Excited to finally show off all the hard work from the background team

I'm taking questions over on instagram and we're off to a good start 😆

*SINCE last year oops

Been background supervising on Smooling Fronds last year! Exciting to finally show a little bit of what we've been working on

Been really quiet the last year and a half while layout leading and background supervising on some really huge things but it's all going to be coming out really soon 😱

Congrats!!

FUCKKK I’M SO HYPED 😭

Woohooo!!

Was meant to travelling to Adelaide this weekend to run my first marathon but I injured my knee two months ago and it didn't heal fast enough, so I had to cancel 😭

Melbourne marathon is later this year, so at least I get a second attempt right away at a 5 month training block

One of the very first things I designed on Smiling Friends S2! Here's an early version of the Insane Ground Breaking Games lobby design and color rough.

Hello #PortfolioDay ✨ I'm Greg, a background artist. Currently background supervising at Adult Swim.

Some of my previous highlights include Smiling Friends, Hazbin Hotel, Final Space, Fallout, Koala Man, Helluva Boss and Animaniacs.

Haven't had much work to share on social media lately but behind the scenes it's been non-stop busy background supervising on some big things, plus training for my first marathon and not much time for anything else.

Set a new half marathon personal best this morning 🥳 🏃‍♂️ 1:56:36!!!

The last two I've done I'd just fallen short of my PB, and I recently took several weeks off running from an injury, so I didn't even think I'd be in PB shape for this one!

Can't believe this was a whole year ago!

Congrats!! What an awesome opportunity

Congrats, that's so cool!! 🤩

Would recommend any professional artist buy a second wacom pen as a backup.

Would have been in a bit of trouble today if I hadn't 😃

Looking forward to 2025 as the year I run my first full marathon! I'll be running in the Adelaide Marathon in May, and then Melbourne Marathon in October.

Race day tomorrow, running my 4th half marathon.

Particularly excited about this one since so many of my friends are also running, and I'm also by far the most fit I've been going into one, so could be a big personal best!

Lucky enough to snag an entry into the 2025 Melbourne Marathon this morning!

Looking forward to training for my first full marathon

For most of the 2010s, twitter. Then at a point Instagram became more useful - more people I knew through the industry used it and its a better format for showing off art. Then in recent years LinkedIn has been the fastest growing and the most consistent.

Going to be speaking to a class of students tomorrow, talking about my journey in the industry and doing a Q&A. Should be fun!

So many new followers today so it's a great time to reintroduce myself!

I'm Greg, a background artist. I'm a background supervisor on Smiling Friends and a BG layout lead on Hazbin Hotel.

While background supervising on Smiling Friends S2 I painted a few reusable space assets for my artists to drag and drop into their backgrounds on the episode 'Charlie, Pim, and Bill vs. The Alien' 🌌
