Turnarounds for PIGEONHOLED cause I found out it was National Pigeon Day yesterday lol. Here's both the regular pigeon and their suited-up persona, Manny McManface.

Looking to share some updates about the film soon, so stay tuned!

Getting around to posting my backlog of stuff I did for classes.

One of the last things I got to do for class was a full 8-point Hazel turnaround. Got some good notes that I'd like to apply later, especially as I start getting a certain project I've been wanting to do moving ;) Here she is spinning

PIGEONHOLED premieres at SVA Thesis Celebration at the SVA Theater tomorrow! (also streaming on YouTube and Twitch) The films start at 12pm EST! Pigeonholed will be in the second block, which starts at 1:45pm EST. A big thanks to all the folks who contributed their work to the film, and everyone who's been a part of the journey to see this thing from start to finish!

A bit delayed sharing this here... but I am pleased to announce that after two long semesters and pulling many all-nighters, my thesis film, PIGEONHOLED is complete!!! Here's a little trailer I put together (very quickly, would like to make a better one later) to celebrate! And have a poster, too!

The film will be premiering at the SVA Theater on May 8th! It will also stream on YouTube and Twitch, so look out for that!

A brief look at my upcoming short film, PIGEONHOLED

Very excited to see it coming close to completion, but there's quite a way to go (especially regarding sound, not final here).

I miss these babies SO MUCH😭 So why not draw then all in the human world eating ramen. 😌 Amity, our hopelessly lesbian queen.

Been awhile since I've shared anything related to my thesis.

Have this panning background that I like.

Been feeling a bit of artistic burnout lately and nothing else seems to get me out of it than doing this. Random characters in the Klasky-Csupo style!!!

Yes, part one. There will be more. Close ups below!

Scenes I animated for episode 5 of Mammal Squad!

That first one is the most characters I've ever animated in a single shot. While it was a challenge, I'm glad I was able to accomplish such a feat. You'll also notice in the final episode that Leah did some additional animation in my second shot for continuity reasons, haha.

Go check out "Miyah" now on YouTube!

Oh yeah, Happy Valentine’s Day, too
