Thanks to a buddy from my Turner days, I was brought on to the retakes animation team for the Adult Swim show “Smiling Friends” to help them put the finishing touches on S3. Ep01 of S3 premieres tonight at 11:30pm on Adult Swim, and a day later on HBO Max. It’s a funny, well-done show! Check it out!

I was there! This was also the only Lower Decks panel (of the 3) that Fred attended. I told him he was on the guest list but he kept thinking he was crashing.

"Howl at the Dead", an award-winning short horror film written and directed by my old pal Gregg Bishop is now online!
A few years back, he asked me to do some animations in the style of old cartoons from the 30's, to be used in the background on the boy's TV in his bedroom at night. Check it out! 🎃

One year ago today animation wrapped on Star Trek Lower Decks. It was the best of times.

I got to work on 27 total episodes (plus 1 episode of Strange New Worlds) of this fantastic, funny and heart-warming series.

Star Trek Lower Decks, Season 1 Episode 1. This was the very first shot I animated on the show. It was a fairly easy shot of Captain Freeman walking up to Commander Ransom and Lieutenant Shax having a drink while the Cerritos crew celebrates a successful mission.

Here's the big sequence I animated for Star Trek Lower Decks season 5 episode "Dos Cerritos" which includes the Reverse Riker! Usually we would get all the shots of a single sequence since there's typically poses and things you can reuse along the way.

1 year ago today:

“Man, it was HARD to keep working on my scenes after we got the cancellation news. I have loved animating on this show and wish it would have lasted forever! Well, at least a few more years. Retirement looms! Thanks, Mike, Tawny, Jack and everyone else from this Lower Decker!

Well, it’s the one year anniversary of Lower Decks getting cancelled. I was intending to re-share my year-old post about it and comment on it, but I somehow deleted the old post instead. So, I guess this is the commentary, and I’ll recreate that old post next.
