Hello Twit-Nation, "The Twits" is out this weekend! From show to film, I had a blast working with the Netflix crew to share this grotesquely gorgeous tale.

Sending my wishes out to all creatives making the best of trying times, and for a world free from exploitation and bigotry. #storyboard

Two images arranged vertically. Above the title card of "The Twits," as seen in the 2025 Netflix movie. The Triperot city water tower spews pink hotdog meat out into an explosion, soon to cover the rest of the city. Below, a teaser photo of the whole Netflix staff against a bolt of lightning.

Two images arranged vertically. Above, the flobnorble has jumped onto the ground, racing manically around the furniture. Beesha, Bubsy, and the mugglewumps watch it from above. Below the same shot as rendered in the film.

Two images arranged vertically. Above, a storyboard panel of the Dungle family cheering for the Twits during their mayoral debate. Below, the same shot as rendered in the film.

Two images arranged vertically. Above, a storyboard panel of Mr. and Mrs. Twit walking disheveled away from the ruined Twitlandia, trudging their way back to their home. Below, another storyboard panel, featuring the Roly-Poly Bird and various crows flying around him with glue-covered paintbrushes in their talons.

Diary Drawing - 9/18/25

An array of five "hearts" drawn against a white background in a cartoonish style. First, a conventional red heart symbol drawn with a glossy white highlight. Second, a heart symbol made of glass, slightly cracked. Third, a golden lock. Fourth, a hand grenade. Fifth, an anatomical heart drawn slightly more realistically, severed and lying in a small pool of blood. The caption reads, "Pick a heart to wear today."

Been enjoying playing through Hollow Knight

The protagonist of hollow knight spots a grub trapped in a jar. Eager to rescure, they slam the glass jar with all their might sending glass everywhere. The protagonist and grub stand in apathetic silence, full of glass.

Figure drawings from Go Figure, a pop up life drawing event hosted by Nick Sung, focusing on pushing (leaning!!) the figure in the Tom Gately/Walt Stanchfield school of thought. Incredibly fun and refreshing! Nice to push my drawing limits.

Drawing of a woman with her hair tied in a bun, leaning forward while seated backwards on a chair. She wears a tank top, heeled ankle boots and sweater tied around her waist. Drawn in black ink.

Two drawings of a woman wearing a tank top, heeled boots, three-quarter length pants and a sweater tied around her waist, arranged side by side. On the left she stands with her hands on her hips, facing the viewer with a stern expression. On the right she stands confidently with her weight on her right leg and left hand resting on a chair. Drawn in black ink.

Sketchbook pages from August! Drawings from Central Park and the end of summer show at SAYA.

Several views of a school auditorium drawn in orange, yellow and blue ink. School mentors guide elementary age students to their seats, while teachers and students wait patiently for the show to come. Some staff members stand and chat amongst each other, while another sits with his eyes closed, phone in hand. In a small frame the stage is drawn with the curtains still closed.

Several fifth graders seated in a school auditorium, dressed in cowboy dance costumes, viewed from the side. They are drawn primarily in orange, yellow, purple and pink ink.

A man, woman, and their fluffy, black and white dog enjoying a picnic on the lawn in Central Park South. The man lies on his back while the woman sits chatting with him. The dog stands between them, smiling with its mouth open. Drawn in black and gray ink.

Another illustration made for the Young Storytellers, a program to give youth opportunities to write and produce their own stories and performances. “The Macaron Quest” tells the tale of two friends, Marionette and Jane, and the challenges they face as they strive to open up their own macaron shop.

An illustration of the story "The Macaron Quest" by June Brooks and Silvana Palma Ruiz. It depicts colorful macarons stacked on a plate, a green striped tea cup, and a grey and brown snail.

This summer I got to teach an ecosystem-themed animation curriculum to some fantastic elementary schoolers! For our rainforest week each student colored their own frame of parrot animation to create this collaborative animation collage.

Unrestrained Summer Fun

Single panel digital comic featuring the artist as a teacher, standing in the midst of an elementary school classroom in glue-filled disarray. Glue bottles fly through the classroom as students apply glue to their arms and peel it off their bodies. One student says, “I’m a snaaake,” as another slips and falls on a stray glue bottle.
