I got invited on the Animation Kimunication podcast a few months ago, and that episode is finally up! It was a fun conversation about Kim Possible, the Brony fandom, and positive masculinity.
If you got an hour, check it out!
A few weeks ago I recorded an episode of the Animation Kimunication podcast with @ilovekimpossiblealot and it just released!
It was quite an interesting discussion! We talked about the Brony fandom and positive masculinity, Rainbow Dash Presents, and of course Kim Possible.

Sappy Personal Post ❤️
“Everything crashed down and I was left with rubble… I can’t stop and cry over the rubble as if I destroyed it. The TRUTH destroyed it. Reason killed it. It was destroyed by itself, because it was never anything to stand on.”
Ten years ago I journaled those words in reference to my Christian faith. This moment of self-reflection was the culmination of a years-long journey away from faith. It was significant for me because that was the first time I ever referred to my faith in the past tense - it would be the first time I openly accepted that I was no longer a Christian.
Leading up to this point were months of depression and self-loathing about where my Biblical research was taking me. For the longest time I had been guiltily blaming myself for the decay of my faith - as if it had been the result of personal shortcomings. This marked the moment in my life when I was finally able to stop hating myself for not being good enough, and accept that it was instead Christianity that was inherently flawed. In the ten years since putting religion behind me, I have taken a few missteps along the road of self discovery, but ultimately I have developed into a person I am proud to be. I have become a person more able to love myself and love others - ironically, as the Jesus of the Bible would have wanted me to be. If you are someone who is struggling with a fallout from faith, I want you to know that you have no reason to despair. There is life after faith. You are still you. There is so much joy and love to be found in this world.
here's all the mane 6 from Where Are We?
‘Where Are We?’ - My collaboration with @fimflamfilosophy is now live!
It's been years, but I drew some colorful horses for @fimflamfilosophy again! Check out the short on Dawnsomewhere: https://youtu.be/OMTKC7XZcSU?t=950
I have a surprise project I made with @fimflamfilosophy at the 15:50 mark!
Of all the animations I've done with Treatment, this animated PSA we made for the Spokane Valley Fire Department raising awareness about wildfires is my favorite! I really got to flex my artistic muscle a bit and get really granular with the vast beautiful paintings of the Spokane/Spokane Valley area. It was a lot of fun, and a little bizarre, portraying locations I see on a regular basis in a semi-apocalyptic context. Not only did I do the art and animation in this piece, I also got to write, pitch, and storyboard out the whole thing - so it really feels like my baby. I also tagged in my buddy Glacier to to the sound mixing this to really make the peice POP.
I recently made this lil animated ad for the local Spokane Valley Fire Department
Bingo Players & Disco Fries - Forever Love (feat. Viiq) [Official Music Video]
I learned a lot of cool new animation techniques from making the 2020 Body Pop video that I was excited to build off of and refine in this follow-up video. Fresh off of watching The American Epic docu-series about the early 20th century record industry, I was inspired by how music was able to bridge the American urban-rural divide and create a sense of shared culture and national unity. I wanted to incorporate some of that history into this video's narrative and draw from the imagery of early 20th century technology and Americana. I also created a color scheme that served to compliment the video's narrative. One of the original ideas that was pitched for the video was two groups of people with different color schemes coming together and blending colors. I liked that idea a lot and applied that concept to the urban and rural divide. The city starts off as muted cool tones, while the countryside is vibrant warm tones. Once music is introduced to the city, the vibrant warm colors of the countryside are brought into the city. I'm still really proud of this music video, and I'm excited to share it with y'all once again.
New Funky Panda art!
It’s been a while since I’ve made a new one of these- you may be seeing more from this coming year!
