Some old personal work.

We used this to test the rough line treatment that ended up in the Hyper Light Breaker trailer.

I finally animated my freelance logo! Lately I'm trying to lean more into motion design work, so I've been working on beefing up my logo animation portfolio and having a lot of fun doing it 😎

If you'd like help bringing YOUR logo to life, hit me up!

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

A nighttime scene.  A the center is a black and white tabby cat with bright green eyes.  They are standing on a narrow stump with leaves at the bottom.  The cat is surrounded by a number of glowing goldfish.

My birthday landed on a Caturday! Its a little funny. Anyhow I need to be more online, It’s too hard to stay inspired alone. You can’t only draw for work.

Thank you for the support everyone. This year there will be *new* art to look forward to.

(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa)

BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history.
REGINALD: Wow! What's it do?

BEARTATO: It... what?
REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do?

(Beartato thinks.)

BEARTATO: I don't know.

REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do?

EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this!

(The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet)
MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk!

(Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

In a lot of ways, assuming the most pessimistic outcome and then acting as if it’s a foregone conclusion helps make it a reality!

And like, I 100% get why most people are cynical doomers these days. But if nobody believes a better world is possible, they’re MUCH less likely to help make one happen.

An image promoting the webcomic True Colors. In it, we see a close-up of Eloise Trueman, an elderly Caucasian woman with wrinkles, freckles, and grey hair in a tight bun and the CEO of TrueCorp. The close-up centers around her eye, which bulges furiously and reflects a strange multicolored energy. Her pupils are tiny with rage as a vein pulses on her temple.

The text reads "True Colors Update 3-70: Sonia's Promise, https://www.trueniverse.com/truecolors/3-70.html"

Iro and Sonia are pretty average. Kit’s aro/ace and gets her energy out other ways. Ben is the horniest main character, partly because he’s fairly straight male anime protagonist coded.

The highest in the entire comic is Zach, who is a hypersexual fuckboi with poor impulse control. Dorian too!

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

What Not Reading Does to Your Writing More thoughts on "TV brain prose" and why reading is, yes, useful for your writing.

Since everyone is (sigh) debating if writers benefit from reading books, I dissected a passage shared as β€œevidence” that non-readers can write great prose: countercraft.substack.com/p/what-not-r...
