What are we doing Lakers? AD is that dude. Should have retired as a Laker. No replacing someone like that especially as a big 😓

I know we have Luka now but this duo man 🥹😭

Does your animated character have a “popsicle head?” 🤔🍭 Jacob Gardner (Head of Animation at Agora.Studio) shares why adding flexibility to the neck is key to making your animation feel more natural. #agoracommunity #animationtips #agorastudio #animation #zootopia

The what has felt like the inevitable has happened…My studio was just shut down and I now no longer have a job. I can’t even fully process what has just happened

What a day…

Hoping to get out this mini funk soon. Didn’t think the layoff would be hitting me this hard mentally

Thinking I may need to jump back into retail and work multiple jobs…. This job market for animators is horrendous

You told God that you needed a sign. And He made sure this post found its way to your screen. He understands the weight you’re carrying concerning your family, your career, and your finances. God is speaking to you today, saying, ‘You don’t need to carry those burdens. Give it

I’m still getting the “Sunday scaries” worse than when I’d get it occasionally while I was actually employed. Except this is more so knowing the anxiety I’ll have fretting over every notification going off on my phone in hopes it’s a recruiter inviting me for an interview 🥲

I made a quick shot breakdown of the cartoony shot that I did years back at AnimationMentor. Nothing fancy as far as the editing goes but thought it'd be fun to share :). Huge thanks to my mentor for that class, Nick Kondo, and afterward Drew Adams for helping me polish it up!

Had an interview today for foods back at Disneyland. Far from what I’ve been doing in the animation industry for the last 7 years but that’s the reality of the situation. Gotta keep moving forward

The feeling of feeling like you’re damaged goods or unwanted was something I did not foresee happening once the layoff hit. But MAN it feels like it. The skills and talent I once felt like I had now almost seem like they’re worthless or invaluable. Be glad when this is over

No more feeling sorry myself…just simply time to prove some people wrong. Gotta get to work

Wanted the lakers to win this season but everyone knew this wasn’t a good enough roster after the AD trade 🤷🏿‍♂️. Need a legit big and young athletic wing

Being out of a job right now and fully focused on job hunting I haven’t even had time to be nearly as pissed off at the Lakers for losing as I’d normally be 😂. Horrible way to end their season 🤦🏿‍♂️

Slowly getting some interview traction as of late. Hopefully this is a sign of things turning around for me 🙏🏿

I just got strung along in an interview process for close to three months, had a great feeling about it only to wake up to an email, with almost no sincerity, saying they’ve decided to move forward with another candidate. I have no words…but I’m almost at a point where I give up

Bend Studio laid off a bunch of people today. I was a part of the layoffs. I did my best. Hopefully I can find a new team to join.
