I normally don’t post work’s in progress but figured maybe this would be a good way of holding myself accountable. Here’s hoping maybe I can wrap this up for around Halloween. Hope you enjoy, and follow along for progress. #handdrawnanimation #penciltest #roughanimation #abbottandcostello

This line’s lived rent-free in my head for years, finally had to commit it to paper.

A hand-drawn tribute to one of the coldest truths ever delivered on screen.

It goes by fast - blink and it’s gone. But in animation, there’s no such thing as a small scene. Loved this cozy shot with an incredible layout by Bob McKnight. #thedaytheearthblewup #porkydaffy #handdrawnanimation #traditionalanimation #2danimation #framebyframe #animationart #looneytunes

Hahaha best post ever 🙌

Too much to talk about with this shot. So many talented people, who worked so hard to bring it to life. I’ll simply say, this shot was a real treat to do. A true cherry on top. I’m forever grateful to have had a hand in it.

Gorgeous storyboards by @jasonreicher.bsky.social

Best crew of all time. Top of the mountain for sure, so thankful for it all. 🙌

So funny you mention that! I was reflecting on that this morning.

When Pete told me he had a movie brewing, he mentioned how I’d like what he was coming up with. “You’re a fan of Abbott and Costello, I think you’ll like what we have going on.” So literally that drawing was me reacting to Pete!

Today’s the day, folks! The Day The Earth Blew Up is finally out in the world. A film made with a whole lot of love for everyone—young and young at heart—and I couldn’t be prouder of the incredible team that brought it to life. If you check it out, I truly hope you enjoy it.

Long live 2D animation!

Thank you brother, means so much 🙌

Been chipping away at this little exercise whenever I can get a free minute. Had a lot of fun playing, hope you enjoy this Leslie Loop. #thenakedguntrilogy #leslieneilson #frankdrebbin #frankdrebinpolicesquad #animation #animationart #penciltest #traditionalanimation #2danimation #cartoon

More Jane pencil tests;
The first few drawings are my rough "stick-figure" version of Jane; the remainder are my "tie down" drawings and "inbetweens" from an Assistant.

Tarzan was done first, by another animator. Then I animated Jane reacting.
