Here’s a few backgrounds I did for the episode “Shark!” for We Baby Bears! What I love about this story arc is its themes of ✨ Capitalism ✨ & its effect on the environment. I had the pleasure of working on the Atlantis logo based off a certain company. 📦 #WeBabyBears #animation #backgrounddesign

We need to highlight Black people who have suffered loss during these LA fires. Please please share this "Displaced Black Families" document and donate if you can!!!!! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Many animation folks have been affected by the LA fires, here is a current list of gofundmes to help those that have lost so much. Please consider donating or sharing to help our union kin. If you know animation folks not on the list, let me know so they can be added ❤️ airtable.com/appugwkqKAVG...

One of my former directors, Anthony Chun, a delightful human who has directed on many cartoons including Rick and Morty and King of the Hill, sadly lost his home in the fires. If you can spare anything, please help him and his family with two daughters out of a terrible situation. gofund.me/bd8fb758

Like everyone else in Los Angeles I know and love many people who lost everything yesterday. I set up this gofundme for my friends Shannon & Johnny, two top tier sweeties who lost their house and everything they own. Shannon is a fellow artist and Johnny is a carpenter. Any amount helps, thank you ❤️

Here is an ongoing list of LA restaurants that are offering shelter, food, and support to first responders and evacuees: bit.ly/LAaid

Absolutely numb n devastated by what has happened to so many folks here in LA. Many of my friends and colleagues have lost their homes and livelihoods, during what was already a tumultuous time for many of them. But despite the loss and devastation, we will support one another and rise again. ---

Some early background design work I did on the “Bears and the Beanstalk” episode for We Baby Bears! This was back before the tonal look was integrated fully into the art style and was more line-based. Very egg-themed.🍳 🐼 🐻‍❄️ 🐻 #backgrounddesign #animation #art #cartoonnetwork #webabybears

1 thing that's happening in animation (and across many art industries) is that it is pushing the most marginalized out first. Low income folks. Chronically ill folks. Black folks. Queer folks. Immigrants. These are ppl we need in our industry! We need these perspectives.

Revamped another old piece, added more advertisements and graffiti, kinda fitting considering the state of yknow *finger whirls* #backgrounddesign #animation #art
