I know getting my comic syndicated won’t be easy, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Maybe it will happen, maybe it won’t, but I can at least try.

Might as well post this character concept art for Valentine's Day. Fits quite well with the theme apparently. Meet Candi Lippe, the shinin' new model in town. #candilippe #humanoid #lips #red #characterdesign #1950sstyle #1960sstyle #celstyle #retrostyle #cartoonyartstyle #cartoonart

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

(1/2) So funny story (in a coincidental sense): once in elementary school, that hour we were doing presumably acrylic painting. I asked some of my friends to smell the paint on the paper with me and thought it smelled like "cool paint" similar to sea water, but one of them assumed I said "cocaine".

Spent the past few hours watching old 1955 Disney-produced American Motors commercials. They'd make for fun warmup sketches! Big fan of Tom Oreb's depictions of characters like Mickey and Donald - hope the more obscure adverts resurface in higher quality, they're pleasant to look at!

Sorry, I just thought it was fun to hop on the bandwagon. Perhaps, I should watch the second season of this series (already binged the first season when it first released) #maxthecat #peterthedog #squidgame #comparsion #artchallange #parodymemes #reference #cartoonart

Alright, what's your #comicsdna? The comics and books that were formative to you. At least four, more if you're nasty. Akin to most other people, there’s a lot for me to listen, but here are some of my favorite examples; growing up during childhood reading these:

1/2 As we close the curtains for 2024, I just wanna say on a personal perspective, it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences. I guess I could link the fact I had an opportunity to fly to some parts of Europe and driving to San Diego for a weekend that made this year worthwhile for me.

You know know, I really wish people started seeing Hanna-Barbera as "the studio that saved the goddamn American animation industry from collapse and revolutized a new animation industry". But most will just see them as "the studio that made cheap cartoons".

I just like this piece of animation. It just reminds me of Emery Hawkins animation or even Manny Gould.
