Here’s a fun page I did of some silly sheep

Here's a cute little study I did of some baby bok choy. I really love illustrating cute things in simple shapes.

Honestly, credit everybody. Just get into that habit.

There’s nothing quite like seeing the amazing work and artistry that goes into stop-motion animation.

#Ardman is still at the top of their game.

❤️ I'm just ITCHING to get back into directing. This episode was so fun to work on. It was the first one we directed in the series and we used it to help set the tone and pace we wanted for the rest of the series.

Hope you dig it!

Love these!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

I'm so happy to finally have #robotdreams on Blu-ray!! I haven't actually seen it yet so I'm really excited.

I always tell people that one great way to support #animation and independent #films is to purchase physical copies.

Oh wow! Love that figure! Great design.

#bluesky feels like a return to authenticity. Like, we’re all getting to start over again.

Fun little character I was doodling. Drawing can be so relaxing.

Aw, I'm so glad you enjoyed the series and what I was able to contribute!😊

Lol! No, unfortunately I can't take credit for that one. They described him to me that way when they hired me. It was interesting trying to figure out how to put a human face on a dartboard.

Hey, #kidlit folk!
What's a quirky book 📖 from your childhood that people might not know you love ❤️?
I'll go first.

Loved this one growing up.

Give them away! Donate them. Just get the outta there haha!

Yup! You don't get a solid team who get to work and grow together over years and years on the same production. I just wrapped on the directorial team of a new kid series and it was the best experience I've ever had in my contract ended and they couldn't place me on anything else.

Are there animation industry folks on here?

Back between 2019 and 2020, I worked as a posing artist and a production designer on an animated series called Big Blue (on CBC gem). Here are some designs I did early into production.

All designs are property of Guru Studio.

Years back, I was commissioned to do some designs concepts for the lead characters of an adult animated comedy called "Doomsday Brothers". The final designs ended up very different but it was fun to work on.

Nothing like doing some goofy doodlin’ when trying to figure out character designs.

The picture of a monochromatic kids book, mainly in black and white with touches of red. It’s the picture of two girls in a very detailed and ornate frame. One is reading a red cover book, the other is looking forward toward the viewer up above the title. The title says in large letter “Into The Goblin Market”.

I just LOVE #kidlit. Ever since I was a kid, it kicked off my journey into my love of #storytelling, #design, and #animation.

I recently picked up this beautiful book “Into The Goblin Market” written by #VikkiVansickle and illustrated by the super talented #JensineEckwall.
