Just sent out my (semi) monthly newsletter! This one is about tabling at comic conventions. Is it worth it? Who knows! Contains a brand new comic about my experience staying at a Toronto university dorm during TCAF 😅https://pencilbooth.com/posts/ad34c9ad-3820-4c34-81bd-0dd42b5a2a7f

Convention Fun Times

In which I table at several comic conventions

I bought myself a drawing tablet for my birthday and was excited to try out Callipeg for animation! I decided to do a quick run cycle of Eight. It felt pretty nice to animate and work in, all while sitting on the couch. Enjoy! #animation

VanCAF is this weekend at the Roundhouse CC! Find me at table D1! I'll have comics and small fanart prints celebrating my favourite TV shows (Star Trek, Andor) available for purchase. Vancaf is FREE, so take a break from World Cup celebrating & come enjoy some COMICS! :D More info: www.vancaf.org

I bought a pair of big culottes at Uniqlo

Cosi Little Universe - Episode 13! Cosi and Tang work the drive-thru at Ray Vertex serving coffee! Seems straightforward, what could possibly go wrong? Enjoy! #animation #indieanimation #cosilittleuniverse

Some "Cosi Little Universe" fanart for @timlarade.bsky.social's birthday! #cosilittleuniverse #fanart

Fanart of the three touring princesses from Mario Kart World! My favourite game of 2025, it's just really fun. I'm still hopping online for races pretty regularly. And these outfits are so cute! Enjoy! #fanart #nintendo #mariokart #mariokartworld #princesspeach #princessdaisy #rosalina

Fanart of Tetra from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker! My favourite Zelda game, the vibes and characters are just perfect for me. I'm excited to see what the next Zelda looks like though. Enjoy! #fanart #thelegendofzelda #thewindwaker #nintendo #timlarade

Fanart of Lynne, Missile, and a mysterious black cat from Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective! I love Ghost Trick so much, it's such a fun ride of a game and story. Also the characters and their animations are so charming. Please play it if you haven't! Enjoy! #fanart #ghosttrick #capcom

Fanart of Pearl and Marina from Splatoon 3: Side Order! Love these outfits that they wear in the DLC, hard to beat a puffy astronaut jacket. What a cute couple! (Also super excited for Splatoon Raiders!) Enjoy! #fanart #splatoon #nintendo

We now return to The Garden Knight! The Garden Knight finds herself high above the city, face to face with the dangerous Evil Queen of City Development in my 11th Titmouse 5 Second Day film. Enjoy! #animation #2danimation #TheGardenKnight #5secondday

Fanart of Nagumo, Niikura, and Wako from CITY! The anime was a lot of fun but I really love the manga. I enjoyed all these characters living in this city, intersecting and interacting with each other in fun and unexpected ways. Enjoy! #fanart #citytheanimation

Fanart of Ichiban Kasuga from Yakuza: Like A Dragon and Infinite Wealth! Love listening to his crew's conversations while walking the streets in the games. Enjoy! #fanart #ichibankasuga #likeadragon

It's Resident Evil's 30th anniversary so here's some fanart for the RE4 remake! Super fun game but I miss Ashley's ears haha Enjoy! #fanart #residentevil #capcom

I have done very little non-work drawing this year, but I did make a comic about my 2025. Despite everything, good things happened for me, but it's complicated.

Cosi Little Universe - Episode 12! How will Cosi pick her first GigJig job when there's so many to choose from?! That may not be the biggest thing she needs to worry about. Enjoy!

It's been a little while but let's get back to posting work animation! Next up is rough animation from season 1 of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. First up, a slo-motion walk. My first scenes on the show, what a way to start! It took about a month to animate. Enjoy! #animation #tmnt

This is my animator origin story! I saw it when I was 10-11ish and from that point on the only career choice for me was to be an animator.

Did anyone else see the Magic of Disney Animation tour/ride at DisneyWorld? I visited it as a kid (I think in 1990?) & remember it quite well, although my reaction was "wow, animation looks boring! I never want to do that!" Here's the wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mag...

Maple made herself at home pretty quickly! ❤️

Tim & I lost our beloved 19 year old cat Starling last year (still miss her), but we're finally ready to welcome someone new into our lives. This is Maple, a tiny 2 year old baby girl who is spunky & adorable and we love her so much already. ❤️❤️❤️
