Sup friend. I'm Katie, a 2D Animator. I've worked on shows like MythBusters, Snoopy in Space, My Little Pony & Dorg van Dango. I'm also multi-classing as a Fantasy Illustrator with a penchant for drawing dogs in armour.

My first Canadian vote! Sadly, they don't have sausage sizzles at voting spots up here, so I'll have to get my own democracy sausage later.
News is out! I'm honoured to have been selected as Animation director for ACE 4. This is a crazy talented team and I'm really looking forward to making a film with them. Big thanks to the ACE organisers and WIA.
✨#ACECanada and #WIAVancouver Announce Final Cohort 4 Participants: 9 artists were selected to participate in the immersive training program for mid to high-level animation professionals who identify as women and non-binary; will work together over the next year to create a short film, with mentorship and guidance, to earn a ‘key credit.’ bit.ly/3ZNJFUF #WIA #NetflixCanada #Animation #AnimationWorld

Sooo nice catching up the ninja turtles crew again. Of course there was a lot of pizza, and I finally got my Sexy Rod, drawn by one of our anim directors, Douglas.
I'm glad folks have enjoyed seeing all the roughs and storyboards from the TMNT crew. Just so you know, it's extremely rare that we're allowed to share this stuff. Most clients don't let us show anything publicly, not even finished shots with watermarks.
Some clients don't even want our names in the credits, just a vague mention of the animation studio. It really does hurt our ability to get a name for ourselves as artists, and on a personal note, it's just sad to not be able to show the stuff we're proud of.
Alrighty, one more. Ray Fillet pulling Raph from the water and *nearly* giving him the kiss of life was one of my favourite scenes. Sometimes, popping animation with no in-betweens is the best way to go. #TalesOfTheTMNT

It's crazy how cruel people(fans & peers alike) can be, while outsource studios work with half the crew, a quarter of the time, & a fraction of the pay that TAG offers
It's rough in Canada, but even rougher in SEA countries. & folks are still making stunning work, despite it all

It bothers me sometimes how some animation workers in the US will talk about the artists in other countries in ways that in my view kinda dehumanize them. Like, no, they're not just "the outsourcers"--they're teams of talented human beings who love animation like the rest of us.
Fellow aussies will know where we go the inspiration from, but we made a dino zoo cake over the weekend. Pretty pleased with it!
It was so cool working on an action show with lots of fight scenes. Here's my roughs for a fight between Leo and Mustang Sally. The storyboards for this sequence were really solid, which helped a lot. #TMNT #talesoftheTMNT

Do you have a sticker for his saddle or patch for his saddle blanket that says “this machine tramples fascists“?
