This feels like a dream! Can’t believe a film I worked on is featured in @animag. I used to read this mag on the train years ago wishing I could get into the industry. God is so good. #Keeppushing and #fightforyourdreams! You only fail when you stop trying.

Our film To The Letter just won first prize at the 2022 @AnimationAfro Virtual Summit!!! Out of 500 films submitted, we were one of 16 semi-finalists, all beautiful films. Humbled to be a part of such a wonderful film & work with so many talented artists. @schoolonwheels

Frank Tagliano from @lilyhammer I love the characters in this show. Hilarious. @StevieVanZandt’s expressive faces are glorious. #lilyhammer @netflix

“Thanks a lot!” Since this character has no mouth, I thought to try animating sign language for thanks. @autodesk_maya_studio @learningsignlanguage #animationmentor #stewart #characteranimation #maya

This was the first shot I had the pleasure of animating right after grad school. I tried to relay the gravity of the moment through her expressions. Check out our short “To The Letter” on YouTube. youtu.be/6SC7T12F_1g @schoolonwheels @cbsstudios @AdskMaya @academy_of_art

For this #BlackHistoryMonth I had the pleasure of collaborating with @ElPolloLoco and @BrandedArts to bring my piece "Forward" to life as a mural. #Forward is an invitation to reflect on where we've been and where we're going in the Black community.

❤️ this! So applicable to any art form!; ANIMATE things that make you happy and want to ANIMATE more -> once you have the muscle memory to SET KEYS where you want them, ANIMATE things that challenge you -> make peace with the fact you will make bad ANIMATION -> Repeat
Replying to @Coelasquid
If you want to improve your art the secret sauce is; Draw things that make you happy and want to draw more -> once you have the muscle memory to put lines where you want them, draw things that challenge you -> make peace with the fact you will make bad drawings -> Repeat

RIP, Sir Frank. Praying peace and comfort to the family. 💙🤍🙏🏽 @WilliamsRacing @F1 #f1royalty #williamsf1
Question for animators out there who also render their anim. What do you use? I want to dive into renders and have started exploring Arnold, but want to check Blender and Unreal (zero knowledge) as well. Any other recommendations? Redshift?
