Working on stuff, trying out a different feel.

With #PrideMonth going on and everything, I thought it'd be a nice time to say that Cassie was never meant to be straight. She always had a bit of a crush on her friend.

Can’t decide which version I like better, but what I do know is that Misato is best girl and Netflix can’t put Neon Genesis up fast enough.

Mamimi is the absolute best.

A lot of people have been sharing their DnD characters lately, I wanted to finally draw mine. Foogi of the Duck - he's a tortle monk who studies the ways of the duck in order to master air, land, and sea!

Drawing my spacey dumpster kids again as I start to ramp things back up.

A friend had me do some portraits of him and his friends riding their respective pets. One was for a wedding! But I think that might have been obvious.

About 3 years ago I was in a really weird place and had to accept a lot of freelance projects I wouldn’t have normally taken. One of which was redesigning these kids drawings for a social media project thing. It’s kind of like a slightly uncomfortable BK Kids Club.

The other day I was working on some Star Go stuff for later and sketched up a little thing of Cassie sitting on a Bloob. I liked it enough to clean it up and stuff stuff, but got stuck when I hit the color. I feel like I've been stagnating a lot lately, just doing the same thing over and over and it's been bumming me out. Star Go usually gives me a lot of room to play though, so I thought I'd run with it and try something different. I paint basically never, so this was a bit of a challenge, but it's fun to try something different every so often.

“Phoenix Rises” is one of my absolute favorite episodes of Big City Greens and I'm so thrilled to have been a part of it. Also thrilled nobody said no to "BigGas".

It's the little things.

New Big City Greens episode “Coffee Quest” is really fun and exciting and I got to draw a ton of shipping crates for it! Plus, Gloria's in it and Gloria's the best. Lot of theater seats, lot of pepper stands, lot of washing machines, shipping crates... I’m noticing a theme here.

Today’s episode of Big City Greens, “Tilly Tour” featured a lot of washing machines. A LOT of washing machines. Also a lot of toilet paper. If you’re watching, everything that happens in the hotel laundry room area was designed by me!

Big City Greens - Feud Fight was a really fun episode because I got to come up with a lot few dumb pepper-stand names, but nothing will beat the great pepper shrine! I have no idea if any of my dumb pepper-stand names made it into the final episode, but I sure hope Spice World and Peppy Hare did.

Big City Greens - Cricket's Shoes was neat in that I got to design the dog park! My flag wasn't used, but it was cool being able to play with all the trees and things. Plus, poopy-scoopy! I didn't think I'd be doing another dog park so soon after Aunt Phyllis, but what're ya gonna do? I liked that flag.

Hey mom, I'm on TV! Can I feel like a legitimate part of the animation industry yet?

Today (7/25/18) the Big City Greens episode Rated Cricket premiered and featured my very first TV credit ever!!! It’s super exciting to be named alongside so many other talented artists and it really marks a big milestone for me. Next step, join a crew officially!

I'm a big perspective fan and love diving into detail and stuff, so being able to draw so many seats and stuff was pretty great. There were so many seats!
