This is my official Instagram account, which will be used exclusive for Reels and announcements like fan meetups.

I have a big Shorts initiative that I'll be launching in the coming months, posting on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and here in Bluesky.

I'll need to replenish my coffers pretty badly after my wedding and move. 🤣

When I'm back home, I'm going to go into full pander mode with some highly requested videos and getting back into full swing with Shorts / TikToks.

Formally announcing the success of my ad-free and sponsor free initiative that I implemented last year. Don't worry, it's not going anywhere and I'll STILL be providing 100% free content, same day as the YouTube releases.

My upload schedule is going to be a little wonky because I'll be in Mexico, having a second wedding with my wife for her family that was unable to make it up to the States for our little courthouse wedding last year.

I should still have a video or two coming out in the coming months!

Twin Peaks meets superheroes with The Pedestrian, one of the oddest comics on the market right now that's able to go toe to toe with Batman and Spider-Man on the awards stage.

Even if folks like this new format, I might go back to live action simply because PNGtubing could add more time to the editing process.

But I feel like the channel is on the verge of leveling up and I just have no idea what can get us to that next tier up...

Obviously, we split all of the money from Crossover 50/50, but this is still based on your design and is being used for a whole new project. I'd be happy to pay you again for it. 🙂

I genuinely can't thank you enough for your original work and for letting me use this avatar for so long!

I know you're not really doing commissions these days, not to mention that your style has evolved since then, hence why I needed to go with a new artist.

Hopefully, everything will be ready to debut for the upcoming History of Mr. Mxyzptlk video, which will be part live action and part PNGtube to emulate his cross-media appearances.

If folks don't like the format, no harm no foul. We'll be back to normal live action. 👍

I've been messing around with the WIP rig and by making the shirt into a green screen, we'll be able to dress him up based on the video's subject, even recreating my old merch designs from years ago.

Folks have expressed interest that they want less of me on screen. Fair enough.

It's not done just yet, but I'll be giving this new PNGTube model a whirl by @clownpantsu.bsky.social, based on the amazing work that @detectivex.bsky.social did for our days on Crossover.
