please please please vote - everyone's been working so hard to get animation union involvement. It's so easy, just an online vote. It took 2 seconds. I'm literally begging you - things are not going to get better if we cannot get our members involved for even this simple thing.
Cartoon Network Studios will begin producing original feature-length films for HBO Max. The first is "DRIFTWOOD," from director Victor Courtright, which stars a spacefaring mouse.

Mass testing is a big issue in the industry. One production sent out mass tests to me and a lot of my friends, and even some artists who have already had a history with the show, proving that they are just going down a list and mass emailing. It’s not cool.
Here's some board / final comparisons for some shots of mine that were in the trailer LOL - Jellystone was my first experience writing outlines for boards as well! Doing all the voices for these characters while pitching was definitely crazy - I'm excited to see the episodes!
If you watched this weeks

Although im psyched with the new animated content previews Netflix is showing (convenient timing.....) I'm still not forgetting them cancelling over 6 animated projects in a month and dismantling their whole animation department. It's messed up!
Here's a section of one of my eps on
#Jellystone
- Super proud of this cause I wrote the outline and boarded it! The animation team made it so amazing..and design killed it with the jelly stuff and revisions did a lot for crowd and clarification, it was a weird crazy ep! haha
Clarence is the only cartoon I know that has done families realistically - thinking about my family and my friends parents growing up…everyone was so weird and had such specific personalities and details in their homes and cars and Clarence nailed that
all of the couples on love is blind should have immediately hung up an accent wall to test their relationship bc drew and I were about to go nuts but here it is...👍
Animation, especially TV is so different now: demands for cinematic stuff on low low budgets, shortening schedules, jobs cut and combined onto someone else, artists being harassed by fans for stuff they have no control over, things need to change.

because the company is laying off so many good and talented people. Companies do not care for our well being, and they underestimate our power.

we cannot be taken advantage of anymore by the sporadic back and forth of new media.
Driftwood was a career highlight for sure even though I was only on a short time. Amazing crew who inspired me constantly. Coolest planet designs ever. They can keep taking away these projects but they won't take away the positive experiences my coworkers gave me.
Ok,LinkedIn is pretty great. There's no ads in between posts, my feed is nothing but people sharing artwork and exciting stuff they're working on in animation and im meeting cool new people in animation/seeing their work. If you're on there feel free to reply here & I'll find ya!
BUG AND SKULL 2 is something
@OldLadyBoats
and I have been doing for fun between work and stuff. We made a first video with these character over 5 years ago and wanted to revisit them. Hope you dig it!
Since season 1 it was so important to the crew that every character was equally dumb & funny- it was important that even though Cindy was a smart scientist she wasnt a downer/stick in the mud & still wanted to be fun & crazy like everyone else. She's my fav, this gag is amazing🥹
mfw people coming after the Thundercats Roar board artists for the teen titans go ep when we didn’t even know it was happening until it was finished LOL
