Thank you all for your immense support for my animation recently. I'm back to reviving this project now, and it feels great to do so. I haven't shown much of my improvement since Iconoclasts, but not just my animation has improved immensely. Here's another Pepperbee guy: #pepperbee

Hello again! I am still looking for either full-time or contract work. I've been working in games for close to 15 years now and have done just about every role you can do on the 2D art side of things including UI, implementation, art directing and team management (and I actually love it all).

I never got around to reposting my Weird Duck Time comic this year! Also, unrelatedly, today is a good day to help out at standwithminnesota.com
A comic called the four seasons of bird watching. In panel 1, labeled elegant songbird spring, a yellow-throated vireo sings against a green background. In panel 2, labeled subtle treasures of summer, a hermit thrush stands on moss in a dark green forest. In panel 3 labeled magnificent fall migrations, broad-winged hawks soar over fall foliage. In panel 4, labeled weird duck time, a northern shoveler, surf scoter, and red-breasted merganser open their strange bills and yell.
