Things this summer can be on some tight schedules during this time because my Auntie Candi has already offered me to take part-time shifts at Slo' Bones BBQ Smokehaus in Frankenmuth, MI anytime I come to Clio and I've also been working hard on my projects lately

My Auntie Candi and I just started working on restoring my walkaround Bancy foam head base with gorilla hot glue sticks, hot glue nozzle, and low-tak masking tape to hold the parts in place. And now it's ready for the masking tape patterns and then the fur & fabric application

Walkies with my sister at Jackson Crossing Mall are amazing! Kiddie rides, claw machines and some coin op faves are great for my nephew Ammon! #Michigan #Malls #CoinOpArcades #Nostalgia #JacksonMI

Forget A.I.! If you were a 2D hand-drawn animator, let's pick up that pencil, along w/ that ream of pre-punched animation paper and prepare to make real 2D hand drawn animated content for all ages! #StandWithAnimation #DownWithAI #AnimationIsCinema #ToonLivesMatter

After My Auntie Candi and I enjoyed our lunch outing at Marino's in Spring Arbor, MI (with a few round of claw machines), we watched one of our favorite classic Disney movies from the 1961-1989 Xerox-era of Disney hand drawn animated classics on Disney+ 😁👍🏻👍🏻❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

(Fixed) It's best we remember that Pixar's upcoming movie "Elio" (slated for June 2025 theatrical release) will be successful! So, we gotta share the awareness by using these hashtags: #HelpRestoreTheDisneyMagic #SavePixar #SaveDisney #AnimationIsCinema

Since I got my own 3D printer for xmas, I might plan to use it for making 3D printed parts for 1:6 scale arcade games, 1:4 scale indoor play area, & a 1:4 scale animatronic show inspired by CEC It's like my own mini sized arcade fun center compatible w/ 5" to 16" plushies, nuimos, Replicade, etc.

Oh well 😅... Back to where I left of on planning on my first full size animatronic character... This time, it's Fat Rat as a full-bodied cyberamic character! I still have the drum set and now I am planning to save up for the materials to build the character someday, pneumatics and all!
