#IndieAnimationDay Hey! For real! If just a FRACTION of my followers watched a half hour of content on my cartoon channel, we could monetize and I could start properly compensating my dedicated apprentices. We have a TON of stuff to choose from, so please give us a try! 👇

A word to those who feel lonely on this holiday… “Romantic Love” is a wonderful thing… but it’s not EVERYTHING. I only found it when I sincerely stopped looking for it, and I only sincerely stopped looking for it when I sincerely achieved a sense of self worth. Cont.

Had a dream last night that I was at a party being hosted by @vivziepop.bsky.social and found myself doing that thing I do where I worry WAY too much about whether or not anyone would like me.

Artwork I made for the underdog short I helped animate. Watch it again closely. Did you spot my drawing? #indieanimation

I wrote this and it became a dog whistle for shitty writers because they were immediately butt-hurt 🤣

"Writer" isn't a "job". It's an artistic, personal, intellectual & spiritual mandate demanded by something inexplicable within yourself. If you follow that mandate, rise to each challenge relentlessly & become exceptional, you MIGHT be able to parlay it into a “career". Maybe.

This is gonna hurt, so brace yourselves… You can’t just be a writer. Sorry. You also have to be something else. Be a lawyer. Be a stand up comic. Be a waiter. Be a dentist. Be a janitor. But you can’t just be a writer. Otherwise your writing is just writer-y.

I'm happy to have been a production assistant and thumbnail artist for this animated short. The crew did a great job. Check it out!

Bummer the Clown has been unleashed into the world! I'm happy to share that I've contributed music for the intro, background, and credits. Fun fact: Despite playing guitar for over a decade, this is the first time it's "published" in a polished format. Hope ya'll enjoy and have a laugh! 👾

TODAY AT 1pm EST! Follow the link in replies for some clownish laffs - and, if you’re not careful, you just might learn something along the way!
