My hottest take is that I don't think animation HAS to be hard. Us artists tend to burden ourselves with expectations our audiences, algorithms, and tastes don't even care about. New video, new avatar, watch now :] youtu.be/w9G03puU5hk

My plan of tricking aspiring artists into getting a little more organized is going really well. Also, @obsidian.md is so good I had to shitpost a little. Real ones know who Quinn the robot girl is from. Anyway, I hope you like the video: youtu.be/DRBXGOr6faU?...

I wish someone explained tech art to me this way when I was first starting. Seriously, if you can solve "1x0=?" you're more capable of making cool stuff than you think! Don't be scared off from hearing that digital art involves a lot of math. Hope you like it :] youtu.be/ZD_yeypowtI?...

Legend says that if an artist gets a bingo on this card then they're guaranteed a prosperous online career for life:

Talking about how keeping my art to myself was unknowingly killing it, and how finally sharing imperfect work on YouTube changed me forever. It'll be one of those vids that underperforms but sticks in people's brains, aka my favorite kind to make. Hope you like it: youtu.be/1NUOhunZm4A?...
