Storyboard drawings by Aaron Springer from "As Seen on TV."

Painting with Patrick, from Make Yourself Pat Home! This doubles as a 1:1 inside look at my own art process; they say art benefits from your real life experiences, so...!

My plussed drawings/poses of the Kraken in "Rube Tube" from #ThePatrickStarShow ! (Sorry for the time code/overlays)

Marc and I noticed that many of our BGs had evolved into a much tighter, less whimsical style over the years. So we leaned harder toward the earlier designs on SB. I am very happy that you are are feeling it.

Can't get over how cool these paintings are, really neat way to stylize lightning

@vincentwaller.bsky.social Hello! I have a few questions if you have a moment: 1. I really love the push towards the looser and squigglier Nick Jennings styled background paintings! Who instigated this change, and why? I noticed it happened around s14. 2. Why are seasons split for broadcast now?

During cleanup I added the asses to Drymon's rough because why wouldn't I?!

Every SpongeBob Frame In Order@esfio.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Season 3 Episode 9 - Frame 2169 out of 2658

Here is a SpongeBob Comics cover I made in 2012. It was always a joy to work on these with @chrisduffyofthewinchesterduffy and Steve Hillenburg. We miss you Steve! #spongebob #patrickstar #squidward #comics #animation #cartoon

Tomorrow at 6PM EST, I'll be having a Q&A with Paul Tibbitt! He was a writer in seasons 1-3, the showrunner of seasons 4-9A, and the director of Sponge Out of Water! If you'd like a chance to ask a question (or just read along), join my Discord! (Link below or in bio)⬇️⬇️

When designing the look of the trash filled interior of Squidward's house in "Heart of Garbage," I looked back at early paintings of the Barg-N-Mart and suggested we go with the messier linework with swatches of painted color in those backgrounds. The results from Shane and his team were astounding!

This is a proud moment! I started working on SpongeBob in fall of 1999. Four of my students just worked on the CG for the recent episode "Go Fetch!" Congrats to Jack Gatto, Anthony Syracuse, Lucas Santos, Geoff Roberts. Great job guys! #spongebob #CGartist #animation #legacy #daemenuniversity

Atlantis SquarePantis! I created the artwork for the original DVD cover of this special. #spongebob #dvd #picoftheday #animation #cartoon #digitalillustration #atlantis

Happy First Day of School! (at least for me and my kids) Here are some back-to-school style guide sketches. These are from the fully digital era. Everything has gotten much tighter since drawing tablets came into use. #spongebob #backtoschool #preppy #science #cartoon #animation #digitalsketch

Look how they massacred my boy! This is my other SpongeBob video game cover, drawn circa 2008. Somebody went in and made very clunky changes to my original. #spongebob #drawntolife #videogame #nintendods #doodlebob #mehoyminoy #illustrationart

More SpongeBob styleguide poses. I remember Steve Hillenburg was very picky about the karate pose. We went through several rounds of revisions, so this version is mostly based on his notes. #spongebob #animation

A few choice storyboard cleanups from the SpongeBob Squarepants Movie. I'm still so proud to have been a part of this movie! #spongebob #animation

My 18yo started a new job today and I reminded him to be a SpongeBob, not a Squidward :) This is a page from my Little Golden Book "Mr. Fancypants". #spongebob #illustration #animation #littlegoldenbooks

Drawings from the episode "Texas."

These designs were created for popcorn bags when the original SpongeBob movie was released in 2004. I think I have a couple stashed in a box somewhere! #spongebob #illustration

Initially, Rock-a-Bye Bivalve focused much more on Patrick and #SpongeBob's attempt to raise a child. When Steve and Derek decided to veer toward poking fun at marriage this extended gag run had to go--probably my favorite lost sequence ever. 1/6

I was once informed that an old friend's kid owns a SpongeBob track suit.

Slipcase and interior covers I made for the Season 2 DVD box set. I did these in 2004. That pineapple texture is one of the last things I ever painted with actual acrylic paint. It is probably the most re-used piece of artwork I ever created. I see it everywhere!

More SpongeBob Season 2 DVD art! These are the 3 interior covers.

As promised, here are the SpongeBob season 3 DVD box set illustrations, created circa 2005. This set didn't include any additional interior covers as the box was a fold out rather than 3 separate cases.

Here are some scans of storyboard drawings from the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. These are my drawings, but they are heavily based on ruffs by Aaron Springer. This was late in production and a lot of the board artists were essentially doing character layout.

Patrick drop! I used to do a ton of the style guide poses for SpongeBob merch back in the day. These are from 20+ years ago and were drawn on a papyrus-like material. #spongebob #animation

"Old Man Patrick" board artwork from Arielle Phillips, Carey Yost and Clint Bond! #spongebob

SB S14 "Dome Alone" A favorite episode with my favorite character, getting to board the montage where she goes stir crazy indoors was a ton of fun. My tablet also broke halfway into the episode and I had to board on my iPad until the replacement came, so some parts are rougher than others 😬

Some drawings I did for a recent SpongeBob episode, “Wary Gary.” Original rough boards by my talented pal @dbexrealinsane.bsky.social
