Another music video I helped animate! Featuring Kanye West?! I still can't believe it. I did the cleanup for the first shot of the artist's morphing. It was a lot of fun!

Aside from that, I feel like I need to vent.

I haven't liked where I've been for a while now. Lots of scary things going on in the US right now, and lots of other things under my hood that just make the situation worse. Last year my best friend passed away in March, and ever since then I have just felt myself mentally degrading. I'm getting help now, seeing a wonderful therapist, trying to take care of myself first and putting everything else in the back burner. Trouble with it is that of course after one of the most traumatic events in my life happens, I start getting work for music videos. I've gotten to work on some pretty cool projects, but that usually comes with a extremely tight deadline and no sleep during. It was both a blessing and a curse.

I have been pushing myself so hard all for the sake of making deadlines, (some of which you don't even want to know) navigating the world of self employment (Taxes fucking suck and are way more complicated than they need to be) and dealing with complicated feelings like "You shouldn't be happy today, your best friend is dead, remember?" or "You had a shit dad and will probably turn out like him unless you work as hard as you can and push yourself to your limits".

I have always been someone who puts other before himself and I'm realizing now that I am not taking care of me and that's something I need to change.

So I'm taking a break.

I'm not quitting animation, in fact I'm gonna make stuff for here and YouTube, stuff that I enjoy making that isn't going to force me to lose sleep. I'm just going to post as I create. There are so many talented artists out there and I feel like forcing myself to compete is unnecessary. You don't need 1 video a month from me, I need to make stuff that I'm proud of and isn't rushed out the door.

I don't know why I'm telling you all this, I guess it's good to get off my chest and maybe someone else out there needed to hear this. I don't know, I'm just done being miserable, cause a sad Joey is not as fun as a happy Joey.

Stay safe out there everyone, be kind to one another and remember to hug your friends and family. Love you all <3

New music video out from Denzel Curry! I had the pleasure of working on this segment.

Been really busy. Need sleep now.

Hi all! It's been a busy week in my neck of the woods. I recently had the pleasure to be a guest on A Couple of Crickets podcast! Had a lot of fun talking about bugs & boomers. Go check it out if you haven't already.

I had planned on releasing a new toon before the 31st but unfortunately I'm gonna have to delay it a bit longer. I really wanted to have this done in time for Spooktacular but I've decided it's best to keep working on it and not rush it. I'm bummed about it tbh. Right now there's still a lot to improve on and I'm waiting to get a better vo for one of the characters. I've lost a lot of sleep the past month and my body is starting to hate me for it. Normally I would just stay up for another 48 hours to get it done. When they figure out a way to eliminate the need for sleep I'll be the first to sign up. As a peace offering, I'm giving you guys a sneak peek, the first few seconds of the new animation in a gif.

Can you guess what/who it'll be about?

The black and white halftone effect is on purpose btw.

Some good news now! I've gotten another big music video gig! I obviously can't talk about it much in detail, but it is a big artist and I'm super stoked about it!

Happy Halloween everyone!

No big deal, just happened to animate Shnitzel rapping is all.

I'm freaking out right now. I went from having a relatively shitty monday to PANINI REMIX in no time at all. I just wanted to share the news with everyone on here. I can't post the video to newgrounds yet. Working on a clip of everything I did to put on here, but I also don't want to just post behind the scenes shit. You guys deserve meaty content.

That is all for now. I must go sleep.

Well I managed to squeeze out another one. It's nothing like Pickles, but it features a talking husky. You like Huskys don't you? I know you do you sick fuck. Wanna watch it? Go visit my Patreon. I'm not posting on newgrounds because a.) it's literally an advertisement for my patreon and I don't want to upload that stuff here and b.) I don't have a second reason I just like how official it sounds when I use a.) & b.).

In all seriousness, if you feel like donating I promise you will get your money's worth. If you don't want to, you can still enjoy my bi-weekly animations with no strings attached. I appreciate everyone who has already shown that they enjoy my work and I'm super excited to see what happens next. See ya around knuckleheads! <3

Seeing how much people liked Jar of Pickles really gets me hard. This wonderful site gave me so much entertainment way back in the day and now I'm gonna give it back. <3
