Testing out the functionality of the wordpress app on my new phone! Looks like it works which is a good thing.

I’ve updated my demo reel with some new shots and exercises. I also updated it on the demo reel page. Please, have a look:

Redid the design of this blog, which it was pretty overdue for. After about 3 years I feel like it kinda needed it. And I thought it was also a good time to kind of check in! I’m living in San Francisco now and this city is amazing! I can’t wait to get out and [...]

I got back to Minnesota a week ago and have been traveling around, seeing friends, etc. I’m here in Minnesota for one more week before making my next step. I haven’t 100% decided what it is it, but it’s probably going to be out in San Francisco.

I just moved out of my apartment yesterday and will be couch surfing in Japan for about a week before going back to America and starting a new life again.

I just downloaded some pictures online and then traced them, so they’re nothing special, but it’s a lot of fun to learn about. It’ll be interesting to [...]

I’ve been going to a figure drawing class at Osaka whenever I’ve had some free time recently. Here’s some of the best sketches I came up with today: I really need to get a scanner or something.

I took a short trip to Tokyo the past couple days so I wasn’t able to make anything new. But I worked on this short animation exercise for a few hours today. It’s a very simple weight shift exercise where the character simply shifts his weight from one leg to the other. It’s not entertaining [...]
