Hello friends! Recently I rolled off of Big Nate after a truly amazing past 4 years working on my first production in the industry. While I have been enjoying the break, Iโm on the hunt for new gigs! Full time, freelance, animation, games, hmu!

*deep inhale* Starting a new platform is always a little (very) intimidating but I've always wanted to try and expand into the twitter-verse. To get the ball rolling, here's some of my stuff that I've done in the past year or so!
TODAY'S THE DAY! Our boy finally hits your living room screens on Paramount +
I'm so incredibly proud of everyone on this team and the work they achieved, all from the comfort of our bedroom closets and makeshift offices for the past almost 2 years. I hope you all like it!
Samus Aran โ finally 100% my first run in Metroid Dread and I absolutely loved this game, and in particular, how this UNIT of a Queen was handled in it. Silent and stoic Samus is the best Samus and sheโs out here giving the boys a run for their money!

Tyranitar vs Duraludon โ I had soo much fun making this Godzilla movie poster inspired stand-off between these two kaiju Pokemon, and the fact that theyโre natural rivals in the lore is just too perfect ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ค

Today I turned 30! ๐ Iโve officially left my 20โs behind and with that I canโt help but feel so incredibly proud and thankful for the journey they wrote for me. Iโm at peace with myself and my relationships and I couldnโt ask for more really ๐
Peeler Lake 8/4-8/6 โ Survived my 3rd backpacking trip and this time we hiked 15 miles out-and-back to Peeler Lake. Def one of the most challenging but rewarding hikes Iโve been on and staying out there two nights gave me just enough time to turn off my work brain and enjoy it ๐
Hopping on the bandwagon ๐คญ

Some more DJ-themed characters I made exploring the aesthetic and how it can be applied to character classes in a video game. Here's a mage and heavy type!
Zion - been chipping away at this one since our trip to Zion National Park last month. We saw so many canyoneers and rock climbers and while I love the aesthetics of it, I donโt think Iโd every try it myself ๐

Was on a hike today and saw this bat flying over the stream catching bugs so I started recording and got the moment he flew too close and was swept up. I RAN down the trail and jumped in where I was able to spot him coming over a small drop and snatched him out. He lived! ๐ญ๐๐ผ๐ฆ
S2 of Big Nate is live on
@paramountplus
!! Check out that glorious key art.
It was very important to us to get Amy and Chad in there for S2, and I'm so happy we did it.
Misty vibes today hiking to Jones Peak and I ran into another horned lizard! This is the second one Iโve found since living in SoCal and by far the biggest. Truly a lil dragon
Got a puppy today! Everyone meet Petey the panther chameleon! About a month ago I set up a bioactive enclosure and monitored it closely to make sure it was ready for him when I finally took him in. So excited to finally be a dad and form a bond with this funky lizard ๐ฅน
One of our first good looks at the vibe of the showโs lighting and style way back when! Quintin always knocked these out of the park ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Big Nate is officially released on
@paramountplus
so that means years of art to drop!
One of my favorite paintings on the project. Our AD had the team create several style images. I was lucky enough to get a stab at one. Character designs by our fantastic

Went to a screening for the new TMNT movie last night at Nick and it was soo good! The art, voice acting, humor, pacing, the MUSIC.. all of it was top notch ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Ofc we had to pop into Zion while we were in the area ๐คญ The narrows were closed due to high water levels and angelโs landing has a lottery system to hike it so we were like umm.. letโs drive to an overlook I guess? But honestly Iโm glad we did bc wow.. what a view
James โ sketched this guy on the plane from Korea and decided to finish it! Tbh the most fun designing characters is when they become crushes ๐

For those that might not be aware, artists are taking a stand against AI art generation and Loish lays out the issues weโre facing beautifully in this thread. Itโs not copying, itโs theft.
