December 15th will be my 100th credited Simpsons episode! S36E9 - Homer and Her Sisters:
After a fight in an escape room, Krusty's truth-telling Aunt fixes Homer's relationship with Patty and Selma. I’ll be at a wedding that night, but I’ll be watching and laughing along in spirit! Enjoy!!!

Storyboarded a lot of act 1 in tonight’s episode. Love how Homer’s song went viral immediately/ blew up right then and there. :-)
