Hey folks!!
Just swinging by to let you know, my next YT video "The Indie Animation Revolution // (PART ONE)" is currently uploading to YouTube!!
Normally, I grant you guys 24hr early access but unfortunately, due to technical hiccups, time crunches and a general lack of organization, it is now 2:20 in the morning for me and my video still has 2hrs 44mins left of upload time. I have a crazy busy day ahead of me tomorrow (anyone else attending Lightbox E...

Once I figure out how to clean up my absolute disaster of a Procreate file, I'll upload the PSD + speedpaint with commentary for my beloved $10 tier Patrons. Should be up once the instagram post is live!!
This was a fun little experiment of combining m...

Greetings, dear children. Today, I bring you some more CHEESY ART.
CLICK HERE for the speedpaint with commentary :) ($10 tier only)
I wanted to redo an old piece that was used as the jumping off point for my cheese plushie design. Initially, I was going to render the lil' guy as if he was made of cheese but I got carried away and went with fuzzy plush textu...

It's finally here!! A detailed video about applying to the CalArts Character Animation program!! This is one of my most frequent questions I get so I figured it's about time I make a video and tell prospective students what's what :P
A PDF of the script (containing extra info that didn't make the final cut!!) will be linked in the coming day or so. Honestly I've pulled several all-nighters for this so I just need to rest first lol.
Please enjoy this long video!! This is more pod...

Hey team!! Seeing as the New Year is now in full swing, I figured it's time I hold myself accountable and set some creative goals for the upcoming year:
Some important notes to get us started:
- I'll be taking a year off from my studies at CalArts starting in Fall! This means I hopefully can focus on more personal projects, YouTube etc.
- The animation world is super unpredictable and I need to pay rent!! If a decent job opportunity comes my way at any point in the yea...

Hey everybody!! Sorry for being so quiet these last few weeks. Lemme catch you up on where I've been and what's going on.
WARNING: Mopey, TMI Anya ahead.
As you likely know, I officially launched my merch store!! It was super fun and has been incredibly rewarding to see all the support for my products. An extra big thank you to those that bought merch :) I definitely wasn't prepared for how involved the promotional side of things would be though! Why do...

CalArts hosted its annual 48 hour film event last weekend (I actually organized it this year!) The theme ended up being "feral" and this was my submission haha.
Because I was busy running things and doing other work, I only made a 12 hour film but hey! It still counts, right?
And yes... I made all the sound effects :P

Y'all!!!! I'm SO excited!! I've been granted the awesome opportunity to get one of my cheese drawings turned into a plushie. This is something I've been wanting to do for several years and now it's finally happening :)
BUT FIRST
I need your input!! I'm torn between two options, both equally cheesy: Would you rather get the Emmental Tortoise or our very own $10 tier mascot - Cheese Chap? 🧀🧀
Emmental Tortoise

Ahhhh!!! I JUST got these in the mail this morning and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! 🧀🍌🍋
These are stickers that $10 tier patrons get after being a supporter for three months. If you've been a Cheese Chap for a little while, expect these lil' fellas to show up at your door in the coming weeks. All of this is being fulfilled by Patreon. I'm loving this new feature!!

Hey guys! Just wanted to swing by and apologize for being awol over the last month. Here's what's up:
I've been super busy with several jobs including freelance work and working for my school. My chronic fatigue has also been drifting in and out so I've been sleeping basically any time I possibly can. I'm tired of being tired lol.
I also visited my sister in Arizona last week so spent a few days focusing on having fun and enjoying the last leg of summer!!
What's ...

I shared a link to my Spotify account in a stream the other day and figured y'all might like access to it over here! I'm pretty terrible at making playlists: My technique is plopping every song I vaguely like into one playlist and only moving on until I hate about 50% of the songs haha.
More specifically though, I've created a playlist that I listen to when working on FiREWORKS!! I have sent it to my composer to use as reference. Perhaps you guys will also enjoy listening?

Hey everybody!
Whether you're a long-time patron, newbie patron or still debating if you'd like to financially support me, I figured I should let you in on my plans for this platform!!
Last week, I changed my Patreon arrangement from ONE tier to THREE. This was to provide options for what people deem to be their money's worth. Instead of a flat $4 a month, now you have the option of joining ja $1, $4 and $10 tier! 🍋🍌🧀
