iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

And I have more resources and more skills now than ever before, which makes me more independent. So it's never been truer for me thay if i wanna be the sort of person who leads creative projects i gotta... Y'know... Start leading creative projects.

020

I'm hoping that before the end of the year, I'll have more of a clean slate and more energy than I started the year with. I'll have finished the prep work which will allow me to do some of the more ambitious things I've been chewing on. My health is in a better spot now than it has been for a while.

Anyone over 40 can confirm that it's more a matter of physical and mental energy than anything else to be able to take on more. The older you get, you just get tired. Momentum and focus come at a cost. The idea pile keeps getting bigger, and you can only pick up one thing at a time.

This means leading more creative projects of my own. My experience tells me that every business partner/studio you have in terms in finances is always on their own agenda, and you always have compromises with them. So I'd like to be able to do those projects independently.

First, I love my job on Paw Patrol and wouldn't leave. But also I'm at a point in my career where I don't really want to chase a bigger paycheck, more prestige or notoriety, or be associated with any other brands. Really I just want to express myself and see what comes out.

Same, but you can find it in other ways. Spin up a Linux distro on an old PC, rice out the UI, and make it a emulation box, and plug it into whatever you have lying around. The process of making it yours is where the fun is.

I like retro tech but honestly I wouldn't encourage anyone to buy an old or clone console, a 30 year old TV, or dump money on tapes. I find analog tech often unwieldy. Just find a way to enjoy things that feels unique to you. Ricing, modding, and tinkering is where most of the fun is.

Eh, depends. There is a huge demand for some fields (shaders, rigging, rendering for example) and others (storyboarding, design, animation) are certainly way more competitive.

come work in animation we're all either autistic or just weird like me

ohnotomsutton @ohnotomsutton.com · 09/04/2026

Probably not a great time to start in the middle of a house move, but the rest of the year, I'm going to try to increase my capacity for productive work. I feel like I was on a decline last year, then I was putting extra energy into my health and fitness. Now I'm ready to start trying to do more.

things to get used to in your 40s - trim eyebrows weekly - complete underarm hygiene regimen (you get stinkier) - knees hurt - dog is best friend and role model - monitor salt intake - intentional zone 2 cardio - younger people make you feel sad - "why do i still have this?" - "whats this lump"

There are lots of resources & forums for that sort of thing here, going back to the original PS1 release: ffhacktics.com

ohnotomsutton @ohnotomsutton.com · 06/01/2026

TNG, Lupin III, ATLA & Korra, Dirty Pair, Ranma 1/2. I used to really like Kitchen Nightmares but that got old. If you can get up on a adblocked youtube, any ASMR dessert baking channel.

there's always that feeling like "I can't execute that, i must not be good enough" and while you can always improve your craft and learn new skills, you can only create something wholly unique to you. i've worked with world-class talent, everyone feels this way

ohnotomsutton @ohnotomsutton.com · 09/11/2025

imposter syndrome never goes away, because any time anyone makes something to express themselves in a way you find appealing, you'll wish you could make and express the same thing, and you simply can't, because you're not them

I hate how morning people hijacked society. Y'all making me show up somewhere before 9am? That's as cruel as me showing up to your house in the middle of the night and banging on the door.

The NES game library is full of technical wonders! One of my favorite effects has to be the spotlights 🔦 in "Rescue: The Embassy Mission." What’s even cooler is how SIMPLE it is to achieve if you know the tricks! Let me break it down for you! 🧵 #nesdev #screenshotsaturday

As might be expected, works for reading #SNES controllers over Link Port too. (at least, this one). On the screen are a bunch of sequential reads with different buttons pressed and their matching bits cleared. #GameBoy #SuperNintendo

A bit late for #PortfolioDay but it's been a while since I've done one of these anyway, would be good to reintroduce myself: I'm Juanito, lead artist at Nitrome. I pushed pixels on Shovel Knight Dig's DLC and TMNT Shredder's Revenge.
