A storyboard of a miniature lady figurine, overlooking a field of wind turbines. She stands on pencil. On the horizon is a bunch of (miniature) trees and a coffee mug.

A storyboard of a pit crew working on a F1 racecar. They're tiny, and work in a garage made from normal-sized pencils, cellphone, rulers.

Happy birthday to this giant cookie I saw at Safeway in 2023.

It's a cake-sized cookie decorated with frosting maracas for Cinco de Mayo, but they spelled it "Conco"

I found this 5-year-old video on my phone. I composed this on my daughter's school-provided iPad during lockdown.

A joyful drawing of a little Medusa, holding a cupcake with a birthday candle on it.

A lonely drawing of a guy that looks like Dalton, with a newsboy hat, walking in the dark.

I am heartbroken to learn my friend Dalton @daltondraws.bsky.social passed away. Dalton was an extremely talented illustrator, whose every line was full of kid-hearted joy. He just recently reached his loooong goal of being a kids book illustrator. I wish we could see the next one, and the next...

The cover of Wally Mammoth, the Sled Race, illustrated by Dalton Webb

Close-up of the cover, "pictures by Dalton Webb"

Some of Dalton's sketches. Cute scruffy twin girls, a kid with a teddy bear, And a pigtailed girl with a pencil, flinging from her backpack. They are cartoony, but you've met kids like these in real life.

Post a random photo otherwise everything goes wrong in June.

Cakes behind glass at the Safeway bakery. A blue one is supposed to be a shark I think, but everything went wrong. There's an eye, a mouth full o' teeth, and a dorsal fin but.... all in the wrong places.

I've had a lot of visits to the ear doc lately and I keep seeing this poster. Is this a baby Jesus repurposed for a medical poster?

Recently learned that Mekbots: Animal Rescue, premiered on Peacock. In 2021 I boarded a couple episodes of this show. Only one of mine is out in the wild so far. No screen-credit, but 75% of this episode is me, and that feels great! Check out the show, or tell your pre-K bestie!

What is this, some kind of #portfolioday? I'm Adam Watson, storyboard artist for commercials and animation. I've boarded Pre-K (Mekbots), adult (Warhammer), and lots of live-action advertising (Amazon, Xbox, Jaguar...) + Follow or find me at themightyadam.com

A page of action storyboards. A garbage truck crashes into a steel girder, is shot by a space-ship, and then crashes through a bridge into a ravine.

Storyboards from a cartoon. A robot gorilla is oblivious to a boa constrictor behind him.

Just before the new year, I was tapped to storyboard this homage to Apple's "1984" commercial. In an homage, a lot of work is done for you, but there's a lot of unique problem-solving for things like a tiny location, a small cast, limited visual effects budget....

Storyboard and final frame of Klayvio commercial. A dystopian bridge connects dystopian office buildings. Hundreds of workers march like drones.

Storyboard and final frame of Klayvio commercial. A woman runs toward camera with a red flag.

Storyboard and final frame of Klayvio commercial. A video call of CEOs looms ominously over faceless workers.

Post your favorite Doctor Who, wrong answers only

I feel bad for not checking in on my friends.

Animal Crossing screenshot. Bluebear's all like "Huh? superfan?! No way! It's been... 1 year and 2 months since I saw you last!"

Got new health insurance cards and I'm delighted by this extra card, which I am keeping in my wallet now.

A laminated white card which is blank except for the words "intentionally blank," which makes it not blank.

My daughter got this Halloween cookie last year, but the thought of eating it made her sad. Screw-eye to the rescue!

An ornament hanging in a Christmas tree. But it's a cookie from whole foods, frosted to look like a mummy with weirdo eyes.

I've just been doodling piles of rats for some reason.

A little pile of rats, in soft pencil and china marker.

A horde of rats, in pencil. One huge rat sits in the middle.

Fillin' out a form and.... rude.

I got a bunch of these at WinCo the other day. They are 100% regular Halloween-flavored Christmas-colored candy corn. I love candy corn but I feel like this should be illegal.

If you're stop-motion curious, you should check out Kevin's class at Motion Design School! This clip is one of my homework assignments.

Heck yes, voting! Dropped it off Tuesday! Blue all the way down.
