I just got back from the theater after watching Laika Studios' Wildwood. It's truly a spectacle and I feel those words fall short in describing how breathtaking it is. I highly implore you to see it in a growing era of AI, sequels, and reboots. It's a self-healing ritual. 🥹 #films #laikastudios

Well howdy folks! Haven't been on Bluesky for a while. Not much seems to have changed thank god. I hope to upload more and give you guys something to chew on. To be honest I'm just in such a creative slump and life just sucks right now. Maybe it'll all get better in November...

If The Mr. Men Show was actually true to Roger Hargreaves' original drawing style, I think the characters would look like this. A bit of asymmetry and more round and a bit more Peanuts-like.

Been a little while but just thought I'd share a new illustration! Felt like drawing Mr. Bump in Adobe Illustrator just cause he's so cute and is my fav character in Mr. Men 🤕

btw all the new posts you're seeing are actually stuff I already posted a while ago on twitter but thought would make sense here just so my feed matches

Okay, y’all are gonna love this! I made a whole page dedicated to…mouths! You could even say it’s a…mouthful! (Either puns are still in fashion or I’m late to the party 😅)

Here's kind of a basic atlas of mouth/expression types that I wanted to sketch out. Kind of going a fine line between cliché and originality, and I believe this probably strikes the perfect balance. Also wanted to maintain a cute yet expressive aesthetic.

Well, hello (again) everyone! So I already had purged posts from my profile, but I thought now would be a good time to start anew. It's gonna be nothing but illustrations and animation projects on here. Maybe the occasional unrelated/quote tweets, but it's mostly going to be project oriented.
