It's never too late to fix your old drawings! Re-did this Beast Boy Gorilla pose from #TeenTitansGo Season 1 that I was never happy with as part of an animation design lecture about "pushing" your drawings to give them a greater sense of action. Now I can stop obsessing over that shit 😜

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Really miss working at the cartoon factory w/all my pals.

Character development for Warner Bros. Animation's new Krypto Saves the Day! shorts from late 2024. Under the direction of Ryan Kramer, I had to blast out rough concepts to present to James Gunn himself to help get the shorts greenlit. You can watch the first short on YouTube: youtu.be/nPm9ezfa6Qo

In late 2024 I did some character development for Warner Bros. Animation’s new Krypto Saves the Day! shorts. I’ll get around to sharing my designs soon, but you read more about the shorts here (and be sure to check out the first short on YouTube!) www.awn.com/news/warner-...

Spruced some of my old #PowerpuffGirls artwork from the "Moral Decay" ep (plus fixed a few old mistakes 😜), alongside a screenshot the final frame. #CartoonNetwork

Random TV screen image from #PowerpuffGirls. Always fun drawing stylized cartoon animals👍 #CartoonNetwork

They made a toy out of my #MojoJojo design 😃 (Sort of?). Check out @culturefly.com’s awesome mini vinyl figure based off of my art from the classic #PowerpuffGirls “Rowdy Rough Boys” ep!

There are only a few “bucket list” characters/properties I have not gotten to draw professionally. I would make time for the following: 1. STAR WARS 2. Batman (Did poses of Geneva Hodgson's design on TTG) 3. Peanuts (Closest I got was doing TTG as Peanuts) 4. Legend of Zelda What are yours?

To all professionals (and retirees) in the film, television, theatre, entertainment & arts world, join the challenge to post a photo of you in your job. Just a pic, no description. The goal is to flood social media with our profession. Copy the text and post a pic on YOUR page.

Some childhood #Superman & #Krypto (+ Superboy?) art for your moviegoing weekend.

More old Stuff: Beast Boy Lion from Teen Titans GO! They usually always gave me all of BB's animal transformations, so I was always cracking open my vintage Provensens or Mary Blair books since they're always my go-to source for animal design 👍#teentitansgo #warnerbrosanimation #characterdesign

Yesterday, #SB630 and #AB1138 passed. This is great news for this legislation to expand tax credits for film & TV in California, but we aren't done yet! Take two minutes to submit a letter to key elected officials. Details & letter form here: bit.ly/KCR_ReelJobsNeedRealAction #KeepCaliforniaRolling

As someone born & raised in CA, I grew up knowing that the majority of entertainment workers here are WORKING CLASS families. If you love animation, contact your local reps and help #KeepCaliforniaRolling ✊https://actionnetwork.org/letters/keep-california-rolling-reel-jobs-need-real-action-now

All I want is to be able to program my Roomba to make R2-D2 noises when it's finished cleaning. Is that too much to ask?
