I'm like 85% done with the new @handdesignco.bsky.social redesign and I gotta say, it's looking pretty good so far. It's been a struggle to get it done in between the other stuff I've been juggling, but it's definitely coming together.

I genuinely love anime magazines, but recognize that, if one were to launch today, it'd need to be radically different from what came before it. You can't do what, say, Anime Insider or Newtype USA did, because nobody wants something with month-old news and previews for stuff we get trailers of live

It feels like it's been forever since the last #weebwednesday, but it's here once again! You know the drill - quote this with your hot weeb takes, no racist shit, nothing deliberately inflammatory, and have fun with it 💕

Otakon is almost a week away and I’m over here muttering “I’m not ready!!” over and over. Chris has already asked if I’m okay. But con crunch… CON CRUNCH.

If you supported the writers, actors, warehouse workers, or any labor union this last year; PLEASE support animation workers when our contract expires on August 12th. Nearly our entire industry has been out of work for a year+ bc of unchecked greed from the top. We can barely survive.

I pick up my keys next Tuesday, which means i just need one final push to meet my goal and then it’s smooth sailing into a new home and peace of mind. Thank you for helping me cross the finish line, hopefully this week!

I have one last hurdle on my path to finding medical stability and hopefully, moving it off survival mode: relocating in August. This is my call for mutual aid one more time so I can land in my feet.

If y’all need some low poly art created, get in touch with @thatdarncheshire.bsky.social Seriously, how cool is this scene???

The man-cave from the 90's with @mmcd.bsky.social. As fans of Akira Toriyama, this was a special project to take on. Thanks for letting me make your lowpoly dreams come true! I look forward to working with you again in the future. Until then!

Seeing all the manga panels taking place during SDCC and I’m so sad to miss out on them! 😭

A while ago I had the pleasure of contributing to #Dimension20 Fantasy High: Junior Year. I drew the screen that displayed character sheets (except for the stickers - got those from the art team) and the downtime trackers. It was so cool to see it all get animated by their motion graphics wizards!
