Hello everyone, 'tis I! I'm still looking for animation work, so I've updated my 2D character animation reel: now featuring samples of work I've done for Solar Opposites & the Gametoons YouTube channel. The content featured belong to their respective studios/rights holders. Thanks for watching!

I’m so happy that these were released and Eric was able to experience their massive success.

My jaw dropped upon reading about Eric Bauza. Absolutely gutting and heartbreaking. Part of me still can’t believe the news.

Let’s have some fun. What are your favorite Street Fighter games? Here are my five favs in the franchise: 1. Ultra SF IV (the game that got me into drills, practice, and the FGC) 2. SF 6 3. SF Alpha 3 4. SF III: Third Strike 5. Super SF II Turbo HD Remix

“It’s hard to avoid playing games with Gen Ai in them.” Play old games. Play games from 2008. Play games from 1998. Play games from 1988.

Happy #PortfolioDay gang! I’m currently Art Directing my dream-show: #SCALE As a former senior production artist on #CampCamp #NomadOfNowhere #DeathBattle #RecordedByArizal I’ve been putting a lot of effort into applying my experience and it’s been really rewarding! www.patreon.com/cw/_SCALE_

Hey hey, Earthlings! 👽 In case you missed it on Hulu, Season 6 of Solar Opposites is now on Netflix for your viewing pleasure. 🛸 Our art and animation crew loved working on it, and it would mean the world if y’all checked out our Schlorpian (and The Wall) shenanigans! #SolarOpposites #Netflix

Feels bad, man. NGL, I’m worried about how US animation, film, and TV jobs are going to be affected in the coming months.

So I’m only about two hours into Legend of the Galactic Heroes (the OVA series, ‘cuz it’s completed) and it’s already better than 90% of anime I’ve seen.

I saw this flyer while out attending an event over the weekend. The humanities matter.

Happy #caturday! Say hello to Si and Cheeto. I’ve been pet sitting for family over the last few days and they’re very sweet, chill cats. Taking care of them has been a breeze and a joy! 🐱

It sucks to see a family member you love go down the AI “Art” slop path. I hope that cheap dopamine hit and not having to use your brain was worth it.

Howdy, animation folks! I'm available for work & happy to share my new 2D compositing reel; now updated with samples of work I've done for Solar Opposites S6 & Gametoons. If you'd like to team up on a project, don't hesitate to email or DM me! Thanks and enjoy! Portfolio: www.willbanimating.com

HAPPY GOLDEN AXE WEEK! All episodes drop on P+ on Wednesday.

I would really really love it if Toon Boom had a version of Harmony for the iPad. That would be game-changing. Life-changing, even. NOTE: I know, use, and really like the animation programs that already exist on iPad. ToonSquid is really cool and Procreate Dreams gets even better with each update.

UNIONS

Rad! I’ll continue to support and recommend their products.

Holy hell, what a week. RIP Tim Curry. He was awesome in his live-action roles, but much of my favorite work from him was in the VO/animation world. He really embraced hamming it up. youtu.be/1r_CmhWIHBI?...

RIP Dolly Parton. I can’t think of other talents that have left an impact across generations, creeds, and mediums quite like she has.

Some folks are gonna need an Ippo Room to fit all those manga volumes.

Once I had money and access to the uncut DVDs and even some fansub tapes, I ditched the old English dub and never looked back. Thanks goodness Kai came around and opened up an opportunity for the Texas crew to fix a lot of stuff.

The first season of Star Trek: Lower Decks with met with a lot of similar hate and dismissal that Im seeing towards Golden Axe. Give it a chance! Mike McMahan shows always have a good heart at the center.

I don't mean this in an alarmist way, it's just to emphasize that this industry has always been pretty small, aside from the brief streaming boom that started in the early 2020s. Mergers don't help anyone but the 1% desperate to hoard wealth

Tom Savini is a fucking legend. And he lost everything. His home. His beloved pets. His life's work - work that served as the foundation of the horror we hold most dear. There isn't the character count to list his legacy here. If you can, please consider donating. www.gofundme.com/f/support-to...

Forgot to mention it on here, but I was laid off recently and am currently looking for new animation opportunities; games, shows or otherwise. Invincible VS was a fun project, it's a total delight to work on a fighting game! Attached a reel of a few anims I did for it:

Fable hit the nail right on the head.

I know most of everyone on here couldn't care less about Electronic Arts products, but now you can care EVEN LESS THAN THAT

Discotek Media always runs fun panels! Just, *mwah*, chef’s kiss. Even if I’m not a fan of every single announcement, I respect that they put their absolute best into every release. I’d go as a far as to call them the Criterion of anime as far as the quality and content packed into their discs.

Didn't want to open our doors without something new to share so here's a new episode as well! Employee Evaluations are certainly a bit different from what I remember going through... #indieanimation

July 4th is pretty chill so far. Eating dinner with my family and Rusty is the star attraction and attention hog.

If you're a creative person, do you have friends and family that actually care about anything you make?

It has never been easier to just play older games, indie and AA they are basically just telling you to do that anyway, there’s like 2 good AAA games a year tops who cares go to your local dump and get a crt, build a retropi, pirate more games, burn discs, etc
