Superseed is looking for senior animators. Work with a great studio, great team, and fully remote! You might get to work with some of my rigs too 🤫

RIP, Billy. What an amazing guy. He was so honest and true. Years ago, Billy gave me some great advice and was always happy to listen. Dammit. Cherish the time you have with people.

I’ve set up quite a few calls in the past few days with my leads & key people.
What for?
Simply to tell them that I trust them. That they don’t need my permission to make decisions & push for excellence. That even if they make a mistake I have their back.

I believe, that this is the way.

Spirit Crossing, the game I've been AD'ing at Spry Fox since 2019 just got announced!

A prosocial MMO where you connect with others to build and maintain a community while helping wayward Spirits in need;

I've been very lucky to work with this team on this game

I guess I'll join in too! #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

Heya friends, I'm Joel! I'm the Principal Animator at Giant Squid working on Sword of the Sea! Wow, I guess I've been in game dev for almost 10 years now!

Not at GDC, but I gave a talk in the Tricks of the Trade a few years ago!

Big fan of dragons.

Not really complaining, but my whole discover feed on here is cats.
Every so often a dog, which is nice too.

My daughter just handed me this drawing as she happily declared:
“Daddy I drew you!”

Honestly, I’m proud.

Happy Friday, everyone!

With GDC right around the corner, here's a shameless plug to help you kill an hour by watching my talk from the 2016 Animation Summit.

Overwatch Animation - How A Hero Is Mei'd

(Oh my god, its been almost 10 years...what is happening)

With the industry in a slump and money even harder to come by we wondered if we could help, in our small but unique way, by offering our services to those in need for FREE!

Wait.

Wait wait. I’ve been real busy the past few days, but my wife just told me about the mice thing.

Transgendered mice!? He. No, he said this? With a straight face?

I can’t.

Oh my. I just. Wow I can’t. This would be so hilarious if it wasn’t so scary.

I said this to my team recently & feel it’s worth repeating here.

When you’re part of a healthy animation team you are never alone. Your peers help you refine ideas, push through blockers, & support you to succeed.

Building this type of culture on your own team starts with just one thing: trust.

Hi Friends, I was sick a couple weeks ago which allowed me to get some rest and(more importantly) catch up on some cartoons.
Don't sleep on the new TMNT show on Paramount! Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is definitely worth your time.

So great to see such expressive and fun #animation.
