Posted this a few months back, but I’m officially on the look again for someone who can produce a high-quality logo for an animated series!
Mutuals or friends of friends, if you can match the style of something similar to the Flapjack logo, please DM me!

One of my favorite episodes I wrote for Ariel, “The Marvelous Mahi-Mahi Brothers” finally airs today!
This is the first ep I pitched from start to finish, so it holds a special place for me.
I named the clownfish of the troupe Chuckster after the infamous fellas from Mario Sunshine, naturally.

Hey all! It's been 7 months since my last studio gig, and I'm still on the hunt! My unemployment ran out last week, so I could really use some income. I know things are about to move to a snails pace in the industry with the holidays, but I'm not slowing down!

Found an old email account I haven't used in a decade, and there's a single email from an unknown user with a text file that says... this. I'm unnerved and intrigued.

Saw this dystopian display at LA Comic con this past weekend.
A digital necromancy AI of Stan Lee that you have to pay money to have a completely soulless conversation with. What the hell are we even doing here.

One final piRATe’s character reveal!
Shelliot von Turtleton is the cowardly and pompous leader of the Royal Reptilian Navy. He thinks reptiles are better than rats, and that they don’t deserve to live in the sewers! Booooo!! 👎

Babe wake up, new piRATe’s just dropped.
Meet Wedge! This cute little cheese fly can track down cheese from a mile away with his nose. In fact, he’s like a living compass! He’s always hovering around Izzy, acting like her little parrot.
