Here's the original illustration I made for last week's Ollie & Scoops announcement! Thanks again to @nicocolaleo.bsky.social for having me make this, it was a pleasure getting to draw these characters again 💖
I'm glad my old copy of Flash CS5.5 still runs great! Animate's on the left, Flash CS5.5 on the right. All of the newer paintbrush line stuff is missing, so I'll have to do some workarounds & manual down-porting. otherwise, not as bad as I thought it'd be to save my rigs! will get through this. 💖
I don't know why I put off using my copy of TVPaint for ten years, I started using it for roughs this week and making little bounces and dances and it's so good, why on earth did I never use this program for anything until now
today was a "messing around in flipnote studio 3D" kinda day
I made a weird comic in some kind of sleep-deprived delusion last night and it turned out kinda funny so here it is, my one Sonic comic for 2025
Newspaper comic strips have been my biggest inspirations. I'll always love Calvin and Hobbes, but I think Richard Thompson's work (especially for his comic Cul-de-Sac) forever changed the game for me. his way of drawing and sensibilities clicked with me immediately in 2016, and still does today. :D
Here's my contribution to @peanutscollab.bsky.social! This is such a cool collab and was a ton of fun to take part in. I loved drawing snoopy and his slowly inflating head, classic snoopy humor
my new storyboard process: - open Pictochat - have your characters talk about fast food places
finally got back around to doing some storyboarding for one of my Doog cartoons tonight! lots of classic reindeer games going on here, exactly as we remember them ✨
getting ready to head home from my first-time trip to NYC, and I had a blast! I got to catch up with a lot of amazing friends, make a lot of good memories and see so much cool stuff. Would love to return someday! ❤️ I also met Rowlf the Dog, encased inside of a glass box
here's my roughs for Monkey Wrench episode 5! This became one of my all-time favorite animation gigs yet. It was a rare moment to try my hand at drama instead of comedy and reminded me of why I love this job, despite everything. 💖 Huge thanks as always to @zeurel.bsky.social for the opportunity!
Open for emergency commissions! There's currently no limit on slots, just trying to earn whatever I can to help cover rent this week. Thank you!!! 💖 forms.gle/ik5JEA2zVorV...
Update on the DVD idea: I did a DIY test print this week for an old Keev DVD from 2015 that never had a proper home until now. Cover is only a quick placeholder, yet this is still so cool and legit in person! Gonna keep looking into this. 💖
I made a post on Patreon with words in it, but in short: I'm putting Mitri & Doog aside for a bit to help get my xmas short out the door for this year www.patreon.com/posts/monthl... it's gonna get very "holiday joy and wonder" around here later this year, can't wait to share more soon~ 🎄

a sketch page featuring McKenzie and Margot from @lucadebus.bsky.social's lovely comic Wannabe 💖
the classic twenty-something-year-old secret handshake, just as we remember it
pro tip: don't fall from miles up in the air with only a dog, no parachute and while wearing a skirt, that'd be sooo embarrassing
kung pow phooey, kung ow hooey, kung pow how fowl now gooey huey dewie louie
here's my roughs for "The Final Patch" Baldur's Gate 3 animated short which released yesterday! A huge thank-you to both Larian and Spud Gun Studios (www.spudgunstudios.com) for the super cool opportunity and for allowing me to draw many, many bees 🐝
Mario finds a Toad in a Hole (now scanned in beautiful, clearer definition)
finally got a bunch of marker stuff scanned in, which means I can finally post Dug Doug
i'm still a big fan of these Figment and Dreamfinder drawings from years back, loved drawing these two ✨
