This January, Animatic T.O. invited me to the podium. For those who don’t know, ANIMATIC T.O. is a monthly animation lecture series and social event dedicated to education, inspiration and building community in Toronto’s animation scene. I’m grateful of the opportunity and thankful for the full house. What a fun opportunity to share what I’ve learned through my […]
I’m going to take you back to early 2015, when I was faced with an opportunity to work with a then, world-class CG company called ARC Productions. (This post is not about what happen to ARC and its demise, but rather my experiences transitioning into CG) I had a couple of friends that had worked there for many […]

Between renovating/moving into our new home, […]
I did what they told me NEVER to do. Yes, I chose a book by it’s cover. I brought the book home and got half way through before before running to the computer to emphatically email the author. The book was called “CRIME” and that’s how Alix and I started talking. We clicked. We […]
It’s tough being a small studio. We don’t get contracts from Disney or Nelvana. We don’t have tax credits to cushion us, nor have millionaire moguls to back us.
