Proud to announce that I’m going to be swimming 5K for the Endometriosis Foundation of America’s End Endo 5K!

Endo is something that I, along with 1 in 10 people with a uterus, live with. To join me in supporting Endo research and advocacy, tap the link below!

I hold the belief that art is meant to unite us with a shared interest in telling stories and it's something not separated by borders. I promise I will never shun artists because of their birthplace or government decisions they have no say in.

2D animation is booming in theaters. In China, the film Nobody is outgrossing many of Hollywood's recent CG films—on a $10< million budget.

It's only one example. As 2D films rise, Hollywood's decision to kill them off looks shortsighted. We explore:

artists support each other when systems will not. there's little safety net. it is resilience. artists are not your competitors. artists are your peers, mentors, and the ones who will defend the ability to create sustainably.

to those who struggle to continue drawing,
you are an artist.

Hi #DoctorWho fans, random question, would you like Matt Berry to appear as a special guest star on Doctor Who? I personally would love him to voice an alien!

I’m so saddened to hear that Britt Allcroft has passed away. My thoughts go out to her family during this difficult time. Britt, all I can say is thank you, thank you for making our childhoods. You made the world a bit more magical & uplifting. We’re really going miss you. Rest in peace. ❤️
