Please read. I have some updates regarding my YouTube channel and future plans for StudioCRJ. 💙 #CRJSWIMS #ObjectShowCommunity #BFDI #InanimateInsanity

NEW WORK ✏️ The Summer of ’90 Pastel on paper 21 ½" × 24 ½" #CRJSWIMS #ObjectShowCommunity

NEW WORK ✏️ SWIMS—In Elements Digital prints and colored pencil on paper 72" × 16" #CRJSWIMS #ObjectShowCommunity

NEW WORK: WALL-E Triptych ✏️ Inspired by the cinematography of Pixar’s #WALLE, I translated some film stills into real-life drawings that take one through WALL-E and EVE’s story in a more traditional yet still impactful way. (Except for the last film still. I made that one up.)

Recent work: Angucircumeter ⚒️ Another class assignment—this time for Form Study. I was tasked with making an abstract object from scratch using cardboard, papier-mâché, and only vague descriptors of an original source object (which was a combination square if you’re curious).

Recent work: It’s Better with Friends ✏️ First time posting a work of art in a while! This was my first assignment for my Drawing Projects class this semester, and I wanted to do something positive with the #CRJSWIMS cast in a multi-frame format. Had a lot of fun with this one! #ObjectShowCommunity

I’m going LIVE on YouTube tonight at 7 p.m. EST! My friends and I will be chatting, answering your questions, drawing, and havin’ a good time in general. We might even play Minecraft or talk about SWIMS a little more… :o Hope to see you there!! 💙

So the SWIMS squad decided it’d be a grand idea to travel back in time to 2016 and live out their lives in that timeline, so they look like this now. Sorry, chat… 💔 #CRJSWIMS #ObjectShowCommunity

My name is Carter Janik, and I am the creator of StudioCRJ. If you recognize either of those names, please watch my newest YouTube video releasing tonight at 6 PM EST. I have a few updates I wanna share. 💙 #CRJSWIMS #ObjectShowCommunity #BFDI #InanimateInsanity

Working hard on my new update video for the StudioCRJ YouTube channel!! Here’s a little sneak peek of one of the on-screen graphics featuring the whole #CRJSWIMS squad! 💙 #ObjectShowCommunity

I had the opportunity to create a thirty-second tip clip for @msbonnieart.bsky.social’s 100 Object Show Tips, and I decided to cover reference footage in animation!! :D 🎞️🔥 YouTube link and a surprise thing I made in the thread below! 🧵 #OSC #ObjectShowCommunity

Happy New Year, everyone!!! :D 🎉💙 Keep an eye out for an update video coming soon to my YouTube channel! #OSC #ObjectShowCommunity

You guys aren’t ready for this one. 🎞️🔥💙 #OSC #ObjectShowCommunity #BFDI

🖌️ SWIMS—In Pixels Decided to revamp my old pixel art piece from 2023 but with all the new #CRJSWIMS characters and designs! This time, I wanted to make them truer to their actual designs/proportions and make them animate a little. Oh, and Luna’s very silly as always. :) #OSC #pear36

I talked about this on Twitter already, but I think I’m gonna start sharing stuff I’m working on more casually in the future, since I’d rather not keep you guys waiting for polished content for eons. To start, here’s some new drawings of my OCs for #CRJSWIMS! Who do you guys like the most?? #OSC

So, Art Fight was a thing in the big 2025, and I have some banger artworks to show! Hooray!!! 🧵 (Yes, I’m doing this a month after the event ended because August practically flew by for me. Hope you don’t mind!) — CRJ 💙

(5/17) And to round off the friend group, it’s Iris Kōsetsu, the snow-woman with the warmest of hearts! ☃️ (P.S. Her actual name is 降雪あいりす, but you can just call her Iris!)

(4/17) Here comes the technological mastermind (with good intentions, of course): Spencer Vibratek! 📺

(3/17) Thirsty? It’s OK: it happens to be the best of us. Luckily, Warren Aquarius is here to help! 🚰

(2/17) Sam Woodsworth might not be as bright visually, but they’ll show the way to happiness alright! 🪧

(1/17) Starting with the brightest of them all, it’s Myles Fotona! 🛋️

Welcome to the official account of SWIMS, an animation and illustration project featuring the best friend group of five you could ever ask for and more!! Speaking of, let’s meet the main cast, shall we? 🧵 #CRJSWIMS #OSC
