The new Superman trailer got me a bit nostalgic! Here are some old boards from Superman doomsday from way back when. Directed by the mighty trio of Bruce Timm, Lauren Montgomery and Brandon Vietti! We were still drawing on paper then! No CTRL-Z is a scary idea in this day and age! So is not being able to time the boards ourselves! I’ve always been inspired by the TMS boarded/animated episodes of BTAS, Superman and New adventures of Batman and Robin and made copies of all those boards when I was working there. I studied them like crazy! This was me trying my best to channel that energy. I’ll post some more in a bit. PT1 #superman #doomsday #storyboard #wbanimation
I had the opportunity to help out a bit on the Minecraft movie! I jumped in and out really quickly to help flesh out the now infamous chicken Jockey scene! It was a ton of fun to do! I was super stoked to see a bunch of the gags made it into the film! Watched it with my son and his friends opening weekend and it was an absolute madhouse! So happy to see kids enjoying the movies! #theminecraftmovie #chickenjockey
Was able to square away some time to help my pals @skyboundent with some storyboards for the season 3 finale of invincible! Storyboards is where I started my animation journey and it was really fun to just cut loose and interpret this INSANE fight between Mark and Conquest from the comics! Drawn by the mighty @ryanottley Thanks to @robkirkman@danduncanart@shaunphonso for letting me jump into the madness for a bit! I had to break this post up so this is PART 4 of 4

As a massive fan of @joemadx from the days going back to when he was a marvel comics artist I cannot tell you how thrilled I was to be given the opportunity to run the creative alongside the badass @barryjkelly for the teaser to the newest character to join @playwayfinder roster, GRENDEL! We pulled together a KILLER crew, we called ourselves FIVE COUNT PRODUCTIONS, we rolled up our damn sleeves and we got to work! Run over to the YouTube link, which I’ll also post in my bio and check it out! I’ll post some more snippets and cool dev stuff along with a proper credits list tonight, but in the meantime ENJOY! Thanks again Joe and the entire @airshipsyndicate crew for being such awesome collaborators. Some of the most fun I’ve ever had and a real dream come true! #airshipsyndicate #wayfinder #grendel #joemadureira
