Mrs. Krum from Klaus was a delight to animate.

Somethings She Taught Me

My mom has been a huge influence in my life. So I tried writing something a little bit longer to celebrate the legacy she has left with me. Somethings She Taught Me

(I wrote this a year ago, and edited it this year for this event. I still think it holds up somewhat.)

I was surprised to hear a couple people referring to me as an entrepreneur. Or having entrepreneur skills, or entrepreneur spirit, or just something. I was pretty-dumbfounded by hearing it, because honestly, I never saw myself as one. I always thought I just had my head in the clouds and no real…

I’ve been wanting a social media break for a while now. I guess I just hit that limit where I can’t anymore. Hoping this will be a time to regather and recenter myself. Feel pushed in too many directions right now. Want too many different things, and just need to spend less time getting distracted. Just need to let myself be quiet for a little. Lower expectations. Accept smallness. So I’ll be gone from here, probably for a month. Maybe more. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuXYf8QlqS5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o6p91brn6d1h

Our Skin is Our Freedom

Our Skin is Our Freedom. Unfinished contain anxiety. Stop; breathe slowly; open up. Check out my newest blog post, and let me know what you felt!

The shower tells me to slow down. It’s the end of the night. It’s time to calm my soul, dress it for sleeping. But I can feel my body still longs in desire for anything that tells me, “you’ve done enough today.” Earlier today I didn’t finish editing that image. The animation is still in the same state it was last week, as are those two emails that are sitting in the drafts folder. I didn’t start…

I wanted to do them all

Trying to be realistic is like asking us to cage the bird, to kill the fire, to drain the energy, imprison the free spirit. So why do you ask me that? - Cage Possibilities Crush Weight See Transformation

It’s hard to be realistic on our goals. I mean. At least for people like me? People that dream, and see so much opportunity everywhere, so much that can be. Everything is another road, another path that could be traveled. Trying to be realistic is like asking us to cage the bird, to kill the fire, to drain the energy, imprison the free spirit. So why do you ask me that? Why do you ask me to be…

Sooooo. Here’s a funny story. Last night I tried to do a test stream on Twitch and it basically failed in a marvelous way. . My roommate was in the room when I accidentally, without noticing, started streaming. The first two minutes is us talking about random stuff. Until I realize I’m streaming and freak out a little. . When I finally start drawing, I put on music and the volume was way too high—you couldn’t hear me talking anymore at all. . The video lags a lot, and I guess it must’ve eventually crashed, cause there’s nothing beyond like 7:30mins of video uploaded to twitch now. Even though I was there for like 30 mins. . And yeah. If you find me on twitch you can laugh at me. It was fun. I learned a lot. Got slightly more comfortable talking to myself. And it was practice! We all start somewhere. And small steps (or trips and falls like this one) are awesome. . So here’s to the next art streams, that hopefully will be better! And once they are slightly more there and actually watchable I’ll put links here for it! :) . . . #instagramart #instagramartist #twitch https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsdv6cChG8v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bpbmblxrdjwk

New Year's Resolutions (2019)

Yesterday's reflection was slightly depressing, maybe. SO here's maybe one slightly more upbeat? My New Year's Resolutions for 2019

So I did one post that was more on the sad side of things. Reflecting on some of the harder parts of my life. But I also wanted a blog post that was slightly more hopeful?

Last year I also had a list of resolutions.I didn’t reach many of them, but I was still happy that I had the list to which I could compare myself. It was a good way to assess where I am, where I was. I feel like there was…
