Happy Summer, Everybody! (Patreon)

Hello!  I wanted to give an update because I saw we had some new faces who may not be familiar with all the places I post art.  I have been swamped under a mountain of projects, but over summer I'll have some cool new things to show you from all that work.    Mostly freelance as usual, but higher budget than normal.  One of them was actually a short sketch for a major TV network, hush hush...  

I also had some time off in the past month and started storyboarding and talking to a composer for a short film idea.  It would serve as an introduction to the main Hoop-a-Joop characters, making it my first completely original animation project since Those Friggin Ferrets in 2014.  It is actually sort of an adaptation of a thing I tried to animate when I was 12 so it's cool to see that come full circle.  I am not sure when it will be completed since I will likely continue to split the production time with my freelance work and currently-unreliable dayjob, but the first pass of this short's storyboards are already completed and it is mostly silent so it shouldn't be too complicated to create.

In the mean time, I have finally started setting up a queue and posting my big backlog of sketches to my art blog:   https://thatsdisturbing.tumblr.com/

I want to keep it mostly spoiler free for now, but I intend to get into all sorts of art I've forgotten to post over the years.  I currently have 1-3 posts scheduled each Monday until the end of July and will continue to add more to the schedule.  Eventually I want to get around to scanning my numerous sketchbooks and sharing some of the different stages of my original ideas with you.  There will be fanart too of course.

$5+ patrons have access to extra posts with links to a private art blog where I get into more spoilery aspects of my personal projects (mostly characters with plot-specific arcs or depictions of origin stories).  For those members I will make a reminder post in a few minutes with the link and password so it's easy to find.  I don't think I've had to post anything spoilery recently but there is a bunch of stuff already there.
