Set a new half marathon personal best this morning πŸ₯³ πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ 1:56:36!!! The last two I've done I'd just fallen short of my PB, and I recently took several weeks off running from an injury, so I didn't even think I'd be in PB shape for this one!

Can't believe this was a whole year ago!

πŸ’₯ Heyo! We're looking for a PROP DESIGNER & CHARACTER DESIGNER to help us with 'Heathens', our indie animation series! Yes, this is PAID >:) so if you like anime and funni demons, please consider reading and applying via the info doc here! Deadline: 15TH JAN! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Just published my 2024 recap blog post. A LOT happened this year! Read on Newgrounds: zeedox.newgrounds.com/news/post/14... Read on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/pulse/2024-r...

Would recommend any professional artist buy a second wacom pen as a backup. Would have been in a bit of trouble today if I hadn't πŸ˜ƒ

Looking forward to 2025 as the year I run my first full marathon! I'll be running in the Adelaide Marathon in May, and then Melbourne Marathon in October.

Race day tomorrow, running my 4th half marathon. Particularly excited about this one since so many of my friends are also running, and I'm also by far the most fit I've been going into one, so could be a big personal best!

Lucky enough to snag an entry into the 2025 Melbourne Marathon this morning! Looking forward to training for my first full marathon

Going to be speaking to a class of students tomorrow, talking about my journey in the industry and doing a Q&A. Should be fun!

While background supervising on Smiling Friends S2 I painted a few reusable space assets for my artists to drag and drop into their backgrounds on the episode 'Charlie, Pim, and Bill vs. The Alien' 🌌

One of my favorite locations I designed on Smiling Friends S2 - the alien rumpus room!

My job on Hazbin Hotel is evolving this week and I'm stepping up into the role of background layout lead πŸ₯³

Another background I made for the Fallout TV series Vault Seller's Survival Guide at Studio Showoff

One of my favourite backgrounds I did at Studio Showoff for Ep 2 of the Vault Seller's Survival Guide from the Fallout TV Show πŸ’­ 🏑

I checked back into the Hazbin Hotel this week for another season of backgrounds! Here's a little drawing I made to celebrate πŸ₯³

Just a few days until more Smiling Friends! Here's a throwback to some color roughs I made for season 1

A few plein air drawings around Melbourne in April πŸŒžπŸŒ³πŸ‚

Smiling Friends Season 2 trailer dropped yesterday! Get ready May 12th for a show that's been making me laugh the entire time I've been working on it www.youtube.com/watch?v=61aR...

Ep 1 of Smiling Friends S2 premiered last night! Worked on it as a BG supervisor the last year. Out of any project I've worked on I've put more into Smiling Friends S2 and it's the thing I'm most proud of yet, so finally watching it and seeing my background supervisor credit was a big moment!

I've been busy background supervising for the last year on Smiling Friends Season 2, and you can finally see what we've been up to this Sunday on Adult Swim!! πŸŽ‰

Yesterday I finished up the last task on the to-do list of the show I've been background supervisor on for the last year! πŸ₯³

Rosie has a bass in a cage because at the time my bass had a cage around it to protect it from our dog and Sam found that really funny. Hazbin Hotel facts.

HAPPY HAZBIN HOTEL RELEASE DAY!!! Very lucky I got to help out on such an incredible show!!!

Happy new year! ✨Excited for 2024 being a year I can show off more work! Between various shelved projects, Koala man where I supervised with little spare time to design anything myself, and projects I can't share, haven't had much new work to show publicly for nearly two years

Published my 2023 recap blog post. This year has turned out to be of my favorites! I've been quietly cooking up some exciting projects and reaching big goals. Read it here: zeedox.newgrounds.com/news/post/14...

Merry Christmas to everyone except the Neopets devs, because I bought two Candychan stamps back in the 2000s and left them collecting dust in my old account ever since

Sad to see Final Space getting removed from Netflix. I learned so much from when I got to work on layouts on season 2. It's also the gig that made me move interstate for my career, a decision I've never looked back on!

Who saw the new Hazbin Hotel trailer?? One of the backgrounds I did the layout for snuck in!! Here's a screengrab.

Ran my first half marathon today in 2:15:15. That's my 2023 new years resolution checked off!

A few bgs I did on the most recent Helluva Boss ep. THE SONGS ARE SO GOOD.

While running today I swallowed a fly that decided to fly straight into my throat I did get a 5k PB though!

Hey #PortfolioDay πŸ‘‹ I’m Greg, a background supervisor, background artist, layout artist and board games illustrator who's previously worked on shows such as Smiling Friends and Hazbin Hotel! I’m next available for any job or freelance opportunities very late this year.

Today photoshop froze, so I tried taking a screenshot to not lose the rough sketch I did, but the whole PC was frozen, so I pulled out my phone to take a photo of the screen while I still could and right at that moment I STARTED GETTING A PHONE CALL and it made me miss the chance.

A few BG layouts from the Helluva Boss S2E5 backgrounds I did
