My goal of doing 200 hours worth of gesture drawing in 2025 is complete! 2026, I'm putting my new shorthand to the test and getting back to animating for myself
My contribution for a reverse telephone comic hosted by Kuosketch on Instagram, had a lot of fun it!
Growing to love drawing with a mouse, the accuracy is non existent and it looks shit from any technical metric, but like there's this resistance that a mouse on the mouse pad has that you don't get from a pen on a glass screen that produces some really fun and energetic marks
Been sitting on this part for The Freefall Collab 3 for the better part of a year now and I'm happy to finally be able to post it! Thanks to Lunsar for getting me out of retirement and having me on, it was a ton of fun. Highly recommend checking out the full collaboration, it turned out incredibly
Just found out about this really interesting software called refractify which claims to be able to slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) from computer screens through a special filter. No clue if it works, but the concept is really neat refractify.io

Found out about Stanislaw Szukalski earlier while reading Weirdo and I've become absolutely obsessed, this guy is genuinely one of the most interesting people, let alone greatest sculptors and draftsman to have ever lived and somehow hardly anyone has heard of him
Oh my god it's snowing in New Orleans, it's only happened like one other time in my life. Merry Christmas, you know things are dire when hell's freezing over (and I love it)
Finally watched through Yolo Crystal Fantasy and I cannot believe what I've been sleeping on. The animation walks a really fine line between being some of the worst and best I've been in a TV show, it's so weird and unique.
some behind the scenes on the shots I animated for the new Meatcanyon toon!
Ice skating is the most engaging thing ever to closely observe from an animatior's standpoint. The motions are so strange and unpredictable. It immerses you in these alternate reality physics until they fail the landing and crash, breaking the spell, grounding them in the same world as everyone else
tonight's blind contour drawings (the 5% that doesn't look like something you'd pull out of the shower drain)
