Felicitations!

Howdy, and welcome to my blog that actually functions as a blog!

I'll admit that I'm still a bit unsure as to what the actual purpose of this blog is to be, other than to serve as a personal dumping grounds. The state of social media has been making me increasingly itchy over the past few years, and it would be great to have a place that I can curate myself and spew any thoughts, hypotheses, anecdotes, or some other fourth thing into the wind, so here we be. 

I promise that the atmosphere won't nearly be as formal as my typing style indicates ("Convolution is funny," I say as the proud and lone soul who shares that opinion). Instead, it'll be a casual grab-bag of anecdotes, analyses, and ideas. Any and all thoughts on animation or film, personal musings and theories, diary entries of cartoons/films, sharing artistic influences (whether it be actual art or something completely random that inspires me just the same), breakdowns of my own art and processes, and just plain anecdotes about my life all come to mind. 

If you're currently on this blog, then it's more than likely that you're already acquainted with my shtick and what I do. Regardless, for the sake of completion (and to hear myself talk), here are a few valuable redirections:

  • Looney Tunes Review Blog
    • Arguably the most important redirect--since December 2019, I've been going through every single cartoon released in the Warner Bros. filmography with a fine tooth comb. It's been a labor of love and one of surprising revelation. 
  • Twitter
  • Instagram
  • Letterboxd
    • My Letterboxd is more of a personal scrapbook of cartoons and movies I've watched rather than a collection of reviews, but I would like to find a way to dump my thoughts about the daily handful of cartoons I watch on here.
  • Portfolio
    • In desperate need of updating, but a good collection of some old storyboards and a quick glance at my work.
Whether this lasts 5 years or 5 days, thank you for reading just the same! Here's to revitalizing The Year of the Blog in 2024. 

Heartbreaking: Art Is Actually Good

I know the fact that I made an introductory post over a month ago and have maintained a steady diet of radio silence betrays this notion, bu...
