Hey 2021!

2 min read

It's been three years since my last update here omg. 2020 flew by in a blur, but I guess 2019 and 2018 did too.


I've been working from home in quarantine since march 2020 and still here ha ha.

But I'm turning 28 tomorrow! yahoo

I'm currently working as a lead background designer at Bento Box Atlanta and really having a good time and working with some amazing artists day to day.


Since my last update here:

- I got nominated for a daytime Emmy for work on a Netflix series called "The Who Was Show"

- Several other shows I worked on have gotten released including: Dicktown, Paradise PD seasons 1-3, The Masked Singer season 4, Hoops season 1, and Central Park season 1.

- I bought a condo around the Atlanta area.

- I adopted a third cat (Cookie).

- I made a bunch of great friends in and around the Atlanta area, really found a community here.



and I'm generally living out here and growing. I'm in a pretty positive place in my life and working to keep it that way.

I mostly update on twitter and Instagram now, easiest way to reach me is through twitter.


Hope ya'll are staying safe out there and continue living your best life.

2018!

I'm 25 now!  This last year I adopted two kittens, got a new job at Floyd County Productions, made a lot of new friends!
New job is still background illustration for 2D animation, I'll let ya'll know when the project I'm working on gets released.

Some of the stuff I did at Bentobox Atlanta go published!   If you want to check it out, I did BGs for The Who Was Show (Netflix) and design + production BGs for this movie called The New Adventures of PaddlePop (Or Max the Lion).  I even have my own Imdb page: www.imdb.com/name/nm9376260/

Still doing some conventions, been to Momocon, Hamacon so far and I'm signed up to vend at Dragoncon (Atlanta), Anime Weekend Atlanta, and Conapalooza in TN!  

I guess that's my update for now XD

All my journals are now annual and surprised at the movement of time ha ha.

This last year has been really crazy for me! I finally moved out from my parent's house, got a job in animation, have my own apartment with my BF and things are looking up!  Been very very busy with work and some conventions.  Not sure how many of you still check this place anymore, but wanted to let you know I'm still alive.  I live in Atlanta Georgia now :U If any of you live in the area hit me up!  

This has also been the year that I've made the most art but haven't been able to post any of it for NDA reasons but hopefully someday soon I'll be able to point out the projects I've been working on.  

Conwise I've been to (or had an assistant sell at) Tekkocon/221B, Treklanta, Momocon/Megacon, and Hamacon this year.  On the horizon are Otakon, Dragoncon, and Awa!  But in the next couple years I'll probably have to focus on only local cons and a couple out of town cons max because of work.  We'll see!  Very excited about selling at Dragoncon for the first time * o *

It's definitely been a very big year of growth for me.  Learned a lot about drawing backgrounds and networking.  Also having to learn all over again how to meet people and make friends with no school structure to force people together.  School was so safe and so structured.  If you're still in school savor it.  It just isn't the same afterwards. and I never have to go to school ever again if I don't want to but dang do I miss everyone.  


Yeah!  That's how things are going right now.  Hope you're all doing well! <3
