When I was a full time dog trainer I made little animations in my free time.. this one explains how when you teach leave it, you want to capture the moment the dog disengages and reward it. So much of dog training is about timing. Much like animation, ha. #nerdbreathanimation #dogtraining

I really miss getting froyo in NYC on my breaks working at an animation studio. I miss the cool people I met so much. I used to regret picking NYC over LA but now that I’m almost 40 I realize how lucky I had it. I miss NYC!!!!!!

When @gerrark.bsky.social informed me she had no tail wrap sticker, I had to immediately remedy the situation… #nerdbreathart #skunk #fox #hypnosis #furry

#🐙OCTOber Day 6! @technicolorpie.bsky.social but octopus! the 'hair' is collected seaweed pie: "i cant kelp myself!"

lost in the supermarket 🛒 a yet unfinished project from two years ago

Eepy old man. #cat #cats His name is Christopher "Hams" Redfield. He's a very good boy, and I'm trying to keep him comfy as long as possible, but it is expensive. Help is appreciated, any merch purchased on my ko-fi goes to cat care. ko-fi.com/hellbreakfast

I’m in the mood to crawl into a deep burrow and turn into bones.

sometimes I make lil puppets, animate them and then abandon them, never to be seen again. Maybe i should revisit this guy. #nerdbreathart #nerdbreathanimation #animation

The thing I love the most about animating is that feeling about an hour in when you say to yourself, “hey this actually looks pretty good!!” It’s one of the most powerful feelings imaginable.

My nephew has an OC. His name is Angleri. It’s an anglerfish.

sometimes I’m sad and then I remember I have a nephew that loves me and wants to be around me all the time and I feel happy again.

Our feature tutorial/artist todays is this TRANSFORMATION animation, by the talented @tonikopantoja.bsky.social! IMPACT is established through both ANTICIPATION and REACTION - that RIGHT ARM SLIP is an excellent example of the physical DISCORDANCE with what’s happening. CHANGE = INTEREST! #animation

MORGANICA! I've had this alien lady for a lil while but could never quite settle on a look for her...until now!  She's an intergalactic valley girl and as such enjoys the finer things in life - shopping, burgers, biting people, etc. She's very expressive and her outfit is very Y2K inspired. Golly!

this character is extremely fun to draw. #jax #tadc #theamazingdigitalcircus #nerdbreathart

Doodle of my babies

I have a new welsh terrier client, I’m sure I will fall in love with her and end up drawing her aaaaaaa

GAHHHH I miss working in clean-up. It was so soothing to zone out to. I used to hate inking but after getting a clean-up job I fell in love with it.

It's still Dinosaur week! Here's another commercial that didn't make my cut. For more obscure dino ads, check out my NEW VIDEO www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4EX... Dudley the Dinosaur PSA (1994) from the American Dental Association

The Looney Tunes shorts with Nasty Canasta are some of my all time favs but quotes from this one, Barbary-Coast Bunny (1956), have become part of everyday vernacular. ESPECIALLY the way Bugs says Teleophones.

Do you want to enter the animation industry, are you new to it? dont listen to anyone who says you have to *PAY YOUR DUES*. Dont come in and listen to people tell you how it is, come in and tell others HOW ITS GONNA BE. disrupt the shit out of this stagnant industry

SO much incredible animation is happening and I love it so much. Art, uh, finds a way.

I’m gonna lean into tadc and see where it takes me. Love a good obsession after trauma. Mom would not have liked this at all. LOL she would have been so confused by it. I think. I genuinely don’t know. I would definitely show it to her if she were still here.

heheeh *shakes your pomni* #TADC

For the lovely @pawdrugs.bsky.social . So, so happy with this 💜❤️‍🔥 It's a trade but we can categorize this as #fanart :3

Snakesona by @gooseworx.bsky.social ... 916 polygons, i should probably fix the tail later now that im thinking about it

HMMMMM I wonder who I will be drawing today….. 👀

If you have panic attacks or anxiety and you don’t know about diaphragmatic breathing, you absolutely need to learn it. It changed my life.

looking at this art like a war torn soldier looking at a beat up polaroid of his wife. something to keep me going.

i'm still unlearning it but devaluing yourself in conversation with people who value you doesn't make them feel better about themselves or something, it just makes them and you both feel hurt

The Frank & Ollie documentary is a delight, but also wild that they each bought a house in La Canada Flintridge on an animator's salary? Ollie also owned multiple trains?? Anyway unions are good + raise the minimum wage. www.southerncalifornialivesteamers.com/show_tip.asp... #animation

Finally sat down to watch the amazing digital circus and, I think this is what I need right now. Funny how things come to us when we need them. I anticipate fanart…

Is it possible to be manic and depressed at the same time? Cuz damn.

COMMS OPEN! will be taking 2 or 3 this time around. Pls dm me here or on twitter or tumblr if interested :3 #furry #yoshi #mlp #pooltoy

Will never forget my dying mother stroking my hair while in her hospital bed, saying “Look, Al. The red is coming in.” I started growing my hair out this year so that she could play with it one last time. It was such a tender moment. Like from a movie. Unreal.

I know I will fall asleep instantly if I close my eyes but I don’t want to. I don’t want to lose any more time. But I’m so tired I want to sleep. I just want to be surrounded by friends.

fungal friend

she is sad and misses her mom.

Rolled off my last project a few weeks ago, and am currently looking for any animation work. If you know of any projects that could use a character animator with over a decade experience in the industry, I'd greatly appreciate it! I'm also open for retakes and directing work.
