It's been a busy winter break! I've been taking tests and trying to improve my boarding skills. Here's a little peek at some of them!

Boarding is a lot of fun and I can feel myself getting faster and making staging decisions is becoming more intuitive, which allows me more time to do personal work!

Hope everyone has a happy holiday! See you in 2014!

Totally forgot to upload the 48 hour film Stevie Borbolla and I worked on together.

It was a really fun and educational experience, though I wish we had dedicated more time to the pre-production stages instead of jumping right into it. However we're both pretty proud of the results and I'm hoping those sleepless nights made me a better animator overall!

Also I've been in a comic-making mood for a while...

Hoping to do something, even small over winter break if I'm not bogged down with film work!

Brainstorming potential film ideas!! I'm pretty set on doing it about a middle schooler frog that wears a raincoat...so I guess that means you guys should get hyped.

Animal Crossing guys. Don't play it (PLay iT)

These boards a little old, but still worth showing! It started off as a silly boarding exercise, but I thought it'd be good practice to clean them up and make them presentable for the world to see!

Hey!! Have some drawings of a character I made as a collaborative project with some friends. I ended up really liking her a lot so you'll probably be seeing her quite a bit!

Her name's Dotty and she is very energetic, impulsive, and kinda violent. She's in a gang in space!

They get into a lot of dumb hijinks.

Hello, hi!

I haven't really made myself acquainted with blogspot, but it's never too late! Hey!

I'm a lot less exhausted looking because I finished my first year film!

It was one of the best experiences I've had at school thus far and it taught me sooo much. I'm already ready to move on to my next film!!
