Perhaps the most effort I’ve ever put into the stupidest punchline, but this drawing is so good that I had to do something with it. Go see The Day the Earth Blew Up!! If we’re lucky, this’ll be the next Snow White remake!
EARLY BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR @taxlthomas who has really become a patron saint of pigs and ducks!! I modeled the rendering here off of Tom (happy coincidence!!) McKimson’s Little Golden Book illustrations, which was super fun to fiddle with!
(This also serves as yet another reminder to GO SEE THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP!)
Realized I never posted the panels preceding this, in which we celebrate "Patrick's Day". (...for a few moments, anyway). Such an incredibly bizarre and fun episode to work on!
Never in my life has there ever been a movie more made for me, specifically. BIGGEST and most heartfelt of congratulations to my friends and colleagues who worked on The Day the Earth Blew Up! You all deserve to feel monumentally proud for making something so special. Thank you.
(Please go treat yourself and support everyone’s incredibly hard work by seeing this in the theaters! It needs all of the support and love it can possibly get!)
Original sketch from October:
ONE WEEK UNTIL THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP RELEASES IN THEATERS! That means tickets are on sale RIGHT NOW! Please support The Little Film That Could for a variety of reasons, one of those being that it’s the very first completely animated Looney Tunes movie in the series’ 95 year history! It’s history in the making! I’ve got my tickets booked! Have you?
Happy eh-bih-be-ehh-eh-beh-bih-eh-bih-ehh—aw, the ol’ boy’s 90! As the self proclaimed number one Porky Pig fan, this isn’t an occasion to take lightly; I had to just devote a piece to the wonderfully chaotic Porky’s Party to celebrate! Happy birthday, fat boy!
A piece that has been 5 years in the making: the only thing better than a Dick Tracy valentine is a Duck Twacy valentine!
I have it on good authority that this is tried and true advice!
Horrified, shocked, dismayed, aghast, gobsmacked that it took 22 days into the new year to scribble out a pig. How could you guys let me slack like this. How dare you. How dare me.
These doofuses have gotten me through a lot this year, so it’s only fair I close it out with them.. something something please party responsibly!
With profuse apologies to Spike Jones and Jesus, here is my entry for the World Animation Discord's annual WADvent calendar! Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, and happy early birthday to those who can relate!
Official upload! Please also check out this year's (and previous years) WADvent entries, they are all gold and way too much fun

Animatic to final for Get Ouch! I was essentially just articulating and cleaning up Eddie Trigueros' GORGEOUS roughs and ideas, which was such a great experience getting to absorb his mastery through artistic osmosis! All of the classic cartoon gags and dynamics... I'm so lucky to have been a part!
I have it on good authority that if you’re following me, you’re likely a fan of golden age cartoons or SpongeBob. What if I were to tell you.. you could have your cake and eat it too? Tune in to “Get Ouch” TOMORROW at 5PM! One of my favorite episodes I’ve worked on for reasons soon to be obvious!
Highlight of my artistic career in all the years I’ve been able to hold a pen: working on a DBZ-style fight between Plankton and Krabs!
This was a great exercise at getting out of MULTIPLE comfort zones, whether it be through the effects animation, action, or boarding from scratch!! A huge thanks as always to Tim Prendergast in teaching me the ways of effects animation, and now effective action hoarding! This was a pretty intimidating section since it’s such a far departure from what I’m used to, and so I’m really fond of what we came up with. Some revisions here by @sega-megadeth (like Krabs throwing the power punch)!!
Will post more boards soon, but just wanted to get this out since it’s been so hard to sit on it!! Everyone did a fantastic job on this special!
Been getting into Lupin… everything reminds me of him but maybe it’s founded this time. Maybe.
Plus my original sketch I hastily scratched out while watching—poor Porky as Jigen didn’t make the cut but perhaps that’ll change someday
Additional proper jacket alts…
