one week ago, my very first fully storyboarded episode of Puppy Dog Pals aired on TV!!

i drew these boards over a year ago and it's surreal to see them fully rendered and animated in 3D. and not just in a few select shots per episode like when i was a revisionist, but through out the ENTIRE episode.

i'm having a hard time putting what i'm feeling into words. how do you describe achieving a goal/dream you've had basically your whole life? everything i've been through, the crippling depression, the overwhelming anxiety, the (very) late diagnosis of ADHD, the seven years of school, all the failures, all the luck, all the support, all the time- it was all worth it.

and the best part is that this is just the beginning. i've been lucky enough to be working on Puppy Dog Pals for the past 3+ years. i've been a storyboard artist for a little over one of those years with about 8 episodes under my belt so far. The next episode I worked on airs in late September. i don't think it's been officially announced yet so i don't think i can give any more detail than that haha.

thanks for all the support everyone, and extra thanks to Liz Seidman for sending me that first email back in 2015 and taking a chance on this anxious recent college grad. ❤️

so a year ago i drew this picture as a Christmas gift for my dad. however, Puppy Dog Pals had not yet aired at that time so other than a single printed copy i mailed to my dad, no one else has seen this.

~until now~

Merry Christmas, friends. <3

Hey, I think something's wrong with your blog? I tried looking at it on my desktop and it froze my computer. Dashboard view seems fine, but actually going to your blog seems to cause some sort of strain on the computers' memory.

hey! thanks for bringing this to my attention. that’s super weird, Firefox crashed real hard when i scrolled down several pages. :\

i’ve switched from infinite scrolling to next/prev page format. that should fix it unless it’s actually and individual post that’s nuking everything. let me know if you encounter any more stability issues on this blog!

miss the premiere of Puppy Dog Pals this morning? ME TOO but luckily the full first episode is up on YouTube!! the second one is up on DisneyJr’s channel but you gotta enter your cable company’s info in order to watch it.

i’m so so SO proud to have to been able to work on this show as a storyboard revisionist with our big family of a crew. it was an incredible experience that’s impossible to put into words. i hope everyone enjoys watching it! if your have any younger relatives or little kids of your own, i’d love to know what they think of Bingo and Rolly!

here’s hoping for a season 2!!!

HEY YOU THERE

WELL HOT DAMN THIS IS YOUR LUCKY DAY!!

100% of the proceeds will go to Child's Play, a nonprofit organization that helps improve the lives of children in hospitals and domestic violence shelters through the generosity and kindness of the video game industry and the power of play. (they give ‘em video games!!)

my Bowser print and all other SHMash prints are available ONLY April 4-25, 2016 on shmash.storenvy.com
